In a return hub, returns are handled at the return level. This means that products in a return stay with the return and are not separated from the return. The returns process in a return hub is handled with the manifest flow. The return status in Return Bird is updated when the outbound process has been completed and the return has been shipped to its next destination. | Returns are handled at the product level by checking the content of the return. The returns process in a fulfillment center is handled with the container flow. The return status in Return Bird is updated when the inbound process has been completed. Received products (assets) are separated from the return and are stored in the Available-for-Disposition or Available-for-Sales inventory. |
