How This Calculation Works
CRITICAL LOGIC: 100 RTO orders of ₹500 product value does NOT mean ₹50,000 loss! If 90% inventory is undamaged and resellable, recoverable inventory is ₹45,000. Only 10% damaged stock plus freight/packaging form the actual unrecoverable loss.
💡 Realistic Indian E-Commerce Example
For 100 RTO shipments worth ₹50,000 inventory cost: Recoverable Stock = ₹45,000. Real Loss = ₹5,000 (damaged stock) + ₹11,000 (shipping/packaging) = ₹16,000 total net loss.
