    Setting up returns for JTL-FFN

    This documentation describes the configuration of returns for online merchants and fulfilment service providers working with JTL-Wawi.

    The return reasons and item conditions in JTL-Wawi are not the same as the return reasons and item conditions of the JTL-Fulfillment Network. Both online merchants and fulfilment service providers therefore need to assign the JTL-FFN return reasons and item conditions that are the best possible match to the return reasons and item conditions in JTL-Wawi. Both online merchants and fulfilment service providers can make this assignment separately in JTL-Wawi; they do not have to make the same settings. When a return is transferred to JTL-FFN, the online merchant or the fulfilment service provider is shown the reason assigned in JTL-FFN.

    Example:

    As a merchant, you assign the JTL-Wawi return reason “Did not match description” to the JTL-FFN return reason “Wrong item shipped”, while your partner assigns the JTL-Wawi return reason “Wrong order” to the same JL-FFN reason.

    Your task/initial situation

    In order to be able to transfer returns from JTL-Wawi to the Fulfillment Network, you must assign the return reasons and item conditions from JTL-Wawi to the return reasons and item conditions in JTL-FFN.
