Return Receipt Lifecycle

The Lifecycle

Transitions Explained

Receiving counts goods against the return authorization and moves no stock. Inspection records condition; disposition can proceed without a separate inspection. Restock restores original cost, while quarantine writes unavailable stock without restoring cost.

What Cannot Happen

Receipt keys prevent duplicate receiving and terminal disposition refuses further inspection or disposition. Quantity constraints prevent disposition beyond the recorded receipt.

Concurrency and Timing

Warehouse records and return quantities commit before financial continuation. Failed money work has no automatic retry on receipt replay or repeated disposition.
