The Centara eMessaging for LS Central connector adds three actions to both the LS Retail Purchase Return Order card and its list view. The headline addition is the Send action, which delivers a PEPPOL RETANN (return notification) to vendors that are configured to receive electronic return notifications.

This page covers only the Centara additions. Standard LS Central fields and actions are documented in the LS Retail help portal.

LS Retail Purchase Return Order (Card)

Three new actions appear under the processing group, and the same three are promoted to the Process action category.

ActionWhat it does
SendSends a Purchase Return Order message to the vendor. If the vendor has Receives RETANN enabled on the Vendor card, the order is sent as a PEPPOL RETANN message via CentaraIQ and a confirmation is shown (“Retan Message sent to Vendor Name …”). If the vendor does not receive RETANN, the action falls back to emailing the standard purchase document PDF. In either case, the order is automatically released after sending.
&PrintPrepares to print the return order. Opens the standard report request window where you can choose what to include on the print-out.
Attach as PDFCreates a PDF rendering of the return order and attaches it to the document as a document attachment, so a printable copy travels with the BC record.

To enable PEPPOL return-order delivery for a vendor, set Receives RETANN to Yes on the Vendor card — see the LS Central overview.

LS Retail Purchase Return Order List

The same three actions are exposed on the list view so they can be triggered without opening the card.

ActionWhat it does
SendSame as on the card — sends RETANN to vendors that accept it, falls back to email otherwise.
&PrintSame as on the card — opens the print request window.
Attach as PDFSame as on the card — generates a PDF and attaches it to the document.

How this fits together

The Send action ties LS Retail return orders into the standard Centara eMessaging outbound flow:

  1. User triggers Send on a Purchase Return Order
  2. Connector checks the vendor’s Receives RETANN flag
  3. If enabled, a PEPPOL RETANN message is generated and dispatched via CentaraIQ
  4. If disabled, the order falls back to standard email delivery
  5. Either way, the order is released
