Returns

A list of all suppliers on Batch Returns and Batch Payments can be found here.

Some suppliers only allow overstocks through Batch. You will need to contact the supplier directly if the return is for another reason.

Yes! Once approval has been given by the supplier, the actual quantity of products being returned must be confirmed. Quantities can only be adjusted downwards. If more books are returned than have been approved, then it is likely that a credit will only be raised for the approved number. A new request should be raised for any additional quantities to return.

From the 'Search' tab, search by 'Request#', 'Customer Reference' or 'RAN', to list any matching authorisations. Click on the required RAN in the Search Results to show the Confirmation screen from where the labels or a picking list can be printed.

It isn't possible to delete a Returns request once made on Batch. Any request that isn't actioned is moved to an archive folder after ninety days and so doesn't appear on your summary screen. If the Return is still required, it can be submitted again without issue.

If a reply hasn't been received within 24 hours, you should contact the supplier directly. Any technical issues involving Batch will be announced on our website and on Twitter @batch_services.
