Cross Company Return With Delivery

Question

Hi friends,
I am trying to setup a return process with delivery between two companies using two-step procedure.
Currently Company A purchases products from Company B with a PO document copied from standart PO document NB.
When saving the PO a delivery is created automatically. (we use automatic delivery creation but it is optional indeed)
Supplying plant, here the company A, makes goods issue using VL02N.
Receiving plant, here the company B, then makes the goods receipt against outbound delivery using MIGO.
The delivery type used here is copied from the standart delivery type NLCC and the delivery item is copied from standart delivery item NLC. This is the forward process.
The movement types here are 643 (GI from supplying plant), 101 (GR to the receiving plant)
In fact I made the return process with a one-step procedure.
I assigned a return delivery type, copied from standart delivery type NRC, to the PO document in customizing returns to vendor.
And then I made the automatic delivery creation customizing for the PO document within related shipping point.
After customizing steps completed I tested the process.
When I save the PO, the delivery is created automatically with type NRC.
In transaction VL02N, I see the "Save Goods Receipt" button because this is one-step.
The goods receipt and and goods issues takes place at the same time in the same document  when I push that button.
The movement types are 675 (GR to the supplying plant, A), 161 (GI from receiving plant, B)
Here my question is to realize this return process with two step.
What steps should I follow to make this change? What can be missing?
Is it obligatory to check the "return item indicator" in return PO?
Related threads are helpful but I didn't understand which movement types should be used in two step procedure and how and where can I determine that?
Below link says the two step procedure should be done with 673 but

How can I set this up?
Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

Hi again friends,
I found the answer to that question.
The customizing that below path shows how the movement types are determined during VL02N.
IMG -> Sales and Distribution -> Sales  -> Sales Document -> Schedule Lines -> Define Schedule Line Categories.
In my question, existing movement type has been set  as 675 for "Movement Type 1-Step" field in related schedule line category, which is assigned to delivery item used.
(Delivery item is also assigned to delivery type)
In same customizing, also there is a field named "Movement Type" just upside of the previously mentioned field. It has been also set as 675.
Changing this "Movement Type" field, I mean upper one, to 673, the process becomes two step.
That's it, everything works fine.
However, this change may affect many processes using the same schedule line category.
That means, if you copy the existing delivery schedule lin category, you'll need a new delivery item, and a new delivery type to use, for your system not to be affected.
Thank you.
