Feature description

You can now fetch the Return Challan for your B2B orders directly from the system. Return Challan provides a detailed summary of the items being returned, ensuring smooth and transparent return logistics between you and your buyers. The Return Challan helps in maintaining proper documentation for reverse shipments, enabling better compliance and inventory reconciliation.

Use Case

Scenario:
A wholesale eCommerce seller supplies apparel in bulk to multiple retail outlets across different cities. One of the retail clients initiates a return due to a mismatch in sizes and colors received.

Without Return Challan:
The seller receives the returned items without any formal documentation. This leads to confusion in identifying which items were returned, causes delays in inventory reconciliation, and creates disputes with the buyer over what was actually sent back.

With Return Challan:
The seller generates a Return Challan from the system as soon as the return is initiated. This challan includes a detailed list of products being returned, along with quantities, SKUs, and reason codes. It is shared with the buyer and attached to the return shipment.

Info

In a B2B invoice, there are two address fields: Bill To and Ship To.

  • The Bill To address represents the dispatching location — the address from where the goods are being shipped.

  • The Ship To address indicates the buyer’s location — where the goods are to be delivered.

However, in the case of a Return Challan, these addresses are reversed:

  • The Ship To address from the original invoice becomes the Bill To address in the return challan.

  • The Bill To address from the original invoice becomes the Ship To address in the return challan.

Notes
Note:
If the order invoice value is ₹50,000 or more, the Return Challan details will be reflected on the eWay bill generated through the government portal.
For orders with an invoice value of less than ₹50,000, an eWay bill is not generated, and the return challan details will be available only in the Return Challan.
