free-of-charge subsequent delivery

Hi experts,

"If the customer is to receive replacement goods, do not create a credit memo. You can enter a reason for rejection for the appropriate items in the return. You then create a free of charge subsequent delivery with reference to the return in order to send the replacement goods to the customer. "

(It comes from SAP help

http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/70/a7853478616434e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm).

Got some questions about the above. Pls help to solve. Thx.

Q1: Does the process match SAP statement above, sales order -> outbound delivery -> invoice -> return order (to be rejected after PGR for return delivery) - return delivery (PGR) - free of charge subsequent delivery (to be created with reference to return order) - delivery (no invoce to be created)?

Q2: If the process is correct, how can the financial balance the value of returned goods, sales cost? Is it through the replacement goods? In my previous understanding, it's the must to create credit memo because return delivery has PGR.

Q3: What order type is used for free of charge subsequent delivery? It seems SAP help mentions FD while some one mentions SD.

Process flow should be sales order -> outbound delivery -> invoice -> return order (to be rejected after PGR for return delivery) - return delivery (PGR)

Then w r to the sales return order : create sunsequent free of charge delivery

> Q2: If the process is correct, how can the financial balance the value of returned goods, sales cost? Is it through the replacement goods? In my previous understanding, it's the must to create credit memo because return delivery has PGR.

after PGR , credit memo may not be created w r to returns order as we are going to give him free fo charge delivery.

Step 1 would also ahve reference of returns order while giving free fo charge delivery

> Q3: What order type is used for free of charge subsequent delivery? It seems SAP help mentions FD while some one mentions SD.

SD is order type for subsequent free of charge delivery ( where reference document is must) wheareas FD is free of charge deliverey where refernce doc optional.

Hope this sorts out quereis. Pls rwd points if helpful

Hi Chandresh,

First of all, many thanks for your valuable advice. I want to double confirm two things.

One, should delivery be created against free-of-charge subsequent delivery finally? The other, is free-of-charge subsequent delivery created with reference to return order?

Hi Cathy,

>Q1: Does the process match SAP statement above, sales order -> outbound delivery -> invoice -> return order (to be rejected after PGR for return delivery) - return delivery (PGR) - free of charge subsequent delivery (to be created with reference to return order) - delivery (no invoce to be created)?

> (to be rejected after PGR for return delivery) -

What does this mean???

Std Process is

Sales Order - Delivery - Invoice - Return Sales Order (wrt sales order / billing document) - Return Del. (wrt Return Sales order ) - PGR - Credit Memo wrt Return Sales Order

OR (If not to create credit memo)

Free Of Charge Sub. Deli. Doc. (which is sales doc.) wrt Return Sales Order / Original Sales Order - Standard Deli.(LF) - Proforma Invoice

>Q2: If the process is correct, how can the financial balance the value of returned goods, sales cost? Is it through the replacement goods? In my previous understanding, it's the must to create credit memo because return delivery has PGR.

It is not must to create credit memo unless the customer has asked for.

Eg. if you have sold material worth Rs. 100/-, invoice is created. Here customer a/c is debited. Now, you do return sales order - return delivey. Till return delivery, no accounting posting take place as far as customer is concerned. (Material doc is created after PGR and then a/c doc is created where cost of goods is posted) So after PGR, if the cust wants, either you can create Credit Memo where you return the money (in this case Rs.100) to customer that he has already paid or you deliver the material free of charge.

Only in case of Credit Memo, accounting takes place where customer a/c is credited. So there is reverse posting

For free of charge del. there is no accounting posting taken place

>Q3: What order type is used for free of charge subsequent delivery? It seems SAP help mentions FD while some one mentions SD.

Both these Sales Doc. types are available in Std SAP system

SD - is used for Subsequent Delivery Free of Charge that is created wrt Return Sales Order / Billing Document

FD - is used when you want to give any free sample to the customer. Therefore it does not have any reference

Hope you get some inputs

Yes. You are right. You must create delivery doc. wrt Sub Free of Charge delivery doc. Std delivery type LF is used for the same.

>The other, is free-of-charge subsequent delivery created with reference to return order?

Yes. You are right again. Free-of-charge subsequent delivery is created with reference to return order. However, it is not mandatory

Sagar

Hi Sagar,

I quote some statements from SAP help in my first thread because I have questions about that. To clear it, I draft the order process. Now, I want further clarification.

Q4: Since subsequent delivery is free of charge, why proforma invoice need to create? It's optional, right?

Q5: If free-of-charge subseuquent delivery is needed, is return order just rejected after return delivery has PGR?

Yes, you are right. It is very much optional.

> Q5: If free-of-charge subseuquent delivery is needed, is return order just rejected after return delivery has PGR?

It is the order reason and not the reason for rejection that we enter in Return Sales Order. So that we come to know the reason for taking material back. It is done so for future reference and again it is not compulsory but recommended.

An order is rejected when you dont want to process it further.

Hope you are clear now

regards,

Sagar

Dear all,

Is there any way to post into CO (not PA) a FoC document, w/o reference to any Sales Document but a Service order in a replacement process (in example)?
