Well, I guess this is one of those areas where you have to say the answer is 
it depends.  Is the month end closed?  Does the PO line still exist?  Do you 
want to track the returns for future analysis?  Do you want the PO line updated 
so that you can receive a replacement quantity against that PO line?  Has the 
PO line already been costed?  Do you need to adjust the receipt transaction 
back out of the actual costs?

There are a number of variables in the process of which you are probably 
aware.  In general, you would have an open PO line that is costed by the time 
you 
use the goods and need to have them returned to the vendor.  Many times it is 
a multiple line PO that you can open up the line with a negative receipt 
against that line using a special transaction effect.  You would also need to 
do a 
negative C transaction to "uncost" the costed quantity for that transaction 
since that is not going to occur with a negative matching transaction in A/P.

You probably need to address the questions in the first paragraph, along with 
other questions that others on this list may think about and develop a 
strategy based upon your unique business requirements.

Good luck.
