Excise Documents in case of Return Process

Question

Hello All,
   I am following the below process for Return to Depot from customer, please correct me if I am wrong;
1) Create Return Order (RE)
2) Create Return Delivery and PGI
3) Transfer Posting from Return stock to Own (MB1B)
4) Excise Invoice at Depot (J1IG - for the material document generated)
5) Create Billing Document
Now for Plant to Depot Returns (Return STO), I am following this process;
A) Create STO with Return Indicator (ME21N)
B) Create outbound Delivery document (VL10B)
C) Create Goods Receipt (MIGO - Mvt Type 161)
D) PGI Outbound Delivery
The following questions arise;
1) Is the above process that I am following correct?
2) When and how should I create excise documents for the Plant to Depot Return
3) In the first case, I have only updated RG23D with J1IG, Should I also do a J1IJ? if so is it for which delivery documnet, created during case 2) or for the one in case B)?
Many Thanks
Raj

Ideal way of Excise Entries incase of return may not be cancelling Excise Invoice through J1IIN, as it may be possible that through Excise Invoice, say 10 Quantity was despatched & Return is only 2 quantity.
The Option widely used is as under:
Incase of Return Sales Order:
T.Code for copy control: VTAF
Source Document: F2
Target Document: RE
Item category REN
Considering the above settings are done:
Create return sales order RE (with Reference to Billing Document) & the data will be copied as it is in Return Sales Order - RE. For Eg: here you require to change to quantity from 10 to 2, as you want to take back into Inventory of only 2.
Incase of Return Delivery:
T.Code for copy control: VTLA
Source Document: RE
Target Document: LR
Item category REN
Considering the above settings are done:
Create Return Delivery through T.Code VL01N & do PGR (Post Goods Receipt). This will add the stock to blocked stock. This will take care of Inventory.
To address the issue of how to take Credit for Excise, use T.Code: J1IH --> other Adjustment & based on the credit to be taken, make the necessary entry.
Incase of Credit Memo:
T.Code for copy control: VTFA
Source Document: RE
Target Document: Credit Memo
Item category G2N (Check in System)
First in VA02, remove the Billing Block in Return Sales Order - RE & save the document. Now in T.Code: VF01, enter Return Sales Order Number & select the appropriate Billing Type (Credit Memo) & Enter& Save. This will create Credit Memo.
Hope this helps you.
