I guess I wasn't exactly sure how returns of actual products(ie. not containers) should be handled but it would be nice if they could be handled within the realm of a sale.
I agree that "damaged" products that are type stockable should not be returned to storage. The return of damaged products is a good example. Does that affect stock and accounting or just stock? I do not understand what must be done in the case of accounting when a damaged good is returned. Let's assume for now that damaged products will be discarded instead of re-used or sold at a discount. I guess that in the case of damaged stockable products that nothing will be done at all regarding stock when they are returned. The return of composite containers on the other hand seems like a less likely example. Why wouldn't the crate and the bottles both be all products themselves? Otherwise what happens when a crate is returned with all bottles but 1?(Assume that 1 bottle was broken and was discarded prior to the customer returning the containers) Are there more business cases/examples/edge-cases than the two above?
