Actions

Action What it does
Delete RMA Cancels an authorized RMA when no return quantities have been posted.
Print Return Label Opens the return label workflow.
Cancel Leaves the RMA detail screen without saving.

What happens behind the scenes

Opening an RMA detail reads the RMA header and line records.

Completing or partially receiving an RMA records received quantities. If received quantities are less than the remaining authorized quantities, PAX asks whether to keep the RMA open for more items or close with the received quantity.

The Delete RMA button calls the cancellation workflow. PAX marks the RMA as Cancelled and blocks cancellation if the RMA is completed or has posted receipt quantities.
