If goods are returned in good condition, they go back into stock but will be marked as duty paid to make sure we don’t pay duty twice.
It’d be great to see a stock report showing how much stock is duty paid.

Agreed- we would really like to see a report showing the breakdown of batches that are duty paid and duty suspended. We have multiple warehouses and often have to return items in order to assign them elsewhere but then cannot find the duty paid item to assign if we returned a batch that still has stock in duty suspense.

Agreed, we would find this feature useful for when duty suspended stock is sold but then returned to us. To be able to pull a report instantly (digital traceability) that tells us what stock in our warehouse is duty paid / suspended is critical for HMRC auditing.

Not only would this be helpful for internal reporting, but it is crucial that businesses be able to quickly show a visiting HMRC officer what stock is duty paid and what is duty suspended.
Currently this isn’t possible to do if you solely rely on Breww, which leaves us open to auditors fining businesses.
Yep. Notice 226 says:
The change of status of any beer from duty suspended to duty paid must be recorded and the products clearly identified in your records.
Currently this isn’t clear, is it?

Thanks, everyone. This is clearly identified in Breww’s records, but I appreciate you cannot currently pull this report yourself. We will look to get this report built, but in the meantime, if you have an audit and need this information, please open a support ticket, and we’ll be able to provide this information for you (so you don’t get fined).
If it’s not easy to see it’s not clearly identified. I appreciate the status may be unambiguously recorded, but that’s not quite the same thing.
You’ll be aware that HMRC can walk into a brewery anytime and ask for this. Raising a support ticket wouldn’t cover us. I don’t think?
Like @casey-sorenson says, “businesses [should] be able to quickly show a visiting HMRC officer”.
Used to put a sticker on returned casks. That’s unambiguous and visible. i.e. “Clear” 
Hi Luke,
As this is a legal requirement, could we please have a timeline for development of a report that would provide all Breww users with this information? We are expecting an audit imminently and as Jon has highlighted, we would need to show the officer at the point of them visiting so cannot prepare for this nor wait while we raise a ticket.
Good news, this report is now available 
If you go to Reporting → Pre-built production and inventory reports, you’ll find it listed as Duty paid stock.
We hope this is useful.
