Process authorised returns (RM)
In the Sales orders (SO301000) window, you can create a generic authorised return or an order document of the RM order type when a customer wants to replace any returned item with an item with a higher price, or when shipping and handling fees are charged for returns.
When you create an order of the RM type, make sure that for each line with the Receipt transaction type, the order has a line with Issue as the transaction type for a replacement item. You can add such lines manually (at this point, you can select other items for replacement), or you can select the Auto-create issue check box for each Receipt-type line (for items that are not tracked by serial or lot numbers) to make the system add the lines of the Issue type automatically.
