For businesses wishing to become Manual Return Points, the most frequently asked questions revolve around where to begin the application process and what steps to follow after submitting the application.
For businesses new to the Deposit Management System, the application process may seem complicated at first glance. Questions may arise regarding which system to log into, how to create a business registration, when to add the company role, and at what stage the DSYS operator becomes involved in the process.
This article provides a step-by-step, easy-to-understand guide to the Manual Return Point application process, from start to operation.
For businesses wishing to become a Manual Return Point, the first step is to initiate the application process through the Deposit Information Management System.
The starting point for the application process is:
The procedures carried out through the Deposit Information Management System form the basis of the official application process required for the business to be included in the Deposit Management System.
In short: The application to become a Manual Refund Point is first initiated through the Deposit Information Management System. In the initial stage, no direct application is made to a DSYS operator.
After logging into the Deposit Information Management System, a user account is created and the business’s information is entered into the system.
It is important for the business to be registered in the system with accurate and up-to-date information to ensure that subsequent processes are carried out smoothly.
For businesses that already have an account in the Deposit Information Management System, the necessary processes are carried out through the existing account. In this case, it may not be necessary to create a new user account.
After the user account is created, a company role is defined to determine the scope of the business’s activities within the system.
The role suitable for the business is selected via the “Add Company Role” section in the Deposit Information Management System.
This process is carried out by a user account with the necessary permissions within the system.
A business wishing to operate as a Manual Return Point must be designated as such within the system.
Therefore, simply having a user account in the Deposit Information Management System does not mean that the business automatically gains Manual Return Point status.
Once the required business role for the company has been defined, the process for applying for a Manual Return Point begins.
At this stage, an application is created for the company to operate as a return point.
The status of the application and whether any required actions are pending within the process are tracked through the Deposit Information Management System.

One of the most commonly confused topics in the Manual Return Point application process is the difference between the Deposit Information Management System and the DSYS operator.
These two entities represent different processes:
Deposit Information Management System → System registration and application procedures
DSYS operator → Execution of field operations
The Deposit Information Management System is the platform through which a business joins the system and application processes are managed.
The DSYS operator, on the other hand, comes into play in the process related to the on-site execution of return point operations.
Therefore, the Manual Return Point process is not limited to simply submitting an application through the Deposit Information Management System. The process for how on-site operations will be carried out following the application is also planned.
At the relevant stage of the application process, the business must work with a DSYS operator to carry out its field operations.
It is important to note that the selection of an operator is not a separate application that replaces the Deposit Information Management System application.
The process generally proceeds as follows: first, the company’s return point process is initiated through the Deposit Information Management System, and then the process is advanced with a suitable DSYS operator to carry out field operations.
In evaluating operators, factors such as operational capabilities in the company’s region, the process for accepting packaging, and the operational support provided are taken into account.
Once a Manual Return Point application has been created, the process is not complete simply by submitting the application.
Once the business’s application and related approval processes are complete, the field operations phase begins.
The general process can be summarized as follows:
Application → Approval → Planning of field operations with the operator → Acceptance of packaging → Execution of field operations
The procedures to be followed may vary depending on the business’s application status, its status in the system, and the relevant field operations.
To ensure the Manual Return Point application proceeds smoothly, certain key points should be considered.
The business’s information is entered into the system completely and up-to-date. It is important to keep in mind that incorrect or incomplete information may cause issues during the application process.
The business role appropriate for the business’s area of operation must be defined. Selecting the wrong role may require additional steps in subsequent stages of the process.
After the application is submitted, its current stage in the process is tracked through the Deposit Information Management System. If the system requests any additional steps or updates, the relevant actions are completed.
Since the facility operates as a Manual Return Point, it is necessary to accept packaging and carry out field operations. Therefore, planning the operator’s process after the application is submitted ensures that operations proceed more smoothly.
