Introduction
Returns is a part of the Kornit X Sales module, allowing for customers to request a return which can then be managed and returned to a return bin on individual orders.
Once an item has been returned a Return Shipping Label will be generated within the system which must be added to returned items.
Reasons for returning orders could be due to the incorrect size or colour being delivered to a customer.

How Do I Create Return Bins?
With this Returns process you must be able to create bins, the following steps detail how to set this within the Platform.

- Select the "Returns" bin type option and set your Fulfiller company name and the number of bins needed. Once the data is there all that needs to be pressed is the "Create" button.
The fulfiller company must match the one set against your products, otherwise the option will not appear within the Bins dropdown of returning items.
- Click the "Create" button and these will now appear in the list of return bins.
Once the return bins are full of the returned orders, simply click the release button and the bin will be released. Alternatively clicking the Trash icon will fully delete the bin should you need to delete it.
Release will remove any connection between the order / items and bins marking it as empty so it can be reused. This should not be needed in general day to day use as bins will be released when items are returned but can used as a manual override where needed.
