The Return Order screen allows the User to create and manage Inventory Return Orders. Return Orders require a Vendor and a Warehouse, Equipment from the Warehouse can then be added to the Return Order. A Return authorization number for the Order may be specified.

The Basics

...

  • Pending - The Pending status is meant to be used when building a Return Order, but before it is has been sent to the Vendor. This Status allows for internal processes like Approvals from internal organizational business practices to go through. If the Return Order or Equipment on it is declined at any point before the Return Order is sent to the Vendor, they can be edited by the Inventory Manager.
  • Open - The Open Status is meant to be used to Process Inventory on the Return Order and assign an action to the Equipment depending on how the User wants the Equipment to be returned.  When clicking the Process Item(s)Image Removed button, Users can choose to Edit, Repair, Replace, or process One Way the selected line of Equipment.
  • Closed - The Closed status can only be set once all the Inventory is processed. This status lets Users know that the Return Order has been addressed and no longer requires work to be done.
