FBA Customer Returns
- This feature is used to Import FBA Customer Returns from Seller Central and process those Return Reports in Odoo.
- In these reports, the user will also get the return reason for which the product was returned, if the return reason is provided by the customer.
- The user can also identify that the product in the report is either Sellable or Unsellable. Amazon Manages Unsellable Inventory for Unsellable Products.
- When the user processes the return report then the system will search the sales orders and if it is not found, then the system will not create the return stock move.
- If an order is available then the system will create a return stock move the source location will be the customer and the destination location will be set based on the product type it can be Sellable or Unsellable
- If the product is unsellable then you need to go to the unsellable location and if the product is sellable then it will be returned to the Amazon warehouse. The system will not create any credit notes in the return process.
With the help of this connector, you can even manage Unsellable Location in Odoo
- To configure Unsellable Location, you need to go to the menu Amazon ↣ Configuration ↣ Settings and Go to Amazon Marketplace configuration page under Orders and Returns.
Tip
The connector by default creates one Unsellable Location. You can set different Unsellable Locations for each Marketplace.
