Request a return item overrides report

Use this report to audit item-level return rule overrides. It lists SKUs where returns behavior differs from your global settings so you can confirm exceptions, reduce abuse, and align costs.

Endpoint

POST https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/reports/reportRequests?reportType=RETURN_ITEM_OVERRIDES&reportVersion=v1

The request body is optional. When the request is accepted, the API returns a requestId you can use to track status and download the file.

Sample request

Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
WM_QOS.CORRELATION_ID: <guid>

Use a new GUID for each call. Keep the requestId to track status and download the report.
