Return Item Category??

Hello Friends,
I am workind on issue which has order type ZBSR (voucher). There is only 1 return itrm category which returns the stock into unrestricked use immediately. I need to configure a new item category which mirrors the original SAP return item category, which will post the returned quantity into return stock first (instead unrestricted stock) ,
Could you please explain how can process this issue. Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

hi,
The item category does not decide the movement type.
You attach a schedule line to your item category. The configuration for schedule line category is done in VOV6.
If you go through schedule line configuration, you will see a field call movement type. Here you need to enter the movement type which will transfer the material to inspection stock/ return stock.
If you go to VOV5 and check your item category - you will be able to see a schedule line attached to it. Note the schedule line and go to VOV6 and check the properties of this schedule line category. If you see there, you can see the movement type as 631..which is sending materials to unrestricted stock. Change it here to a different movement type as per your business requirement and save it.
now if you run your returns order, the stock will not go to unrestricted stock.
thanks

BAPI will give you the sales order number only, it it is success . it will not return any item category back. if you want to know what is the item category you have all the information with you. if the sales order created successfully then you can use SALES_ITEMS_IN-ITEM_CATEG .

Hi all.. what is the item category for third party returns

Please also include a brief about third party returns procedure
thanks
adi

Hi,
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. The standard sales order automatically creates a purchase requisition for the materials to be delivered by the third-party vendor.
In this scenario, the vendor sends a shipping notification. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor.
<b>If the customer does not accept</b> the delivered goods from the third party vendor, the customer disposes of the goods. A credit memo is issued to the customer reversing the revenue and cost of goods sold. Then a MM credit memo is created for the third party vendor. A statistical goods receipt reversal is performed for the goods in order to close out the original purchase order. The vendor credit memo may initially be blocked for payment, if previous agreement for this with vendor exists.
And REN would be returns item category. But you can always have your own cutomized item category if there are any special requirments from the business.
Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
Thanks & Regards

How to restrict free goods determination based on item category

Hi All,
We have a process where when goods for a sales order are returned , we add a line item to same sales order with a return item category.
The issue is we have free goods determination activated for this document type and it works even for the returns item added to this order latter, whereas we don't want free goods determination to work for the returns item.
Can anyone please advise how this can be achieved.

Hi,
I can think of one of the probable solution for your requirement.
Your need to create new condition table with item Category as one of the key combination. I think you need to update the item category in field catalog as well as in Doc Structures. Then maintain free goods condition record all the item categories except for the Return item category. This way you can exclude free goods activation for return items.
Note : If the number of active item categories are more then it may be difficult to maintain condition records for the item categories.
Hope this will help

Return of Free goods item - Problem in item category

I am trying to create return order of Free sample billing
(ZFDP). The return order type for the free sample is ZFDR.
We have specified Item category for the ZFDR is RENN (Free good item) in IMG Activity -> Assign Item categories.
When I create order and save it, it prompts me to enter G/L Account.
This material is free. It should not prompt G/L Account for it. There is no revenue recognition specified for the item category. I tried changing item category to ZKLN i.e Free of charge item. This item category does not prompt for G/L Account while creating order. but I can not use this item category because it prompts me for Avialability. I can not remove the Avaialabilty check for it because the same item category is used in the Free sample order where availability check is required
In ZFDP order type, we are issuing 100% discount by using R100
discount condition. Please let me know how can I solve this problem.
I think there is some problem in my item category itself. .
My setting for Item category in IMG - Define item category is
same for both ZKLN and RENN. Only difference is RENN has returns
tick and pricing field is blank. In ZKLN pricing is defined as B- 100%
discount. I also tried changing the pricing option of RENN to B.
But still it is asking for G/L Account.
I can not use ZKLN instead of RENN because my ZKLN is used in the
Free item Sales order.
Please help.

TANN item category item not picking for return sales order

Hi all,
I have a question regarding TANN item category. This TANN item category item is not picking for return sales order type. As far as i know RENN is the free goods for return sales order. Can you please clarify the above question further

Hi
If you are making return order by copying sales order then please see this procedure also.
Try to check in the copy control also.
Go to the following path IMG u2013 Sales and Distribution u2013 Sales u2013 Maintain Copy control for sales documents. (Tcode VTAA)
Select copying control : sales document to sales document.
Search your return delivery order from the reference sales document type.
Then select the item from the left side Colum.
Go and find out TANN item category and click on detail.
Check out Item Cat proposal. If it is empty then type your RENN condition type over here.
Now try to create the return sales order it might work.

Item Category for returns order and delivery

Hi,
We are using BOM. As we know basing on the Item cat group ERLA, LUMF there are 4 different item categories TAQ,TAE,TAP,TAN respectively for main item and sub items. Now my business wants to do return process for a BOM item which has been already delivered and invoiced.
Please could any body tell me what would be the item cat for BOM item in return process?
Is there any SAP standard item cat available for this?
Can we configure an Item cat for the same?
Your quick answer would deffinately appreciated.
Regards,
Revan.

Hi Revan,
In standard procedure there is no item Category assigned for the returns of ERLA or LUMF material. You may have to define new Item category similar to REN but with the structurescope defined as 'A' or 'B' as per the requirement.

Karthik.

Return Sales order - update of Item category change

Hi
We are creating the Return Sales order with respective original sales order.
After copying the line item details in to return sales order, we are not able to change item category to another. Since item category is in display mode(grayed out).
We tried with
1.Transaction varant, it is not helpful.
2.Maintained the item category which is required in item category determination(Manual entries)
Though we are able to change the item catgory in the sales order through some user exit, price condition are in active status. we are doing price update, but still condition types are still in-active.
Please help, how to change the item cateogry and to redetermine the price based on the item category in sales order.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh.

Then how do you settle it with the customer? He has still paid for the original materials and has returned some or all of them. He is still going to be invoiced for the full quantity. There should be some way to either replace the materials or give him a credit memo
but coming to Gunda's query, the only way I see to map this is to create a different order type ZRE which is a copy of RE and item category ZREN which is a copy of REN. In ZREN, turn on Pricing. Maintain copy controls from OR to ZRE and keep the pricing condition type Manual. Then whenever the business decides not to give the customer a refund, go to the item conditions, set the pricing condition value to 0 and save the order

Item category in a return order

Hi Gurus,
The scenario is like : We created the sales order and completed the Goods Issue and then the invoicing for the sales order. When a return order is created, (return giving reference to the original sales order), can anybody please tell me how the item category in returns order is determined.
We have checked the item category assignment in SPRO, but couldnt get the link between the original sales order attributes and the return order item category.
Any help in this regard would be of help to us.
Regards,
Krishna Mohan

Hi Krishna
In standard SAP, "Return order(RE)" can be created either with reference to "Billing document" OR "Sales order" and there is no Madatory reference for Return order (RE).
Therefore, Return order can be created without any reference also ,in standard system.
In Copy control (VTAA), you can find OR to RE as source and target document pair.
Similarly, in copy control (VTAF), you can find F2 to RE as source and target document pair.
If it is required in your organisation, then you can mark "reference mandatory" for Return order (RE).
When you create a Return order(RE) with reference to Sales order(OR),in Copy control (VTAA), no Item category has been proposed for the Target document RE, therefore it is determined from the assignment in the customisation ,as below.
Sales doc type + Item category group + Item usage(if any) + Item category of higher level item(if exists) = Item category.
e.g, RE + NORM + (blank) + (blank) = REN
If ,you create the Return order(RE) with reference to the Billing document (F2), then in copy control(VTAF) at item level, Item category(REN) has been proposed for the target document, so system copies that to target document RE.
So, as beacuse you are creating the Return order(RE) with reference to the Sales order(OR), you have to check the assignment in customisation as above.
Beside this, "Credit for Return(RE)" is always created with reference to the "Return order(RE)" and NOT with reference to the "Return Delivery(LR)", in standard SAP.
That is why ,if you check the Item category REN, you will find the "Billing relevance" as "B"(Order related Billing docuemnt).
Regards

Condition type FRA1, condition category B and returns item

When a delivery is not accepted and returned, a new purchase order is created where the field returns item flagged.
Conditions like ZPB0 becomes a negative value, but the FRA1 not. In our business it is common not to pay the transport costs if the delivery is denied, even more, we expect a credit note also for the delivery costs.
In the condition FRA1 de condition category = B (delivery costs), which is a must for transaction MIRO.
When negative delivery costs are entered, SAP gives the error message "negative delivery costs not allowed. While expecting a credit note with negative delivery costs, we want to have it this way.
Question: how are other companies dealing with these circumstances? Is it possible -without changing standard SAP- to avoid the error message and be able to proceed?
Any hint or information is highly appreciated, as we see no more options to solve this issue.
Bob

The moment you say it is credit note means you are getting from vendor
so the condition can't be -Ve
All the company geeting creadit by soing this only.
No -Ve condition

Returnable Packing - Sales order maintainance / Item Category determination

Gurus,
I have question about returnable packing regarding sales order entry and item category determination
1) Sales order : Should we do entry of returnable packing in Sales Order as a regular item
Example : The material M1 - 100unites needs returnable packing materials PK1 5 unites.
Therefore in sales order it should be entered as below
M1 - 100unites
PK1 - 5unites
Please commnet.
2) Item category determination should be done at sales document level
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (???) = TAL
Please commnet.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi
Yes Ashish you need to enter the returnable as a separate item in the sales order
For qn no 2 the item categories of higher levelitems can be TAN and TAX
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (blank) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAN) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAX)=TAL
Note returnable packing items are creates as a separate materials with material type as LEIH and item category group as LEIH
How to bring back the returnable packaging stocks to your plant
Creating a Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Create a sales order using order type LA /AT.
Enter the required data on the customer, the returnable packaging, and the plant to which the materials are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order when the materials reach your company.
The system proposes delivery type LR automatically. The transaction is completed by the goods receipt posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.
