Supplier Return Process for Faulty Electronics

Separate a faulty unit from sellable stock and follow the supplier claim to closure.

A device sent back to a supplier should not vanish into a notebook. The shop still needs to know whether it is awaiting repair, replacement, or credit.

## Capture evidence

Record product, serial or IMEI, purchase invoice, fault, photos, and supplier return reference. Check the supplier's claim window before dispatch.

## Move stock honestly

Mark the device unavailable and pack it with a traceable handoff. Keep shipping proof and a copy of the claim terms.

## Close the claim

Record whether the supplier repaired, replaced, credited, or rejected the unit. Check the replacement identifier before making it available for sale.
