RMA

RMA allows you keep a list of the serialized equipment you are sending back to the manufacturer. This section also allows you to view details of the return.

You can send both serialized and non-serialized equipment to RMA.

  • ** Note** You do not have to enter all of the equipment information on this page if it is already in inventory, in a tech's consignment or attached to a customer. In Inventory > Add , Inventory>Consignment or on a  customer’s invoice you can click the RMA button and the equipment will be sent to this RMA page automatically without manually entering the equipment information on the RMA page.


Looking up an RMA Record

The 'Lookup' page will be displayed when the RMA page is first selected, but you can return to this page after working on RMA records by clicking on the link, 'Lookup' at the top, left-hand side of the screen. You can look up a piece of equipment by RMA #, Model, Receiver #, Card #, Serial #, WO#, Invoice Type, Account ID, or Invoice ID. Also note if you send equipment to RMA directly from an invoice, these fields will auto-populate and it will give you the option to enter an RMA reason. 

Manually Entering Equipment

  • Click on the RMA link at the top, left-hand side of the page.
  • Select the inventory area where the piece of equipment came from and the provider. These fields will be set to the defaults set under Admin > Preferences.
  • If you already have the RA# for this piece of equipment, enter it in the RMA # field.
  • Select the Equipment Type. and the Equipment Name. If you do not see the options you're looking for, Types may be added under Admin > Preferences > Drop Downs, and Equipment Names may be added under the Inventory > Equipment page.
  • Depending on the equipment type entered, additional fields will display. Serialized equipment will ask for the serial number; receivers will ask for the receiver numbers, card numbers, serial numbers, etc.; and non-serialized equipment will let you press the "add" button without entering any other information. 
  • If you wish to delete the equipment from the system, hit the X button on the equipment’s row on the right hand side of the screen and the equipment will be deleted.
  • If you wish to send the equipment back to inventory, click on the Inventory link on the right hand side of the screen.

When an RA'd item is ready to be shipped back, you can click on the Ready to Ship tab under the Details button for an RMA record. Agemni auto-creates a shipment id number.

Print Shipment

After you have grouped a set of receivers, for example,  by assigning them the same shipment ID number (see above), you can print a copy of that group by clicking on the Print Shipment tab on the Details button of an RMA record. All RMA records which have the same Shipment ID number will display the same printable shipment page like the one below. These would be used when shipping a group of LNBs in one box, or a group of receivers on a pallet. You can create a summary for each box and each pallet using this feature.
