After the dealer submits the Return authorization subcase, it is transferred to the shipping and receiving team and is optionally inspected by the parts inspector.

Resolving the Return authorization subcase

The shipping and receiving team receives the Return authorization subcase for the return materials, processes it, and assigns a Good or Bad condition to it. The returned material is then assigned to a BIN number (storage space or slot) and the Return authorization subcase is resolved.

If the material being returned was set up to be inspected upon receipt, the Inspection case is initiated by the system.

The inspection process

If the returned material needs to be inspected, you should trigger the Inspection case after the return authorization is resolved.

The Inspection case has the following tasks:

• Performing the teardown
• Testing the part
• Performing the disposition
