Sale and return of returnable packaging
When selling returnable packaging, it is necessary to send the reason for VAT exemption to the Financial Administration, and it is recommended to print the description on the receipt.
As packaging can be returned either independently as a deposit refund or together with a beverage (return of goods), two different commands are used:
itemReturn returning goods including the beverage - it is necessary to specify the UID of the original document. itemNegative returning only the deposit packaging for redemption - UID of the original document is not required; the itemNegative command can only return goods at the VAT exemption level.
