Documents are sent to the customer as an attachment to the Return Shipping Mail and shown in the ship section of the return portal.
Documents exist in 3 types:
Packing Slip: the packing slip contains information about the content of a return shipment.
Shipping Invoice: the shipping invoice contains information about the content and the value of a return shipment.
Shipping label: the shipping label is needed if you use a virtual drop-off or virtual carrier service.
Packing slip
The Packing Slip is not mandatory. If you want to use a packing slip, you can define a packing slip with document elements and triggers.
The packing list typically includes the following elements:
Document header: the header includes a document title that will create the name of the PDF file.
Document body: the body of the document typically contains the following elements:
Barcode
Address table
RMA information table
Returnable product table
Document style: the document style allows you to define the colors of the different body elements.
Activation triggers: a packing list is typically used for all returns and should therefore be linked to all carrier services. However, you can exclude the packing slip for certain carrier services.
In the returnable product table, it can be defined which product information should be included in the packing slip, such as:
Custom attributes (if selected, all product custom attributes will be shown)
Return reason
Service requests
To show the product information, the display type should be set to "products".
