Regarding Return Process for STPO

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I need to map a return scenario for the STPO Process following is the existing procss of STPO

1) In case of STPO in my clients case we have mapped some plants as manufacturing plants and the other plants are mapped as godowns/plants in SAP but these are not manufacturing plants for stock transfer purpose.

2) Stocks always move from the Manufacturing Plant to the Godowns in case of Normal STPO Process

3) A purchase order(me21n stpo order) is raised by the Godown on the Manufacturing Plant.

4) Once this purchase order is created the same is saved followed by creation of Outbound Delivery VL10B by the manufacturing Plant to the Godown

5) Once Outbound Delivery(tcodevl10b) is created the same is followed by picking insertion of serial number profiles packing post goods issue followed by creation of proforma excise invoice and excise invoice by the manufacturing plant since goods are moving out of the factory an excise invoice needs to be created for the same.

6) On this is done the Post goods Receipt(tcode Migo) ( is done without capturing of excise invoice) is done by the Godown to show that they have recieved the stocks however since in the godowns SAP is not implemented the same is done by the manufacturing plant itself which shows that the godown has recieved the goods.

7) Once the Godown sells this stock to the customer the same is not mapped in SAP in my clients case but captured in some different software system

😎 In case if the customer returns goods to the Godowns for say any purpose the same will be captured in the different software system,once the godown returns this stock to the Manufacturing Plant back how can this process returns from godown to the Manufacturing Plant be mapped in SAP.

Hi,

You can create a Return delivery Order and then a retuen delivery with refernce to the delivery document created

alternately a return PO can be created aand material can be returned using the MM process

Reward points if usefull

Hi Akasha,

In our case since the manufacturing plant is creating excise invoice at the time of sending the goods to the godown if godown sends this goods back to the manufacturing plant how can the orginal excise invoice be cancelled or reversed also my client is working in the SAP 4.7 Version.Please explain the same in detail.

How can the return delivery order and the return delivery document be created we are creating the STPO with reference to the Stock Transport Purchase Order using t code me21n.

Regards

Atul

Dear Atul,

You will have to create a new PO type Stock Transfer returns in IMG - MM - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Define Order types

Then in Set us Stock Transfer Order - maintain necessary Shipping Details.

Now in Logistics Execution, maintain Item Category Determination in Deliveries - as NLR - NORM - V - (Blank) - NLRN.

Then create a STPO (Returns) & do the subsequent Processes.

Reward if Useful...

Thanks,

Hi Atul

There are two scenario which are emerging out of above business case:

Scenario1: If the two systems are integerated the information of return can be passed on through IDOCs

Scenario II : Since both the system are not integerated as it appears it means that you will have to again maintain the information at two level as the manuefacturing plant will have to raise the STO on depot again and delivery and billing from depot plant to manuefacturing plant within SAP

Please confirm what can be the issue in raising the STO by mfg plant on depot
