Return to vendor options at time of receipt

One of our manufacturing sites has posed a question regarding return to vendor options when receiving damaged or defective material. Our current process, which I believe is the standard process in SAP, is to receive the full quantity even if part of it is defective. Because we use quality management, the material is received in quality inspection and an inspection lot is created. A usage decision must then be made to accept or reject all or part of the material. Once the defective material has been rejected by usage decision, then a return to vendor posting is done and the defective material is returned to the supplier. This obviously provides the necessary record in SAP for vendor evaluation purposes.
Our manufacturing site is asking if there is a way to reject the defective material at time of receipt, keeping only the usable material, and still record the rejection of the bad portion in SAP. My contention is that this is not possible, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas on it. For background purposes, this is a 4.6C system.  The site in question is WM and handling unit managed, so all stock movements are by inbound and outbound delivery. I appreciate any insights on this topic from other members.

Hi,
What about GR blocked stock? Wouldn't it fit your sceanrio?

  • Vendor tracking at time of receipt

    How can I track the quantity received against a purchase order for a particular vendor for raw materials? User wants to be able to view stock in LS24 and know that the the qty in a bin and visibility to who that vendor was.
    We do not have SUM active.  Can the batch field be used without really activating batch management?  other options?
    Once stock goes to production floor then visiblity gone but while in warehouse they want the visibility because if quality issue found and certain vendor is in question then they can view the stock and know which to pull to return.

    in that case use the batch after activating the batch in mateirl mastrer
    you don;t need to activate every thing in the batch management.
    otherwise use split valuation
    it depends how the client wants to go

  • Return to vendor Error - Document flow for delivery cannot be updated

    Hi Expert,
    we have a issue - can't post "return to vedor"  by MIGO.
    The steps are following:
    1. It is an STO between 2 plant within different company code;
        But the planner wrongly set this STO as CONFIRMATION KEY REQUIRED.
    2. The issuing plant didn't create the outbound delivery for this STO. And at the same time, the receiving plant directly post the Good Receipt for this STO by creating an inbound delivery.
    3. Then we found this error, we decided to reverse this Good receipt, and then ask the issuing plant to open an outbound delivery, and the receiving plant post good receipt for the outbound delivery.
    We met error when we tried to use 122 - return to vendor:
    Document flow for delivery cannot be updated
    Message no. M7352
    Diagnosis
    Purchase order 753486 is assigned to a delivery. The current transaction cannot update the document flow for this delivery, because the system does not recognize the delivery number.
    System response
    When you post this goods movement, the document flow is not updated in the delivery. This can lead to problems later on when you process the delivery.
    Procedure
    You can post the goods movement using transactions MB0A or MIGO (Goods receipt for a delivery) after you enter the delivery number.
    If you are currently posting a cancellation, a return delivery, or a subsequent delivery for the material document, it is not possible to enter the delivery number.
    Procedure for System Administration
    See SAP note 361014: Message M7 352: What does it mean?
    Please advice,
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately, when I use MB0A and I input the delivery number under Find POs for Preceeding Document, it errors out as well as the delivery does not exist.
    Any other option to reverse the GR?

  • Material return to vendor ( line rejection)

    Dear MM gurus,
    i have a scenario where material received is accepted at the time of Quality inspection. Same material issued to production but if found faulty has to be returned to vendor. Such line rejection occur daily and at the end of the weak rejection quantity are enough to be sent back to vendor.
    we are using two step process for GR i.e 103 followed by 105. following process does not allow material return through purchase return order i.e 161. creating return delivery via migo with movement type 122 against GRs is not viable as such returns will need reference to around 30 goods receipt for single return delivery creation.
    kindly suggest a solution were return delivery can be created  without reference of GR. Please ask for clarification if information here is insufficient.

  • Return to vendor with multiple ship-to locations

    We are utilizing vendor returns with delivery (movement 161) and for business reasons we purchase material from Vendor A, address 1 but may return material Vendor A, address 1, address 2, or address 3 depending on their instruction to us.
    For awhile we have been utilizing the Delivery Address tab and maintaining address records in MEAN transaction, however that is no longer sufficient for our business.
    We are trying to accomplish this task now through the use of 1 of the following options.  Can anyone think of consequences of doing each of these? Or are there other ideas someone might have?
    1)  Write a copy control requirement that changes the ship-to address on the RL delivery type from the SH partner (which is the customer assigned in the purchasing view of the vendor master next to the Returns Vendor checkbox) to the GS partner from the PO.
           a. Weu2019re not sure if this will even work, but with this option, we feel it allows us to control the ship-to location from the RTV purchase order. 
           b. This option will also allow us to continue any vendor reporting off of the VN partner (ME80FN, MCE3, etc).
    2) Create multiple VN vendor master records, each with the Returns Vendor checkbox and their own customer master.  Link all VNu2019s through the same PI partner (for financial transactions).  Enter RTV purchase orders based on the VN vendor master that contains the correct ship-to address.
           a.This option will work, but for reporting (ME80FN, MCE3, etc) we would have to create variants that include all of the VNu2019s that are linked together through partner determination to make sure we are capturing all volume associated with that vendor (purchases and returns).  These reports donu2019t give a standard option to just report off of a PI partner.
           b.There is human interaction needed to update variants each time a new VN is partnered.
                   i. Does anyone know of a way to update a variant dynamically based on a new partner relationship?

    Hi,
    I need clarification on following process
      user had created returns po and activated the returns column in po.
    in MIGO transaction he had selected the options of goods receipt-purchase order.
      my question is that why should we select above combination.since we are not receiving any goods and more ever we r returning to vendor.
    plz give me complete explanation.

    Hi,
    Again my question is in me21n we are selecting po type  of "RETURNS PO". then y should i consider it as regular purchase order for procuring goods from vendor.
      since po type it self is a returns po. and if i require procurement from vendor i create new po which had specifically meant for purchases.
    plz clarify.

  • Returns to vendor PO with delivery..

    Dear All,
    When we process a return to vendor PO via ME21N , we selects the returns item box tick (Say company code - NZ01)
    Once the warehouse have confirmed the stock has been despatched we have to then create a outbound delivery via VL10B and then go into change outbound VL02N and pick/post goods issue to despatch the stock in SAP.
    But when we use another company code (Say UK01),we do not need to create an outbound delivery we just go into MIGO and post goods receipt the stock and as movement type is 161 it despatches the stock off the system. Is there any reason why first company code are unable to do this, when we tried to do it this way SAP advised the order contained no selectable items?
    Is it due to delivery parameters are linked to the document type?
    Please reply

    Hi,
    This depends on the Return PO Documnet Type and Plant from where materials have been returned. Just check in option SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Returns Order > Returns to Vendor - Here check the Delivery Type "RL" assigned to the combination of PO Doc Type and Supplying Plant.

  • Return to Vendor...negative value preventing completing return (Urgent)

    Hello SAP Experts!
    We are having an issue with Returning to Vendor.  We are on SAP 4.7C. 
    When we are attempting to Return to Vendor (movement type 161), in the PO (ME21N), after entering in the material, quantity, and checking the box for "returns" item, the pet price becomes 0.  We receive a message stating that the net price must be greater than 0.  This only occurs if we check the box for "returns"...if we uncheck it, it works fine. 
    Why is this happening? 
    For example, when we check the box to make this a Return to Vendor PO, the amount is $120.00, but the condition value changed to -$120.00, which is making our net price equal $0.00; and this needs to be greater than $0.  We have a condition type, so we can manually altert the price, however for auditing purposes, we do not want to do that.  How do I fix this?  Is it something I need to look in customizing?...if so, where?
    Points awarded...thank you for your time!
    Best regards,
    WC

    Hi WC,
    I think movement type used will be 122,124.....
    Before you enter a return delivery with reference to a purchase order, you have to determine whether the goods were posted to stock or to consumption, or whether they were posted into goods receipt blocked stock. If you posted the goods to a particular stock type at goods receipt (for example, quality inspection stock), you have to return them from the same stock type.

  • Return To Vendor process

    Hi ,
    Currently the business use two different process for sending parts to Vendor.
    1. First is the standard Sub contracting process where Raw materials is send to vendor ( 541 ) and vendor process the material and sends back ( 543 ) .
    2. Second is where the parts are send to Vendor due to defect ( 541)  and vendor will either send the material back after fixing ( 542 )or will inform to make credit memo if the parts send cannot be fixed . Althougth this process can be done from Return to Vendor process ( 122 ) , but the business had issues with open PO line item for the return part and raising the Credit memo as Vendor may sometime take time to  return the part which may be in months . Also there is no way for the business to know how much of material is lying with vendor at given point of time which is possible by ME20 in this case.
    The material planning is such that it consider the Stock at Vendor for Scope of check and hence for the first process this works out properly as it considers stock qty at Vendor's place  berfore generating PR , but for second process this becomes the issue as it also considers this stock at vendor place and does planning , but it should not coz this is part return to vendor for fixing and will come again not as assembly .
    How best the 2nd process be mapped without the 122 movement and is there any movement type which can take care of the second process and also we can have a seperate MRP planning accordingly .

  • Error while doing Return to vendor (122) against PO through QA11

    While doing Return to vendor (122) against Purchase Order through QA11 we are getting the error as Deficit of PU GR quantity 20,000.000 TH: RPO1010 FCHN 007A.
    Steps we are followed.
    1. Created Purchase for Quantity 20 TH with activation of Unlimited Delivery.(TH Means UOM (Thousand)
    2. GR has taken for 20,000 TH instead of 20 TH because of Unlimited Delivery as activated.
    3. Usage decision as given total Quantity accepted based On Inspection Lot generated at MIGO.
    4. Stock has come to Un-Restricted.
    5. For Short fall of  Purchase Order Quantity Increased the PO qty to 20,020.
    6. For Return to vendor we transfer the stock from Un-restricted to Quality by MB1B Mvt type 322.
    7. While Transfer Inspection Lot has generated.
    8. Based on that Inspection Lot we try to do return to vendor through QA11 against the same Purchase Order.
    While doing the Last step we are getting the above error.
    Pls. Kindly look into this and tell me whether this steps are correct, if correct any settings needs to be done to over come the error or tell the Correct Logic to return the Material.
    Thanks & Regards

    My thoughts on this is that the original PO was for 20TH.  therefore you will only be able to return 20TH against it regardless of what you receipted.  This is because SAP copies from the original PO document for the return and not the GR material document.
    You can try to edit the original PO and increase the amount to 20,020 and try again.  But I don't think you'll be able to edit that since it was fully receipted.
    Your probably going to have to do a return for 20TH and then a separate, stand-alone return for 20,000 TH.
