Applicable Scenarios

You import refunds of payments based on a non-card payment method from Shopify to MYOB Acumatica so that you can keep track of refunded payments and restocked items. You may issue refunds in the Shopify store in the following cases:

• A customer has received the purchased item but is not satisfied with its quality or performance and wants to return it.

Configuration of the Import of Refunds

To configure the import of refunds from a Shopify store to MYOB Acumatica, you perform the following general steps:

1. Define a return order type.

   On the Order Types (SO201000) form, you define an order type to be used for return orders created during the import of refunds from the Shopify store to MYOB Acumatica. A return order type should be created with the following settings selected on the Template tab:

   • Automation Behavior: RMA Order
   • Default Operation: Receipt
   • AR Document Type: Credit Memo
2. Define an item to represent imported refund amounts.

   On the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form, you define a non-stock item that will represent imported refund amounts in sales orders and in return orders. For this non-stock item, you should specify the following settings on the General tab:

   • Tax Category: A tax category corresponding to tax-exempt items
   • Require Receipt: Cleared
   • Require Shipment: Cleared
3. Define a reason code.

   On the Reason Codes (CS211000) form, you create a define a reason code to be inserted in return orders for refunds imported from the Shopify store. This reason code must be of the Issue usage type.

4. Activate the Refund entity.

   On the Entity Settings tab of the Shopify Stores (BC201010) form, you activate the Refund entity for the Shopify store.

5. Specify the refund import settings.

   On the Order Settings tab, you specify the identifiers of the entities you have created (in Steps 1 through 3) in the following boxes:

   • Return Order Type
   • Refund Amount Item
   • Refund Reason Code
6. Specify the payment methods for which you need to import refunds.

   On the Payment Settings tab of the Shopify Stores form, you select the Process Refunds check box for each payment method for which you want to import refunds. For details, see Order Synchronization: General Information.

Import of Refunds for Non-Card Payment Methods

Refunds are imported from the Shopify store to MYOB Acumatica as part of the synchronization of the Refund entity, which can be synchronized only in the Import direction. During the preparation of refund data for synchronization, the system creates one synchronization record for all refunds that have been issued for a single sales order in the Shopify store.

For a refund to be imported successfully, all of the following conditions must be met for the sales order associated with the refund:

• The original sales order has been synchronized.
• The payment for the original sales order to which the refund pertains has been imported and released.

For information about the synchronization process, see Data Synchronization: General Information. For information about the import of various types of refunds, see Importing Non-Card Refunds: Order-Level Refunds and Importing Non-Card Refunds: Item-Level Refunds.
