This topic describes how to approve and process refunds for call center customers.

In the Call center parameters form, you can set thresholds above which refunds that are issued via check and credit card must be manually approved. For more information, see Configuring parameters and initial settings (Call center). Any refund that exceeds the threshold amount is added to the approval queue. After you approve the refund, the return sales order can be invoiced.
