Once the user clicks on Create RMA button, the pop up will open to ask if the user wants refund. Once the RMA is created, product picking will be generated, where the user has to update the quantity of the product under Operations.
Once the Stock Picking is validated, the product will be returned and the product quantity will be increased with returned product quantity.
