Illustrative previewA quote-only Acumatica design for Return Merchandise Workflow, with event-driven controls, owned exceptions and document-level reconciliation.
Key Features
Trigger handling when a return merchandise workflow request reaches the ERP boundary within the event-driven scope, with an immutable source correlation key.
Validation of return merchandise workflow policy, organization mapping and accountable ownership, plus source events, correlation keys and retry ownership before any Acumatica write is proposed.
Mapping for Business Accounts, Sales Orders, Shipments and AR Invoices used in the return merchandise workflow process and governed by source events, correlation keys and retry ownership within the agreed organization scope.
Implementation through generic inquiries and OData feeds configured for the return merchandise workflow process in an event-driven context, selected from enabled supported interfaces.
Idempotent replay that returns the original ERP reference for duplicate events.
Exception routing for an invalid or unreconciled return merchandise workflow record in the event-driven queue, with owner, reason and source payload reference.
Field-level validation that separates mapping defects from authorization defects.
Least-privilege execution identity with explicit read and write boundaries.
Control totals for received, accepted, rejected, replayed and reversed records.
Reconciliation output connecting source identity to ERP document and status.
Configuration for source events, correlation keys and retry ownership without hard-coded organization assumptions.
Operational audit evidence covering event identity and processing outcome for the return merchandise workflow process and each manual intervention.

About this Product
Teams led by a business systems owner responsible for event-driven controls often coordinate the return merchandise workflow process across disconnected forms, messages and ERP screens. References are copied by hand, organizational rules are applied unevenly, and an exception can lose its owner before the underlying document is corrected. In this event-driven design, the requirements for source events, correlation keys and retry ownership are embedded in the workflow rather than kept on a separate checklist.
Proposed build
ECOSIRE would first scope and quote a build-to-order Acumatica extension. This page is a candidate design, not an existing software package. Processing would start when a return merchandise workflow request reaches the ERP boundary within the event-driven scope. The extension would validate return merchandise workflow policy, organization mapping and accountable ownership, plus source events, correlation keys and retry ownership, resolve Business Accounts, Sales Orders, Shipments and AR Invoices used in the return merchandise workflow process and governed by source events, correlation keys and retry ownership, and route an invalid or unreconciled return merchandise workflow record in the event-driven queue to a named work queue. It would not invent a mapping or advance a document when a required control is missing.
Acumatica implementation
The proposed technical path uses generic inquiries and OData feeds configured for the return merchandise workflow process in an event-driven context. Discovery would confirm which released interfaces are enabled in the target environment and which native lifecycle must remain authoritative. The extension would keep the initiating reference beside the ERP key, allowing an operator to trace a request through validation, posting, correction, reversal and reconciliation. Native posting logic would remain in control of the business document.
Exceptions and recovery
Each request would receive a stable correlation key. A repeated request would resolve to its earlier outcome instead of producing another document. Transport faults could be retried from a checkpoint, while business-rule faults would stay non-posting until an authorized user corrects the cause. The exception record would show the rejected field, rule, organization, owner and related ERP reference without requiring access to raw application logs.
Reconciliation
Operational reconciliation would compare received, accepted, rejected, replayed and reversed records. It would retain event identity and processing outcome for the return merchandise workflow process and expose unmatched source references separately from ERP posting failures. This distinction matters because a successful interface call is not proof that the business transaction reached its intended accounting or operational state.
Prerequisites and acceptance
Before construction, discovery would confirm modules, organizational structure, security roles, master-data ownership, interface availability, code lists, posting policy and representative test cases. A least-privilege integration identity would be used. Acceptance scenarios would cover valid processing, duplicate delivery, missing mapping, authorization failure, partial rejection, controlled replay, reversal and control-total reconciliation. The final scope would remain quote-only and build-to-order.

Frequently Asked Questions about Event-Driven Return Merchandise Workflow
What does quote-only and build-to-order mean?
This is a solution specification rather than existing software. Construction starts only after scope, interfaces and acceptance criteria are agreed.
Which Acumatica editions are supported?
Edition and release compatibility must be confirmed during discovery because enabled modules, released interfaces and extension policies differ. The build would use interfaces supported in the customer's environment.
How are duplicate events handled?
The proposed design uses a source identity and organization scope as an idempotency key, returning the existing ERP correlation instead of creating another document.
What happens when an invalid or unreconciled return merchandise workflow record in the event-driven queue occurs?
The record remains non-posting, receives a reason and owner, and can be corrected and explicitly replayed while preserving the original correlation.
What access is required?
A least-privilege integration identity, access to the agreed supported interfaces, and only the business objects included in the approved scope.
How is reconciliation performed?
Control totals compare received, accepted, rejected, replayed and reversed records, while event identity and processing outcome for the return merchandise workflow process links source events to ERP documents.
