A Return Is Both a Physical Item and a Status Change

Physical handling

Inspection Drives the Next Operational Step

The Hannover warehouse provides the physical environment for receiving, handling and returning eligible inventory to storage.

Physical condition, operating rules and connected status determine whether inventory returns to stock or moves into an exception path.
