Select Orders For Return Authorization Screen

Purpose: Use this screen to advance to subsequent return authorization screens.

How to display this screen: Enter WRTA in the Fast Path field on any menu screen or select Work with Return Authorizations from a menu. Also, you advance to this screen through the Processing SmartLabel Returns (PSLR) menu option if the SmartLabel Scanned Return Input Mode (I61) is set to WRTA and your entry at the SmartLabel Returns Screen does not match an order.

Description

Order number

A unique number to identify an order and the shipping address.

Enter an order number to advance to a screen where you can work with return authorizations for the order. (If the order has more than one shipping address, you advance first to the Work with Order Recipients Screen to select a recipient.)

 

Note: If you enter an order number that has had the pay type deactivated by the Security Risk Purge function, an error message indicates:

All pay types on order are deactivated.

Please enter a valid pay type in Order Maintenance.

 

Order number

Numeric, 8 positions; optional.

Ship-to number

Numeric, 3 positions; optional.

Sold-to customer

A unique number to identify the customer who places an order.

Enter a customer number to advance to the Scan Orders by Customer Screen.

Ghost customers: If you enter the customer number of a ghost customer, the scan screen does not display any orders; this is because a merge/purge has assigned any orders using that customer number to the “target” customer. You can identify a ghost customer by the setting of the Ghost flag.

Numeric, 9 positions; optional.

Recipient customer

A unique number to identify the customer who receives the order (sold-to customer) and the permanent shipping address for the customer (ship-to customer).

Enter a sold-to customer number and a ship-to number for this customer to advance to the Scan Orders by Customer Ship To screen, which lists orders for each sold-to/ship-to combination.

Sold-to number: numeric, 9 positions; optional.

Ship-to number: numeric, 3 positions; optional.

Item

A code identifying a unit of inventory.

Enter a full or partial item code and SKU, if any, to advance to the Scan Orders by Item screen.

A code that indicates the state of an order. Valid values are:

blank = Open

A = Archived to optical disk

Enter a status code to advance to the Orders by Order Status scan screen.

Alphanumeric, 1 position; optional.

Numeric, 6 positions (MMDDYY format); optional.

Credit card number

The number of the credit card the customer used to pay for the order.

Enter a full or partial credit card number to advance to the Scan Orders by Credit Card screen.

Note:

• If you do not have authority to the Display Full Credit Card Number (B14) secured feature, credit card numbers on the scan screen display in the default format specified at the Credit Card Number Layout Screen. For example, ************1443 may display instead of the entire credit card number.

• If the entire credit card number does not display, the first 12 digits of the credit card numbers may have been replaced by Security Risk Purge. If the Security Risk Purge function has updated the Invoice Payment Method (CSINVP) file, the entire credit card number does not display regardless of your authority.

• If you have credit card encryption enabled, the system will not find a credit card number match unless you enter the full credit card number in the scan field. The credit card number you entered in the scan field is display-only at the top of the screen. See Using Credit Card Encryption and Data Security for an overview.

• If you use Credit Card Tokenization, you will not be able to scan on the credit card number since the credit card number has been replaced with a token.

• Depending on the user’s authority to credit card information, the system writes a record to the Credit Card Audit file when you scan on credit card. See Logging Credit Card Data Access for more information.

Alphanumeric, 30 positions; optional.

Order cross ref #

The web order number associated with the customer's order, as defined in the E-Commerce order number field in the Order Header Extended file. An order is associated with a web order number if it is passed through the E-Commerce Interface.

Enter a full or partial web order number to advance to a Scan Orders by Cross Reference Number screen. This screen lists orders in ascending (lowest to highest) alphanumeric sequence by web order number.

Ghost customers: If you enter the customer number of a ghost customer, the scan screen does not display any orders; this is because a merge/purge has assigned any orders using that customer number to the “target” customer. You can identify a ghost customer by the setting of the Ghost flag.

How to advance from an order scan screen: From an order scan screen, select the order you want to work with.

Standard process:

If a return authorization already exists for the order you select, you advance to the Work with Return Authorizations Screen. From this screen, you can create a new return authorization, or you can work with an existing authorization, adding new items or receiving and/or crediting the items already selected.

If no return authorization exists for the order you select, you advance to the Work with Return Authorization Detail Screen. From this screen, you can create a new return authorization and process it as far as necessary.

Streamlined process:

You advance directly to the Work with Returns for Order Screen, where any items available for returns processing display. To be available for returns processing, the item must be either shipped and unreturned, or have one or more return authorization currently in process.

Edit Customer Actions

The Edit Customer Actions Window displays when:

• the Display Customer Action Notes/Messages in RA (F64) system control value is set to Y, and,

• you select an order for return authorization and there are open action notes for the sold to customer.

The window displays in both standard and streamlined return authorizations.
