Quick actions (fast-forward)
Quick actions (internally called fast-forwardFast-forwardShortcut transitions on an RMA that skip intermediate statuses. Shown in the UI as **Quick Approve & Ship** (Pending Approval → In Transit) and **Quick Close** (In Transit → Closed, or Received by Supplier → Closed). Saves clicks; does not mint credits automatically. Read more → ) are one-click shortcuts that skip intermediate RMA statuses. They live as a second item in each transition button’s split-dropdown, alongside the manual version. Useful when the intermediate states aren’t operationally meaningful.

The three Quick actions
Section titled “The three Quick actions”- Quick Approve & Ship — Pending Approval → In Transit. Stamps approved and shipped dates; fills approved and shipped quantities from the requested quantity.
- Quick Close (from In Transit) — In Transit → Closed. Stamps supplier-received, inspection-complete, resolved, and closed dates; fills received quantities from shipped.
- Quick Close (from Received by Supplier) — Received by Supplier → Closed. Stamps inspection-complete, resolved, and closed dates; fills received quantities from shipped.
In the UI, each appears in the actions split-dropdown for the current status — Pending Approval has Manual Approval + Quick Approve & Ship; In Transit has Mark Received + Quick Close; Received by Supplier has Complete Inspection + Quick Close.
”Mark All In Transit” is not a Quick action
Section titled “”Mark All In Transit” is not a Quick action”The Approved → In Transit dropdown has a similar-looking option called Mark All In Transit that ships every approved quantity in one step. It’s a regular transition with auto-fill, not a status-skip — the RMA still ends up in In Transit, not further along. Don’t confuse it with Quick Approve & Ship (which jumps two statuses) or Quick Close (which jumps to the end).
What Quick actions do NOT do
Section titled “What Quick actions do NOT do”- They don’t mint credits. Crediting stays a separate, explicit operator action — see Issuing supplier credits.
- They don’t run any per-status side effect that wasn’t already running.
- They don’t move inventory back into a location — use the Move-inventory dialog for that.
