Abstract
A computer system for processing undelivered returned products comprising a memory storing instructions for executing steps. The steps including receiving pallet information identifying a pallet as containing one or more undelivered returned products, creating at least one internal purchase order for the one or more undelivered returned products contained in the pallet and updating a product tracking database based on the at least one internal purchase order. A notice may be provided to a worker that an undelivered returned product has been returned and the return may be due to a customer cancelling an order. Further, based on receiving information from a worker that an undelivered returned product contains a defect, error information may be transmitted. Finally, based on receiving information that an undelivered returned product has moved to a stow zone, product availability information may be updated on a database.
