Advanced Exchange Workflow

Salesforce admins configure the org, assign required permissions, and enable the Advanced Exchange feature. Once set up, field service technicians or service managers can initiate return and replacement requests for damaged products or parts—all from one place, without navigating across multiple pages in the app.

Salesforce Admin

Salesforce admins prepare the Salesforce org, assign permissions to users, and set up Advanced Exchange and related features.

Field Service Technician or Service Manager

The field service technician or service manager initiates Advanced Exchange to create return and replacement requests for damaged products or parts simultaneously, streamlining the process and minimizing downtime.

  • The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) creates a work order to inspect a specific product or part.
  • Based on the work order, the service manager or field service technician inspects the product or part for any damage.
  • If a replacement is needed, initiate an advanced exchange request to return the damaged item to the OEM and request a replacement.
