Software Plan: Startup, Growth & Enterprise
Account Type: Seller Account
Inventory Type: Serialized & Non-Serialized
Purpose
Use this feature to complete returns in bulk using a CSV file after returns have already been initiated in the system. This applies to both B2C and B2B orders.
Use Case
Use bulk return completion when:
- Returns are already initiated for orders
- You need to mark returns as completed in bulk
Step 1: Download Bulk Returns CSV file
Click on Orders > Returns & Replacements > Hamburger Menu on Top right > Bulk Returns > Click on Save Template > CSV File will be downloaded
Step 2: Fill the required fields & Save the File.

Important Rules
1. Quantity Validation Rules
- If a return is initiated for a specific quantity under a single Reverse AWB, the same quantity must be completed together
-
Completing a smaller or larger quantity than what is pending under that Reverse AWB is not allowed
If quantities do not match, the system shows this Error
-
Return all the items that belong to the same return awb_number
or -
Please provide the exact quantity present in the pending/initiate return to mark complete return
2. Multiple Returns for the Same SKU
- If returns are initiated separately for the same SKU:
- Each initiation generates a different Reverse AWB
- Each Reverse AWB must be completed independently
- Bulk CSV supports completing such returns as long as:
- The correct Reverse AWB is provided
- Quantity matches the pending quantity under that AWB
3. Serialized Inventory Handling
For serialized SKUs, both methods below are supported.
Method 1: Single Row
- Enter multiple serial numbers in the
item_serialcolumn - Separate serial numbers using commas
- Quantity must match the number of serials provided
Method 2: Multiple Rows
- Use one serial number per row
- All other fields remain the same
- Each row represents one unit being returned
