Bonus rules when returning a gift from a member
(Work ID:169523)
When a customer returns an item that was originally sold to a member who earned bonus from the sale, the original member can be removed from the receipt when doing online return to avoid reducing the bonus balance on the original member. In order to remove the member easily, we have a function “Delete member” that can be configured on any button in the sales view.
Use Case example:
Customer A wants to return an item and has a return note. Customer A is not a member.
Cashier scans the return note and adds the returned item to the receipt using online return
Cashier deletes original member from the receipt
The cashier finishes the return
