SALES BOM RETURNS PROCESS

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I have recently created some SALES BOMS which carries out pricing and inventory at the component level (LUMF). i am now trying to carry out returns of some of these BOMs but have been getting problems doing so. one error is saying that the item category of the component material connot be determined.

can anyone explain if there is any standard way that SAP handles returns of SALES BOMS if it is allowed at all? Can the configuration steps be given to make this happen, i would like step by step instructions.

Hi,

during sales order

header : OR + LUMF -- TAP

item : OR + Norm + + TAP --- TAN

Config required during returns :

header : RE + LUMF -- should be having a returns item cat at VOV4.

item : RE + Norm+ + (one which you are going to determine above) --- (Component item cat at VOV4)

A product can be returned depending on the business terms and conditions whether its a BOM or a normal product. From a customers perspective its just a product he is buying and can be returned if there is a problem.

thanks sadhu,

I have the config for the order process as you do and for the returns i have

RE+LUMF, , , +TAP

RENORM, ,TAP+REN

with this the copy from invoice (F2) to order (RE) goes through but then the pricing isn't carried out for the component item. I had this all along. what do you think about my config and why do you think the pricing error is occuring?

In copy control for F2 to RE i have set up TAP from F2 to copy to TAP in RE and TAN to copy to REN.
