One reason for needing to return an Item with a Serial Number and a Best Before Date to its Supplier might be because it failed a quality control test. You can use the 'Quality Control' function to record the result of this test.

To use this function, first place the insertion point in the Return row containing the Item that has been tested. Then open the Row menu by right-clicking (Windows) or ctrl-clicking (macOS) the row number. When the Row menu opens, select 'Quality Control'. If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Quality Control' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon). A 'Batch Quality Control: New' window will open, allowing you to enter the details of the test. In particular, use the Result field to connect the Batch Quality Control record to a record in the Batch Status setting. After you mark the Batch Quality Control record as OK and save, this Batch Status record will determine whether you will be warned when using the Item/Serial Number combination in an outgoing stock transaction, or whether you will be prevented from using the Item/Serial Number altogether (in the case of a Return you will usually choose a Batch Status that prevents the sale of the Item/Serial Number combination).

Please refer here for more details about the 'Quality Control' function and about alternative methods that you can use to record the result of a quality control test on the Item/Serial Number.
