Customer Initiated Return (CIR)

A user creates a Reverse Pick-up for the items which are returned by a customer. The customer return is handled by Market-places or by vendor depending upon from where the order originated.
Just create a “Put away Direct returns” to handle a case where the items are returned from the marketplace. Click here to know how to do it?

With this step, internally Uniware creates a Reverse pick up with awaiting action “Wait for Return and cancel” for the order items whose order had come from market-places or Carts. If an order came from a Custom channel, then all 4 options will be available while creating a reverse pick up. Thus, if you take Sale Order Export, all Return manifest codes are recorded and you won’t face any problem in Sale Order reconciliation.

A user won’t be able to create Reverse pickup for packages whose shipment is provided by Channel as Uniware is not tracking those shipments.

In case a customer initiates a return after receiving the package, a reverse pickup has to be created in the system. The customer return is handled by Marketplaces or by the vendor(s) depending upon from where it originated.

Uniware allows reverse pick up to be created only for those shipments in status DISPATCHED
