## Return Orders
Return Orders allow stock items (which have been sold or allocted to a customer) to be to be returned into stock, typically for the purpose of repair or refund.
!!! tip "An Order By Any Other Name"
A Return Order may also be known as an [RMA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_merchandise_authorization)
### Enable Return Order Functionality
By default, Return Order functionality is not enabled - it must be enabled by a *staff* user from the settings page:
{% with id="enable-return-order", url="sell/return_order_enable.png", description="Enable Return Orders" %}
{% include "img.html" %}
{% endwith %}
Once this setting is enabled, you can access the "Return Orders" page from the main navigation bar:
{% with id="return-order-navbar", url="sell/return_order_navbar.png", description="Access Return Orders" %}
{% include "img.html" %}
{% endwith %}
### Return Order Permissions
[Permissions](../settings/permissions.md) for Return Orders are managed via the `return_order` permission group. Users are assigned appropriate permissions based on the groups they are part of.
### View Return Orders
A list of Return Orders is displayed on the *Return Order* index page:
{% with id="return-order-index", url="sell/return_order_index.png", description="Return Order Index" %}
{% include "img.html" %}
{% endwith %}
Various filters are available to configure which orders are displayed, and how they are arranged.
### Return Order Status Codes
Each Return Order has a specific status code, as follows:
| Status | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Pending | The return order has been created, but not sent to the customer |
| In Progress | The return order has been sent to the customer |
| Complete | The return order was marked as complete |
| Cancelled | The return order was cancelled |

{% with id="return-order-create", url="sell/return_order_create.png", description="Return Order Create" %}

{% endwith %}

Indvidual Return Orders can be viewed via the Return Order detail page:
{% with id="return-order-detail", url="sell/return_order_detail.png", description="Return Order Detail" %}
