How It Works

Two steps, because that is all there is.

1

Keep the list short and real

Six good reasons beat twenty vague ones. Each is a record, so a report can group by it and a form can require it.

The reasons in use, with how many products each covers
2

Describe what the reason means

The description is what stops two people using the same reason for different things - which is what makes the eventual report worth reading.

A reason with its description

What You Get

Reasons as records with a title and a description, translatable like any master data

Products count per reason, so the list shows which reasons are actually used

What This App Does Not Do

Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.

It does not create returns.

Return pickings and credit notes are Odoo's own; this supplies the reason they refer to.

No workflow or approval.

A reason is master data, not a process.

No report of its own.

Once returns carry a reason, group by it in the reports you already use.

When the return starts as a complaint.

Quality

For the returns that are a quality problem rather than a logistics one.

Who Should Use Product Return Reasons?

Sales administrator
