How Admin process the Return Requests in RMA for Magento 2

Customer can easily buy any type of products from Magento 2 website, Admin just needs to add the product and Enable that product to be shown in the Front of store and User visits the website and places an order and makes the payment, and all done, Admin receives the order placed by customer and process the order, this is the normal functionality of any eCommerce website and all of this is handled by Magento 2. Now comes the issue when after placing an order or even after order completion or Delivery, the Customer wants to return the order, this is not handled by Magento 2 so we have Created the extension Purpletree RMA with SMS for Magento 2 for this.

Admin can view all the return requests from Admin > Return > Manage Return Orders. All return requests would be visible on this page.
