Direct Return Request
When customers initiate a return request, typically, you can effortlessly retrieve their POS orders and process returns for them. However, in situations where customers cannot provide order information or the system fails to retrieve orders, manual creation of return requests becomes necessary. This article guides you through the process of creating and processing direct return requests without order information.
Creating a Direct Return Request
You have two convenient options for initiating a direct return request: directly within the "Cart" section or by pinning the feature to your workbench for quick access.
Adding a Direct Return Request
To manually add a direct return request, follow these steps:
- Go to the Home section in your POS app.
- On the shopping cart panel, click on the ellipsis icon [...] in the upper right corner.
- On the "Other operation" page, select Add direct return request to create a return record.
- Search for items or scan product barcodes to add them to the return cart.
- (Optional) To apply discounts, choose individual items in the cart and click Add discount to apply a discount to the specific item. Then, click Save.
- Once items and discounts are added properly, click Refund.
- Choose the refund method and click Complete. The refund request should be processed in just a few seconds.
- To exit the return request page, return to the "Cart" section and click Close.
The direct return request should be successfully processed, and the quantities of the returned items will be added back to the inventory.
Pinning the Feature to Workbench
If you frequently use the "adding return request" feature, you can pin it to your workbench for easy access. Follow these steps:
- In the "Home" section of your POS app, go to the Workbench tab and click Add an image block to access the feature selection page.
- Under the "Shopping cart management related" section, select Close direct return request.
The feature is now pinned to your workbench, allowing you to create a return request through this shortcut.
