Request field descriptions

Input Container/Field	Type	Occurrence	Meaning
filePurpose	string	Optional	The enumeration value used in this field indicates the purpose of the file(s) associated with the return request. One of the enumeration values defined in the FilePurposeEnum type definition must be used here. These files will either include information about the condition of the item, proof of the refund, or shipment tracking information. This field is optional, because it is also possible for the user to set the file's purpose when using POST /post-order/v2/return/{returnId}/file/upload method. Applicable values are from FilePurposeEnum: ITEM_RELATED This enumeration value indicates that the file is intended to provide more information about the item. For example, in a case where the buyer and seller are in disagreement over the condition of the item, the buyer or seller may provide a photo of the item that visually shows the condition of the item. LABEL_RELATED This enumeration value indicates that the file is intended to provide more information about a shipping label or shipment tracking information. For example, in a case where the buyer and seller are in disagreement over whether shipment tracking information has been provided or not, the buyer or seller may provide a photo of the shipping label itself, or they may provide a file that proves a package has been shipped or delivered. REFUND_RELATED This enumeration value indicates that the file is intended to provide more information about a buyer refund. For example, in a case where the buyer is saying that they have not recieved their refund, the seller may provide a file that proves that a refund has been issued. UNKNOWN This enumeration value should not be used in a Submit/Upload File request, but it is possible that this value may get returned in a response if the purpose of the file is not known.
