Amazon-initiated Returns

The Amazon-initiated Returns process involves Amazon requesting the return of products that are overstocked or damaged. Vendors receive an Amazon-initiated Return Request, which can be reviewed under Orders > Returns. This system helps manage the logistical aspects of returning unsold or damaged inventory to vendors.

• Return Requests: Accessible via the Returns page, listing details like Request Id and Vendor Code.
• Request Types: Specifies whether items are sellable or damaged.
• Conditions: Indicates the status of requests—new, approved, or closed.
• Quantities and Refunds: Details requested and approved product quantities and refunds.
• Next Actions: Outlines the system’s next steps based on status.
• Authorization: Vendors assign an Authorization ID to track the return.

This structured process ensures clarity and efficiency in handling the return logistics for vendors.
