Confidently manage both the process of customer returns to you and the process of your returns to vendors with SouthWares Return Authorizations. Designed as an add-on module to SouthWares Inventory Control, Return Authorizations lets you manage your inventory in conjunction with items being returned from customers and items being returned to vendors.
