• Key Concepts: 
  Item grading is a feature of SAP Intelligent Returns Management (IS-IRM) that allows users to assign a grade to each item returned. This grade is used to determine the condition of the item and whether it can be resold or recycled. The grades range from A (like new) to F (unusable). 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use item grading, users must first set up the grading scale in the system. This includes assigning a numerical value to each grade, as well as defining any additional criteria that should be taken into account when assigning a grade. Once the scale is set up, users can then assign grades to returned items. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on the system configuration. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the grading scale, it is important to consider how each grade will affect the item’s resale value. For example, an item with a grade of B may still be in good condition and could be resold, while an item with a grade of D may need to be recycled instead.
