Returns Process - movement type 161 and 122

[Former Member]

When I do returns process with help of movement type 122 then it picks stock from "blocked stock". But when I do it from movement type 161, it does not pick it from blocked stock. I have checked transaction OMJJ and found no major difference in settings.

I want to pick the stock from blocked stock from returns process. Please let me know the setting?

Hi,

Mvt Type:161

If mvt type 161 is used, then you will prepare a PO for returns and then make a material document for returns.

Mvt Type:122

Here it can be return delivery from Quality Stock, i.e. if you have QM active for your material

or

MIGO-Return Delivery WRT to original material document 101.Here you can specify to return from Blocked Stock at Item Level, provided while recieving goods you have recieved the goods under Blocked Stock

Hi Kapil,

When I do returns process with help of movement type 122 then it picks stock from "blocked stock". But when I do it from movement type 161, it does not pick it from blocked stock. I

KApil what reference document you are giving while return the goods,

1 If you recieved the goods from vendor and but it Unrestricted stock then moment type 122 has to used

2 if you recived the goods in blocked stock (103), then movement type for return has to be 124

This is standard setting for SAP

hi

Steps are as follows

1. Create return purchase order

The return purchase order is exactly the same as standard purchase order except the return flag. Go to transaction ME21N and enter orgnization info, material, vendor and tick the return flag.

2. Review requirements

Reviewing stock requirements will help determine timing/urgency for allowing normal process to replenish returned items or whether a PO must be created immediately. Go to transaction MD04, the new created return PO is listed as an MRP element.

3. Create delivery document for Return PO

This step is executed by warehouse clerk and generate delivery note, transfer order for return PO. Go to transaction VL10B and choose create delivery in background. The delivery doc will be created automatically.

4. Picking Confirmation

If the storage location is managed by warehouse, an open transfer order is also created. You need to confirm transfer order before posting good issue. There are two methods to confirm transfer order. Go to transaction LT21 and choose Transfer Order -> Confirm -> Transfer Order. The other method is VL06. On the Delivery Monitor screen, select For Confirmation button. Choose confirm in the background.

5. Post Goods Issue

Go to transaction VL02N, enter delivery number and press Enter key. On the next screen, choose Post Goods Issue button. After the good issue has been posted, the quantity of stock has been decreased. The return MRP element in step 2 is also removed in MD04.

6. Manual Review of Pending Credits

Go transaction ME2L, enter plant, purchasing organization and choose RECHNUNG for Selection parameters. A list of open invoices including a list of items where the invoiced quantity is less than zero (Credit return) is reviewed.

7. Create Credit Memo

Create a credit memo to vendor which relieves the liability to the vendor. Go to transaction MIRO and enter necessary information to create a credit memo. You can choose simualte button to check whether the error messages exist in the credit memo.

Hi all,

thanks for the response. But my qury i still not resolved. My process is as follows:

1. Create return PO using ME21N (at item level, returns flag is checked).

2. Create outbound Delivery using VL10B. My probklem starts here. The material is in "Blocked Stock" (in MMBE). The outbound delivery is created for 0 quanity. and not for the quantity mentioned in PO. There is field in "Adminstration tab" in outbound delivery for stock type but it is inactive and I cannot change it.

3. I do GI against outbound Delivery using VL02N. But as the qty is zero, there is no point in doing it..

When I do returns with movement type 122 (doing it against the actual PO against which goods have been received), it picks stock from blocked stock.

I thought this would be function of movment type and hence I was trying to find differnce between thee 2 movement types using tranaction OMJJ. But I did not find any difference as such.

Kindly guide.

Hi,

Please check the Delivery tab in your Po item details.

maintain the stock type as Block Stock & try to create a return delivery using VL10B.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks & Regards,

I tried that also.. But no success..But I found the reason for the problem. The availability was on for delivery item category... And in availability blocked stock is not considerred.
