return unrestricted stock to vendor

Dear gurus,

Our issue is as follows:

GR is done for a line item in PO. Inspection lot is generated and this material goes to quality stock. The material is then moved to unrestricted stock. The status of the inspection lot is REL, CALC and SPCO. In stock overview the material is in unrestricted stock.

Now we do not want to use this material. We have to return it to the vendor. Can anybody tell me how to return the material to the vendor in this case?

Thank in advance,

Ram

Since your stock is already cleared from Quality inspection and now lying in Unrestricted

Stock you can follow following procedure to return the vendor stock.

Go to MIGO->Good Issue>Other->Movement type 122.

Entered the material and stock details & vendor and post the document. It will reduce the stock from unrestricted stock. If you want finical effect of this to vendor account then in addition to this you need to created FI document in Tcode.F-43 which will raise the debit note to vendor.

There is another away when the material is in quality stock, while doing Usage Decision in stock posting there is filed for vendor return Qty if you entered in this then this will post both inventory as well as vendor posting in FI.

Dear Ajay,

I tried as you said.

In MIGO movt type 122, I am getting the following error message: Deficit of stock in quality inspection.

The stock is presently in unrestricted stock. So I may be getting this message. Any more inputs from any one please.

Dear Ajay,

I could return the stock to the vendor though I could not cancel the lot. Thanks for your response. Sorry for closing the thread so late. I am giving you full points.

Hi Ajay,

How should we address financially in SAP if the vendor is the one raised to credit note to us?

Create a Q2 notification. In standard SAP there is an action box for creating a return delivery.

You can also so this manually and your purchasing personnel/consultant should know how to create a return delivery order.

Hi,

In QA32, 3rd tab page select Return delivery to vendor. It is the last field in the screen.

Enter the qty return delivery to vendor.

System will take 121 mvt. From materials dept they will send that material to vendor.

Hi Dharma,

You said "In QA32, 3rd tab page select Return delivery to vendor. It is the last field in the screen." I do not find any tab pages in QA32. Can you please tell in detail?

Hi,

Goto QA32, input your material. Execute.

System will show all the inspection lot created for this material.

Select your lot, goto Usage decision.

In 3rd tab page Inspection lot, in down side you can find Return delivery to vendor.

You can not return stock to the vendor via the UD stock posting screen once the material is posted to unrestricted inventory.

As I said in my previous posting above, you must create a return order.

You can use a Q1 notification and use the "Create Return Delivery" action box.

Dear Craig,

I am trying to create a Q2 notification.

In the action box Create return delivery is inactive. Alongwith this Transfer post. blocked to Unres, Create transfer order, Scrapping and Create return delivery are also inactive. I find Transfer post Unrestricted to Inps active.

How to create a return delivery now? Please help me out.

TIA,

Ram

Some of the Q2 action boxes are meant to be done in order, so that you can't do one, until the previous one has been done.

Dd you have a "Posting transfer unres. to blocked" action available? If so, perform this first, then the create delivery action box should be available.

Dear Craig,

when I do the return delivery through the notification, the quantity is going to blocked stock. The material quantity is still in MMBE in blocked stock. Also the inspection lot is not getting cancelled.

Dear Ajay,

When I do it through MIGO, movt type 122, and stock type Unrestricted, the stock in MMBE is becoming zero. But even in that case, the inspection lot is not getting cancelled.

Need further help.

TIA,

Ram

You cannot cancel the inspection lot if that is your objective. Once the inspection lot is created, you must process it under most conditions. You can sometimes reverse/cancel the original material document that created the insp. lot which can result in an inspection lot of CANC status.

You need to specify EXACTLY what your attempting to do. You indicated you wanted to return material to a vendor. You didn't mention cancelling the inspection lot, this implies you want to reverse the receipt. There is a big difference. Returning products to vendors is a normal part of business.

Have you completed processing the return delivery? This is a shipping process now to be performed by your shipping department. Just like they are shipping product to a customer, only in this case its back to your vendor. The material should remain in blocked stock until the delvivery is PGI'd.
