Type of RMA orders in Order Management

Overview of Returns
Order Management supports a variety of methods for returning products so your
return polices can respond to the changing needs of your marketplace. For example, a
shipment is damaged in transit and your customer calls to return the item. The type of
product, your customer's needs, and your company's polices can all affect the way you
process this request for return.
Order Management lets you decide at the time you authorize the return how to process
the request. You can accept the return and process a credit for the customer, updating
all sales activity and credit balances. Or you can accept the return for replacement, and
enter a replacement order instead of issuing a credit.
