  1. A Return Authorisation cannot include items with an Action of Invoice as well as items to be replaced. If this is required then create 2 separate Return Authorisations
  2. If a Return Authorisation is to be created for only items that were not in the original order, e.g. an item that was not ordered but was delivered, then click 'Create an empty RA to add items not in order'.
