3.4 Customer Return with Ad-Hoc Inbound

3.4.1 Create Customer Return Notification What You Should Know
Goods are delivered to the warehouse. The warehouse manager checks the delivery and realizes that this is an unplanned customer return. The customer wants to return the product for some reason. The warehouse manager creates a customer return notification, using information from the delivery note enclosed with the product such as the original sales order of the delivery.

Two kinds of customer return are covered. One is standard (except service item), and the other is third-party. You need to get a completed sales order as prerequisite. You can use a sales order completed in any previous processes for standard customer return, which can be found in the sales order view. To get a completed sales order for third-party customer return, see the scenario Order-toCash (Third-Party Order Processing Material).
