Cancel a Dispatch Entry

Purpose:

The purpose of 'Cancel a Dispatch Entry' in RetailEasy POS is to allow the seller to cancel a dispatched order that has not yet been delivered to the customer.

Sometimes, due to unforeseen circumstances, a seller may need to cancel a dispatched order. For example, if a customer cancels their order or if the seller does not have the inventory to fulfill the order, the seller may need to cancel the dispatched order.

Benefits:

- Canceling a dispatch entry can help correct mistakes made during the order fulfillment process. For example, if a wrong item was dispatched, canceling the entry will allow the retailer to correct the mistake and dispatch the correct item.

- If an item is dispatched but not actually shipped, it can still be considered part of the store's inventory, which can lead to inaccuracies. By canceling the dispatch entry, the retailer can ensure that the item is removed from inventory, which can help prevent stock discrepancies.

- By correcting mistakes quickly and efficiently, retailers can demonstrate their commitment to providing high-quality service to their customers.

- Avoid unnecessary shipping and handling costs, which can help improve their bottom line.
