Record the core obligation independently from the replacement part’s delivery, then identify the returned item and evaluate it against the approved eligibility rules. Keep the customer credit and any supplier recovery connected but separate. Test late, damaged and mismatched returns so the workflow can explain why a balance remains unresolved.
Understand the decision
A workshop returns an old unit after receiving the replacement, but its reference differs from the expected core. Customer service wants to close the balance while the supplier has not decided acceptance. The review should preserve the evidence and ownership of both commercial decisions.
Work through the requirements
- Identify the original core obligation
- Inspect the returned reference and condition
- Track customer and supplier decisions separately
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Core obligation | Connects the sale to expected return terms |
| Core inspection | Records identity and eligibility evidence |
| Recovery decision | Explains the customer and supplier outcomes |

Watch for this failure
A physical return is not automatically an eligible core credit. Do not clear the obligation solely because something arrived at the warehouse; preserve the identity, condition and reviewed terms that explain the eventual financial decision.
Continue the evaluation
This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
