After you submit a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) order for your defective
enterprise assets, you must complete various tasks to close the order.

You must complete the necessary set of tasks separately for each RMA order line within an RMA order. After you complete all necessary tasks for an RMA order line, it moves to the Completed stage. Once all RMA order lines within an
RMA order reach the Completed stage, the RMA order is closed.
