Material Returns

Material Returns Overview

The Material Returns module designs and tracks all returns that happen within your company. This module allows you to identify, and track different types of returns, the reason for the return, the material that needs to be returned, and quantities to be returned. Users can generate nonconformances and other workflows that link directly to the original return.
