One of our manufacturing sites has posed a question regarding return to vendor options when receiving damaged or defective material. Our current process, which I believe is the standard process in SAP, is to receive the full quantity even if part of it is defective. Because we use quality management, the material is received in quality inspection and an inspection lot is created. A usage decision must then be made to accept or reject all or part of the material. Once the defective material has been rejected by usage decision, then a return to vendor posting is done and the defective material is returned to the supplier. This obviously provides the necessary record in SAP for vendor evaluation purposes.
Our manufacturing site is asking if there is a way to reject the defective material at time of receipt, keeping only the usable material, and still record the rejection of the bad portion in SAP. My contention is that this is not possible, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas on it. For background purposes, this is a 4.6C system. The site in question is WM and handling unit managed, so all stock movements are by inbound and outbound delivery. I appreciate any insights on this topic from other members.
