Returns & Reverse Logistics

Return authorization, inspection workflows, restocking, and disposal handling for fulfillment operations.

How do warehouses handle returns processing?

Returns processing includes return authorization (RMA), receiving returned items, quality inspection, disposition decisions (restock, refurbish, dispose), inventory updates, and client notifications. Systems handle multiple return reasons, client-specific policies, refund triggers, and secondary market disposition.

Initiating returns:

RMA Process: - Customer request - Reason capture - Policy validation - Authorization generation - Label provision

Return Channels: - Customer portal - Client system integration - Customer service - Automated rules - Carrier pickup

Policies: - Return windows - Condition requirements - Reason restrictions - Restocking fees - Exception handling

Receiving Returns

Processing incoming returns:

Receipt Process: - RMA matching - Item verification - Quantity confirmation - Initial assessment - Photo documentation

Tracking: - Return status updates - Timeline tracking - Client notifications - Customer updates

Exceptions: - Unauthorized returns - Wrong items - Missing RMA - Condition discrepancies

Inspection

Quality assessment:

Inspection Steps: - Physical condition check - Functionality testing - Completeness verification - Damage assessment - Grade assignment

Inventory Updates

Stock adjustments:
