Calculation/Result/Additional info
903 “Stock value” fictitious products   1875.00
Purchase price * Quantity

15.00 * 125 = 1875.00

This transaction decreases the “Stock value”. Note: Normally you should not account transaction type 903 on the same account as transaction type 901/902 in Financials. Since the stock value in Distribution is not updated for fictitious products you will never be able to reconcile the stock account in Financials with the stock valuation list in Distribution, if you account these three transaction types on the same account in Financials.

931 Return to supplier 1875.00  
Purchase price * Quantity

15.00 * 125 = 1875.00

This transaction is the return value. Tip: This transaction type can, for example, be accounted on the same account in Financials as the 930 transaction type. The amount on this Purchase account will then be the net purchase value.
