Use Case 1:
Step 1: Seller has saved required parameters for all products from QC Settings>>Upload Products (Shiprocket Seller Panel).
Step 2: Seller provides the “qc_enable” key (TRUE/FALSE) before initiating shipment via Shiprocket. (rest of the keys will be automatically fetched based on sku).
Use Case 2:
Seller will provide all the QC parameters in the request payload while initiating shipment via Shiprocket.

Add Single Order - Manual & Frwd Order(Delivered)
Click on the “Add Return” button on the Return Listing dashboard for creating a single return order. OR
Click on the 'Create Return’ button on Forward Orders under “Delivered” status.
If the product belongs to QC listing, all parameters will be fetched automatically.
Seller can edit the parameters value for the order. Note: Changed parameter value will only be used for that order. Global parameters won’t be affected
Accepting Return Request
While accepting a return request containing QC product, the seller can check and update the parameter value before converting a request into a return order.
Note: If the Return Reason is “Wrong Item(s) Received”, buyer’s shared images will replace the qc image and other parameters. This is also applicable for “3: Add Single Order - Manual & Frwd Order(Delivered)”.
Updating QC parameters when return reason is "Wrong Item Received"
Problem Statement: If a seller initiates QC enabled pickup for a wrong delivered product, the parameters sent to courier from Shiprocket is of the actual product (which was supposed to be delivered). In this case QC parameter does not match during pick up causing pickup failure.
Resolution: For a QC enabled return order, if the return reason is "Wrong Item Received", qc parameters are replaced with the customer's shared image (of actual delivered product). So, during pickup, the courier executive will have the correct image for reference. (seller will have to upload image)
single - return reason step - wrong item received - image upload next to it - seller will upload customer image.
bulk -during order upload - download the sample file - return reason - wrong item received - image column - customer image.
