Count the actual returned quantity and verify the item identity before deciding its stock disposition. Keep an opened supplier pack distinct from a complete sellable package, and apply the approved refund rule separately. Test similar dimensions and finishes so a return cannot replenish the wrong bin merely because the customer presents a familiar product description.
Understand the decision
A customer returns mixed loose fasteners in an opened bag alongside an intact retail pack. The barcode on the bag may describe the original purchase, not its present contents. The review should show how staff verify identity and quantity and what happens when either cannot be established reliably.
Work through the requirements
- Inspect identity rather than trusting the old label
- Count in the approved inventory unit
- Approve return credit and bin placement separately
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Return count | Records the actual quantity received |
| Item verification | Explains the confirmed or uncertain identity |
| Disposition instruction | Identifies the approved stock destination |

Watch for this failure
A barcode on reused packaging does not identify everything inside it. Require the return process to resolve physical identity and quantity, especially where visually similar small items could create persistent stock errors or be supplied for the wrong purpose.

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.
