Restocking charges are administrative charges that may be charged to the customer to return merchandise. These charges appear on credit memos to offset the credit amount issued to the customer.
Before You Begin
The restocking method and fee used are based on the values in the Restocking Charge Method and Restocking Amount/Rate fields in the Item Maintenance window and the miscellaneous charge code selected in the Restocking Charge Code field in the RMA Options window.
