When Safe returns goods previously purchased on credit from Yarrow, how should Yarrow record this transaction in their books?

Which account is debited when a customer returns goods previously sold to them?
When goods are returned by a customer, the transaction is recorded in the 'Return Inward' or 'Sales Return' book.

When a customer returns goods previously purchased, which account should be debited to record this transaction?
When goods are returned by a customer, the original sale is reversed. Since sales are credited, the sales return (or returns inward) account is debited to reduce the total sales revenue. The customer's account is then credited to reduce the amount they owe the business. This follows the nominal account rule of debiting all expenses and losses.

Which subsidiary journal uses a credit note as the primary source document for recording transactions?
A credit note is issued by a seller to a buyer to indicate that the buyer's account has been credited, typically due to the return of goods.
