How the work flows

Trigger: A customer, distributor, or clinic submits a formal request to return a pharmaceutical product, medical device, or laboratory supply.

  1. Receive return request from customer or distributor
  2. Verify return eligibility against warranty, lot, or expiration policies
  3. Issue Return Material Authorization (RMA) and shipping instructions
  4. Receive and inspect physical product for condition, tampering, and temperature compliance
  5. Process customer credit, refund, or replacement order
  6. Route returned items to quarantine, restock, or disposal

Outcome: The returned product is physically received and verified, and the corresponding financial credit, refund, or replacement is processed for the customer.
