Net sales for a company are their sales less the returns. (Sales - Returns = Net Sales)

Consider the following example. (Sales) $182,346.58 (Returns) $5,486.95 = (Net Sales) $176,859.63

Normally, the original order (invoice) is required in order to show from whom the product was purchased, when the product was purchased and at what price.

Requesting the customer to prepay for items that are being ordered encourages the customer to pick up the parts when received. If the customer does not pick up the product, you are not out anything since the parts have been billed.

Using a digital camera to take pictures of the damaged part, the packaging and the carton the product was shipped in is helpful in processing any claim.

When customers bring in their old component (dirty core) to purchase a remanufactured one, they are taking advantage of an exchange program and it is not necessary to charge them the core charge (clean core). Keep their old component (dirty core) and box. Check that the component supplied matches the one returned.

Some retailers require the core to be returned in the original box of the replacement component (Figure 14).
