Multi Store Operations and Reporting
Contents
Under normal circumstances, you will allow orders from one store to be returned add another store. Typically this is a convenience that your customers enjoy, and that you are willing to offer because unlike your single store competitors, you can.
When you return an order that was created in another store, the revenue for the transaction will go to the store that created the order, and the items that are returned will be transferred to the store that they were returned to.
Any money that you need to collect during the return process will go into your cash drawer. If you use integrated credit card processing, the money will go to your credit card processor. Because the revenue for the transaction will go to the store that created the order, but the receipts for the transaction may go to your store, you could see a difference between your cash to report and the export report for the store for the items were returned. To analyze these differences, you should run your Payments From Other Stores screen or report.
