Customer return scanning
Table of contents
Introduction
There are several ways to process goods which have been returned by the customers. The goods can either be received into the system using an ordinary inbound scanning, or you can use a special customer return scanning.
Using the customer return scanning means that you can more easily track the customer returns, since both the outbound process and the return process work against the same order:
- Customer places an order, which is delivered to customer.
- Customer sends goods back to the warehouse.
- Warehouse returns goods into the warehouse using the same order as in step 1.
When working with the customer return scanning, the standard work flow is to first scan the order that should be returned. Then you
- scan return cause,
- scan location,
- scan article barcode,
- and last you type the amount to be returned.
The following information can be displayed in the hand-held unit:
- A table containing the goods which has been delivered.
- A table containing the goods which has been returned to the warehouse.
