Module Objective

The Goods Return Inbox module serves as an approval and confirmation center for all Goods Return documents from the production floor. After the production team submits a return of leftover material, the document must be reviewed and its receipt confirmed here by warehouse personnel before the stock is officially added back to the inventory.

1. Main View (Return List)

The main page of this module is an "inbox" that displays all goods return documents awaiting confirmation of receipt by the warehouse.

• Filters: You can search for a specific document by Goods Return Code or a Date range.

• Document List: The table below will display all documents awaiting action, with columns such as Goods Return Code, Goods Return Date, and Approval status.
