SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Processing product returns involves complex decisions across RMA eligibility, condition grading, disposition routing, refund handling, fraud detection, and vendor recovery, and inconsistent handling destroys margin and customer trust. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Returns Lifecycle Management: Validate RMA eligibility, issue return authorizations, grade returned items (A through D), and route disposition across restock, refurbish, liquidate, donate, or destroy channels. - Fraud Detection & Scoring: Apply a 0-100 fraud scoring model covering wardrobing, receipt fraud, swap fraud, serial returners, and organized retail crime, with escalation triggers and hold thresholds. - Vendor Recovery & Warranty Claims: Manage RTV claims, defect claims, vendor chargebacks, and warranty disputes with ROI-based pursuit thresholds. - Use Case: A customer returns a $1,200 laptop claiming it is defective, but inspection reveals cosmetic damage inconsistent with the claim. Use this Skill to grade the unit, compare refurbish versus vendor RTV recovery economics, and evaluate fraud indicators before processing the refund. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to evaluate a return request, grade a returned item, or score a customer account for return fraud risk using the returns and reverse logistics frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions about returns-reverse-logistics

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide whether to restock, refurbish, or liquidate a returned product?

Grade the item first (A through D), then route by recovery economics. Restock Grade A items, sell Grade B as open box, refurbish only when cost is under 40% of recovered value, and liquidate Grade C through pallet auctions or wholesale channels.

How to detect return fraud like wardrobing or swap fraud?

Use the 0-100 fraud scoring model: serial number mismatches add 40 points, weight discrepancies over 5% add 25, and return rates above 30% add 15. Flag returns scoring 65 or higher for review and hold refunds at 80 or above.

What is the difference between a return and a warranty claim?

A return reverses a purchase within the return window, typically 30 days, for any reason. A warranty claim reports a product defect within the warranty coverage period and follows a separate workflow, usually handled by the manufacturer rather than the retailer.

When should I pursue vendor recovery for defective returns?

Always pursue claims over $500, pursue $200-500 claims if the vendor has a functional RTV program, and batch claims under $200 until thresholds are met. For overseas vendors, raise the minimum threshold to $1,000 due to collection difficulty.

How should serial returners who are also high-value customers be handled?

Segment by net lifetime value after returns rather than return rate alone. A customer with $80K annual spend and a 42% return rate may still be highly profitable, so use nuanced policy actions like restricted returns instead of outright bans.
