Return PO Cycle is as following;

1. ME21N - Create a Returns PO (Activate "Returns" indicator for PO line item)

2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Purchase Order (Returns PO) (Here system will hit Mvmt type "161" and you can also select Un-restricted/blocked stock from where you want to return the stock)

3. MIRO - Credit memo w.r.t. Returns PO.

If you are returning with your own freight than you have to activate the shipping funcitnality

Dear Vemulapati,

Before doing vendor return you need to maintain small settings in vendor master,like vndor returns and customer name and shipping conditions.

wothout above settings you canot trigger shipping tab in PO ,if not shipping tab were you return material.

before porceeding you check vendor master and do PO return check mark,and GR or outbound delivery and billing document or miro

Hope this helps you

Hi GUrus,

Thanks so much for the quick replies. The process what you have defined is the one we have for the parts that have material master. What about the scenario in which we do not have material master ( non stock items). We also have cases sonmetimes when we have to return non stock items to the vendor. Please explain

Thanks

Basically, you have two options: send back the goods with reference to the original PO (1) or without any original PO reference (2).

1. You can use MIGO + 122 + material document reference (material document of the original GR > through this material document the return goods movement will be linked to the original PO item)

2. You have to create a new, return PO item (use the return flag indicator) and post GI by mvt 161 in MIGO
