The Supplier Returns Accepted setting indicates whether or not service supplier returns may be created for a product. A service supplier provides services or tasks that must be performed by a qualified individual or body, e.g., eye examinations, court translations. A service supplier return is a return filed by a service supplier in respect of the service that indicates the number of services provided for the agency.
Service supplier returns allow the agency to calculate the amount of money owed to a service supplier in return for services provided. For example, a registered doctor makes a return to the agency for the number of persons for whom the doctor provided eye examinations. Each individual service supplied by the doctor, i.e., each eye examination, appears as a line item in the overall return.
