Hi,

Below is the process flow for returns:

Step 1- Create Sales Order - Transaction code VA01and document type OR

Step 2 - Create Delivery with reference to order - Transaction code Vl01n and document type LF

Step 3 - Create Invoice with reference to delivery - Transaction code VF01 and document type F2

Step 4 - Release the invoice in to accounting. Transaction code is VF02

Step 5 - Create Return Order with refernce to order or invoice - Transaction code VA01 and document type RE

Step 6 - Create Credit for retuns with refernce to return Order - Transaction code VF01 and document type is CR.

Step 7 - Release the the credit for returnsin to accounting. Transaction code is VF02

This is the total process for return.

I think this willc larify your doubt. Any query than please post further.

Hi,

Also please find below the return process with quality:

Return Process for the materials :

Step u2013 1: Before returning the goods (i.e. before creation of return order)

Create master inspection characteristic (if not there):

In QS21

enter ,plant, quantitative indicator,status,upper ,lower limit, wattage ,decimal point save it.

then go to QP01 go for assign the quality plan in that enter material,plant,then enter

give control key go to task list give usage as 5,status as released 4

then go to inspection characteristic quantitative data,MIC,control indicators,catlogs,sample assign all these in the inspection plan save it

material is saved with inspection plan

Than in MM02 quality management view go to inspection setup click on inspection type assign 05 inspection (inspection for other goods receipt) then activate post to inspection type,ins with material spec,insp with task list specification. Check chara, skips allowed, and automatic usage decision then save it.

in inspection type system will show two inspection setup(04,05)

then save it

Step u2013 2:

Give serial number profile in material master record of the respective materials (i.e. 0004) for the respective material if not there.

Than create return order with respect to main order. Save it.

Than create return delivery. Than go to Extras --- Give the required serial numbers.\

Than do Post Goods Receipt.

Than create the return invoice.

Step - 3: After returning

In QA32 lot will be created

Go toQA32 enter plant, material, origin as 5 press F8

Assign inspection plan, sample save it,

Records the results give usage decision, post the stocks in to unrestricted, save it.

Hope this helps you a lot.

Hi All

See there are 2 cases,

1) Complaints

in this scenario, customer is not sending us the goods back so the process stated above works fine.

2) Returns

In this scenario, customer can return

i) either all goods

ii) partial quantity

so whn we create return delivery with respect to order, after that we have to go for PGR(inward movement of goods) after that we go for quality inspection Qe32( here we give give comments for return) and after this we go for credit memo with respect to order.

In pharma industry qe32 is not given GAP compliance so we use qe51 and rest process is same.

please keep in mind, for returns we can have further 3 scenarios

1) whole batch stock is defected

2) only customer order was defected

3) customer order stock is reusable

according to above scenarios we have to decide process flow further.

Hope this helps.

Dear SRK,

Whenever customer returns any product, we can not directly sale it again. We take that materials back into our inventory but for QI i.e Quality inspection. Then Quality team inspects the goods and approve that the Goods can be resale or has to be scrapped.

This is basically done by QA32 t-code and a QM consultatnt do this. After Approval we do logical stock posting and then that stocks again came to unrestricted stock.

Thanks,

Hi,

It depends on your movement type you have assigned in scheduline category.

The scheduline category for return is DN. Inside that what movement type it is there.

- Blocked stock returns (non-valuated, not unrestricted-use) (movement type 651)

- Unrestricted-use stock (movement type 653)

- Quality inspection stock (movement type 655)

- Blocked stock (movement type 657)

Based on movement type the return goods will move to respective stock.

If inside DN you have assigned 655 movement type that it will go to quality stock.

Hope it will helps you.

Regards
