    You will have to sets of entries here:

    One will be for Sales Returns
    Debit Sales Returns for the sales price
    Credit Accounts Receivable

    And the other one will be for Inventory return
    Debit Inventory for cost of the merchandise
    Credit Cost of Good Sold

    The above question and answer are not clear. While returning goods to the seller the purchaser will return the goods along with a Debit Note. After receiving the returned goods the seller will pass a credit note with the amount of goods sold then the entry will be
    Sales Returns a/c dr
    To the party(purchaser)
    (Being the purchaser credited with the value the value of goods sold)

    satyanarayanara, what you just said is even less clear, and incorrect. You have a debit with no credit, and haven't include both entries required. Pready's entries are correct. And I'm not sure at all what "being the purchaser credited with the value of goods sold" means.

    And a purchaser does not have to send a debit note. The not isn't necessary in order to make the entry - it just adds some paperwork for the sake of having paperwork.

    Once the CN approved:
    Debit-Sales
    Credit-CN Account Receivable

    Then for the new Sales Order:
    Debit-Bank
    -CN Account Receivable
    Credit-Account receivable
