When merchandise (goods) purchased for cash is returned to the supplier, we need to record two journal entries. In the first entry, we debit accounts receivable account and credit purchases returns and allowances account. This entry is made to recognize the return of merchandise. In the second entry we debit cash account and credit accounts receivable account. This entry is made when a refund is received from the supplier for merchandise returned to him.
