Answer 1

Hello,
*1) Scenario: SG10 Buy from TH10 (different Comp Code) -- No issue.*
>> In this case your vendor/supplying plant will be TH10 and recieving plant will be SG10, and this seems to be work correctly
*2) Scenario: SG10 Returns to TH10 -- is now concern.*
>> In this case also, Vendor/suplying plant will be TH10 and recieving plant has to be SG10 , RETURN indicator should be ticked in item over, so that delivery address becomes of your vendor/supplying plant i.e. TH10
1) What is the impact if I assign the Customer in Vendor Account Control ?? How it will help for Return Process.
>>When you are carrying out returns from plant through delivery, you must enter the internal customer for the returns delivery and the sales area for the returns processing. Also make sure that you also maintained customer master record for SG10 and TH10 respectively, with all details such as sales organisation, sales area, etc..and also maintained Vendor number Vice versa.
Your plants SG10 & TH10 must be viewed here as the ordering plant, or the returning plant in the case of returns orders in the internal tables.You maintain this setting
SPRO>>Materials Management>>Purchasing>>Purchase Order>>Set Up Stock Transport Order>>Assign delivery type/checking rule.
Make sure you have assigned assigned the company-code-internal and cross-company-code delivery type and checking rule to the supplying plant
Make sure you have maintained the purchase order type for the combination supplying/receiving plant.
SPRO >>Materials Management>>Purchasing>>Purchase Order>>Set Up Stock Transport Order>>Purchasing document type.
2) Where is the Return Tick to be done in Vendor Master ?
>>You can find RETURN tick in vendor master under Purchasing Data , whcih you maintained for your vendor. You must tick the check box and return vendor in your case will TH10 itself.
3) In Vendor Master --> Extras --> Add Plant .....If I remove the plant here no delivery is created for STO during VL10B.>> You maintained plant assignment field here so that stock transport order functioning. To create delivery you need to assign the supplying plant to a vendor. i.e. in your case SG10 must be maintained as vendor and plant assignment filed must have entry as SG10. Similary for TH10 , it must be maintained as vendor and also plant assignment filed in purchasing data must be TH10.
Note :
I suggest In addition to above please check this RETURN STO settings once again
Assigning return to Vendor undr following path:
SPRO>>Materials Management>> Purchasing>>Purchase Order>>Returns Order>>Returns to Vendor.
Make sure you have assigned the vendor returns delivery type to the plant returning the delivery under following path
SAP MENU Bar >>Logistics>>Purchasing>>Master Data>>Vendor>>Purchasing>>Change (Current).
Now select the relevant vendor.
Choose Go To>>Purchasing org. data>>Purchasing data. Make sure here that in Control data area, set the "Returns with shipping processing" indicator.
Note : With  you can assign a customer number with a sales area. This customer is used as the goods recipient in the returns delivery.
Also define partner determination procedure.
SPRO>>Logistics ExecutioN>>Shipping>>Basic Shipping Functions>>Partners>>Partner Control>>Define and Assign Partner Determination Procedures.  Now select the Delivery field choose Goto>>Partner Determination Procedures.
Choose Goto >> Procedure Assignment. Here you can find assign the procedure LO to the delivery type RL.
Once all this is done the system automatically enters the goods recipient in the delivery when it is created from a returns delivery.
