# Completing a Return Merchandise Authorization \(RMA\) response order for defective Device as a Service \(DaaS\) assets

After you create an RMA response order with corresponding RMA response order lines, you must perform various tasks to complete and close the order.

Based on the action that you want to take on your defective DaaS assets, you must complete a specific set of tasks for each RMA response order line within an RMA response order. After you complete all tasks for an order line, it moves to the Completed stage. After every order line reaches the Completed stage, the order is closed.
