http://myhostname/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/
ReturnPrepare?RMAId=1&storeId=1&URL=ReturnDisplay

Behavior

  • Checks to see if the RMA exists. If not, returns an error.
  • Calls the RefreshExpiredRMAItemsCmd task command to determine if the RMAGOODFOR time frame has expired for each RMA item. The credit calculation and automatic approval is called again for those items that have exceeded the 'good for' time.
  • Calls CalculateReturnAdjustmentPolicyCmd task command to calculate RMA level charges or credits specified by policy.
  • Calls the CalculateReturnTaxCmd task command to calculate taxes.
  • Calculates all totals; that is, the total credit in the RMA and the total credit in the return.
  • If the total credit for the RMA is greater than zero, then calls the DetermineReturnCreditVehicleCmd task command to determine how to credit the customer, and sets the value in the RMA. If the task command does not resolve a credit method, it returns an error.
  • If any return item components are marked to be received, calls the ResolveReturnFulfillmentCenterCmd task command to determine a return fulfillment center for the RMA, and sets the value in the RMA. Otherwise, sets RMA.Ffmctr_id to null.
  • Marks the RMA as prepared.
  • Calls the ExtendReturnPrepareCmd task command.
  • On successful completion, call the specified URL.
