Returns and exchanges

Note
In roadmap communications, Order Management is referred to as the CSR Portal.

This topic describes how to view, process, and cancel order returns on the Order Management page, and how to process exchange orders.

Returns

Process an order return and refund

Prerequisite: The item's shipment status is Shipped.

Select Orders from the Order Management page.
Select the order whose items you want to return.
Open the Form Details tab.
Select the items you want to return. Or, click the item's context menu, then Create Return.
Click Create Return. A window displays, prompting you to choose a Return Quantity, Return Reason, and optional text comment for each item.
Click Create. A page displays with the return information.
If everything is correct, click Acknowledge Receipt Items.
Click Complete Return. The Create Refund page displays.
Verify that the refund amount is correct, select a payment method, and click OK. If necessary, adjust the refund amount, but it cannot exceed the original charge.

View order returns

To view returns on the Order Management page, click Orders > select a Completed purchase order > Return and Exchange. Returns made against the order display. Click a return, then View on the context menu to see its details.

Cancel an order return

Select Orders from the Order Management page.
Select the order whose returned items you want to cancel.
Open the Return and Exchange tab.
Select the order whose return you want to cancel. To view the items being returned, open the option menu (...) and choose View.
Click Cancel Return.

Exchanges

Process an exchange order

Create an exchange order if a customer wants to receive the same item or a different item as full or partial compensation for a return. For example, a customer returns a jacket worth $50 because it has a broken zipper and wants to exchange it for another version of the same jacket. Or, a customer returns a jacket worth $50, wants a shirt worth $25, and a refund of $25.

If the amount of the exchanged items is less than the original order, the customer receives a refund using the original order's payment method.
If the amount of the exchanged items is greater than the original order, the customer is charged the additional amount using the original order's payment method.

The Order Management page calculates the refund amount (if any). If the CSR changes the refund amount, a warning displays, but the CSR can complete the transaction.

The status of an exchange order is Awaiting Exchange. When you complete the return, the status changes to In Progress.
