Case 1: Refund is done for an unfulfilled order on Shopify
When refund is issued on Shopify for an unfulfilled order, Sumtracker detects if the items have to be restocked based on the Restock checkbox on Shopify.
If you select the restock items checkbox, the products are put back in stock in Sumtracker. There is no adjustment to inventory needed as the product was never shipped for the unfulfilled order. The inventory is released from Booked stock and added to the Available inventory.
