Returns Model

Definition and Role

The Returns model represents product returns within the system. It manages the return process by linking return requests to customers, products, orders, and their associated details

Relationships

The Returns model defines various relationships with other models

• Order Item: Each return is associated with an order item that was purchased

  public function item(): BelongsTo
  {
      return $this->belongsTo(OrderItem::class);
  }
  
• Buyer: Links the return to a specific buyer

  public function buyer(): BelongsTo
  {
      return $this->belongsTo(Buyer::class, 'buyer_id');
  }
  
• Address: Each return has a related order address (morph relationship)

  public function address(): MorphOne
  {
      return $this->morphOne(OrderAddress::class, 'addressable');
  }
  
• Product: Links the return to a specific product

  public function product()
  {
      return $this->belongsTo(Product::class, 'shop_product_id');
  }
  
• Customer: Associates the return with a customer who requested it

  public function customer(): BelongsTo
  {
      return $this->belongsTo(Customer::class, 'shop_customer_id');
  }
  
• Activity Logging: The model logs activities using the Spatie Activity Log package

  public function getActivitylogOptions(): LogOptions
  {
      return LogOptions::defaults();
  }
