Sometimes certain good need to be sent to a special location if returned. This could for example be the case if an item has reached its end of life, and it needs to be handled in a specific facility (outlet). This can be handled by configuring tags that contain the information about a specific return address. An order can be created with that tag which will then make sure that the return label will carry that new return address instead of the standard return address of the facility.
This will not affect the return notes generated via the fulfillmenttools platform.
There could be the case, that multiple alternative return addresses are chosen via tags. In this case, the alternative return addresses is chosen upon sorting the results by tagRef.
Create the needed tag and value
Create a new tag or use an existing tag. More about tags and how to set them up can be found here.
Create a Parcel Tag Configuration
When the tag is available, the tag configuration can be created which will carry information about the new return address.
The platform then should respond with a 200 OK response containing the information provided with the creation and last modified timestamp added.
Create an order with the tag
With the order, the now configured tag can be set. The tag works only when the tag is set on the order itself, not when it's on order line items.

Create a shipping label
When a shipping label is created a corresponding return label is created at the same time (if activated at all). The return label then carries the new return address which is given with the tag.
