      What do you need to know?
      You can track both warranty labor and parts through the RGA process. If you receive parts back from the vendor for replacement you will receive those items through the RGA itself. If you receive checks or credit for the items, you will receive them through Vendor Debit Memos (credit) or Bank Deposits (cash).

      • If a vendor does not approve the warranty or reduces the amount requested, update the RGA to reflect those changes.

      • An RGA can be closed even if all the inventory items, cash or credit have not been received.

       
      There are two types of RGAs:

      • Auto-Created: An RGA is automatically created when an item is marked as Warranty on a Sales Order, Service Order or POS Sales Transaction. The items are removed from stock when the items are delivered on the customer order, not when the RGA is sent.

      • Manual: A manual RGA is typically created when you receive damaged goods from the vendor and/or need to return a item. It is not related to a customer transaction. The items on the RGA are removed from stock when the RGA is sent to the vendor.

       

      Step by Step:

      1. Mark Item as Warranty on Customer Order (Sales or Service)

      • Marking an item as warranty will change the retail price to $0.00 on the sales or service order.

      • RGA is auto-created when the item is marked as warranty and the order is saved. - No stock movement occurs at this time.

      1. Send RGA to Vendor/Manufacturer

        • Go to Administration > Inventory > Return Goods Authorizations > Search RGAs.

        • Right click on the RGA and select Change Status - Send. No stock movement occurs at this time.

      2. Receive and Close RGA

      • RGA reimbursement can be in the form of inventory, cash, or credit.

      • You do not have to be reimbursed by the Vendor to close the RGA. If the Vendor is not going to reimburse your company, you may close the RGA with a balance still due.

      1. Invoice and Deliver Item on Customer Order (Sales or Service)

      • Marking items as delivered and invoiced causes inventory to be reduced. Invoice will automatically close if it has a zero dollar balance.
      •  

      Step 4 can be completed before Step 3 if you are replacing the warranty item from stock on hand.
