Identify the returned product, lot or serial, original delivery and observed condition before any release decision. Keep returned quantities in the business’s approved held state until the designated reviewer decides their disposition. Demonstrate that a customer refund or replacement does not automatically classify the returned goods as suitable for another delivery.
Understand the decision
A customer returns unopened units alongside an opened package from the same invoice. Commercial staff may approve a credit quickly, but the operational decision depends on the product and the organization’s reviewed procedures. The fit test must preserve that distinction without prescribing a universal resale or disposal rule.
Work through the requirements
- Capture identity and condition on receipt
- Maintain the approved hold pending review
- Record disposition separately from customer settlement
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Return identity | Connects the physical unit to its history |
| Hold record | Shows quantity location and review status |
| Disposition approval | Explains the authorized final treatment |

Watch for this failure
Unopened packaging alone should not be treated as a universal release rule. Product-specific procedures and qualified review may require other evidence, so the implementation must represent the approved decision rather than invent its own interpretation.

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.
