Question & Answer

  3. Search and select the appropriate Payment type for configuration setup

  4. Go to Refunds screen

  5. Select Refund To New Payment Method and select the new payment method.

  6. Select Create Refund Fulfillment Order Using and enter the item against which the RFO needs to be created.
