Keep the refusal and shipment side by side
The refused-parcel record keeps its return reference, refusal date and notes with the shipment concerned. Your team can understand what happened without searching for the parcel in an unrelated list.
Record when the goods reach the warehouse. Distinguishing the refusal from confirmed arrival matters: a parcel reported as refused can still be travelling back and should not be treated as physically received.
Distinguish refusal from warehouse arrival
A linked refusal record. Keep the return reference and refusal date beside the shipment. The record describes this exception while tracking remains on the shipment.
Notes for the handling team. Read the notes recorded with the refusal so the next person understands the case. Keep the original order and parcel identifiable.
Confirmed warehouse arrival. Record arrival when the goods actually reach the warehouse. A refusal reported earlier does not prove physical receipt.
Finish the physical follow-up with the right records
Keep the refusal history readable and cancel an incorrect record through its available action. The shipment remains the source for delivery context and tracking, while the refusal records this particular exception.
If the case calls for a customer refund or stock correction, inspect those workflows separately. Recording arrival at the warehouse is a physical milestone, not proof that money has been returned or stock has been adjusted.
Follow goods coming back to the shop
Review the shipment. Confirm the parcel, destination and refusal context. Keep the exception attached to the sale it belongs to.
Record the physical milestone. Maintain the arrival information when the returned goods are received. Read the refusal history to distinguish those two moments.
Handle stock and payment separately. Review any stock correction or refund in its own workflow. Cancel an incorrect refusal record without claiming the goods or funds changed automatically.
