🧩 1. RMA Process Flow — From Case to Approval
The RMA process in DreamCRM begins the moment a customer reports an issue:
- Customer Logs the Case
Via call, email, or CRM service portal/helpdesk. - . Engineer Diagnoses the Fault.
The service engineer determines whether the product can be repaired on-site or needs to be returned for repair/replacement. - Customer Applies for RMA
An engineer or customer raises an RMA Request, linked with the service ticket and product details. - RMA Review & Approval
Service manager or HO validates warranty, AMC status, and issue type
Approved → RMA processed for repair/replacement.
Disapproved → Remarks sent to customer. - Courier Out (Product Dispatch)
Product is shipped to HO/service center. CRM logs: courier, docket, dispatch date, and destination. Notifications sent to customer and HO. - Courier In (Product Receipt)
Product receipt at HO/service center is logged, confirming the RMA case and updating status as “Received for Repair/Inspection. - RMA Execution
Product is repaired, replaced, or temporarily substituted with a stand-by product from HO inventory. - Courier Out (Return to Customer)
After repair/replacement, CRM logs dispatch back to the customer and updates the status to “Delivered.
