Status of Goods Return

Hi
How exactly is the status of a Goods return controlled / automatically set by B1?
I.e.: I created a new one based on a GRPO and it has been closed immediately after saving it, automagically. Actually, theses Goods are going back and they will return (reworked) and I planned to do a GRPO then based on the Goods return issued now. However, this will not be possible anymore.
When does B1 close / leave open a Goods Return?
How is a Goods Return usually 'balanced'/closed?
Thanks
Franz

Paul,
This seems not to be entirely correct.
I have several Goods Return that have an open status. This is true for all the documents that are not based on an GRPO or alike, for instance. In these cases when the reworked goods return a GRPO can be based on the Goods Return. However, this seems only to be possible if the Goods Return is not based on any other document.
In my case, the flow of the ggods can not completly followed because B1 automatically closes Goods Retuns that are based on
an other document, i.e. a GRPO.
What I would like to do to completely be able to follow the goods flow in B1:
Purchase Order -> GRPO -> Goods Return -> GRPO
But only these are possible:
Purchase Order -> GRPO -> Goods Return
or:
Goods Return -> GRPO

Goods return

Hello,
I have a question concerning purchasing module:
If I create a goods return from Goods receipt (which is based on a purchase order), does the purchase order status changes from closed to open?
Thank you.
Best regards,

Hi,
Create a goods return from Goods receipt will not change the purchase order status from closed to open.
Only in the newest 8.81 version, you have ability to reopen PO based on this. All old versions will just keep PO closed. You have to recreate PO.
Thanks,

Closing an Open Goods Return Document

Hi to all
We also experienced returning goods that were already paid and were invoiced through A/P reserve invoice (same case with Avelino Fidel - thread on AP Reserve Invoice posted last Apr. 19). In our case, not all items were returned and withholding tax was applied in the original AP reserve invoice.   Refund was given by the supplier.
Original A/P Reserve Invoice - Journal Entry
Þ     Dr. u2013 Goods Received Not yet Invoiced          10,000
Þ     Cr. u2013 Supplier                                                          9,900
Þ     Cr. u2013 Withholding Tax Payable                                    100
Original Goods Receipt PO - Journal Entry
Þ     Dr. u2013 u2013 Supplies, Materials and Parts            10,000
Þ     Cr. u2013 Goods Received Not yet Invoiced                    10,000
Original Outgoing Payment - Journal Entry
Þ     Dr. u2013 BP                               9,900
Þ     Cr. u2013 Bank                                         9,900
In order to transact the returns in SAP, we tried using Goods Return without base document instead of A/P Credit Memo in order to incorporate the tax withheld. (in A/P Credit Memo, tax withheld cannot be applied when there's no base document). Journal entry is as follows:
Þ     Dr. u2013 Goods Received Not yet Invoiced                    5,000
Þ     Cr. u2013 Supplies, Materials and Parts                                     5,000
After Goods Return, we used Bank Reconcilation to close the Goods Return with the following entries:
Þ     Cr. u2013 Goods Received Not yet Invoiced                                 5,000
Þ     Dr. u2013 Supplier                                                        4,950
Þ     Dr. u2013 Withholding Tax Payable                                    50
Þ     Cr. u2013 Supplier                                                                      4,950
Þ     Dr. u2013 Bank                                                            4,950 ( refund from supplier )
When I checked the Goods Return status using Banking -> Bank Statements & Reconciliations, the ap credit memo is no longer in the list. However, when I checked its status using Purchasing A/P -> Goods Return, the document status is still open. Then we tried I tried closing the document through DATA >> CLOSE but an error message appeared: No matching records found u2018G/L Accountsu2019 (OACT) (ODBC-2028)
How can we change the status of the Goods Return Document to closed ? Shouldn't it be automatically closed after doing the bank reconciliation?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Luche
In SAP Business One 2007 there are some new features for closing documents without having to pass them on to the Invoice/Credit Memo. In the case of purchasing documents you can now close the Goods Receipt PO and the Goods Return documents. In order for the system to account for the income or loss as a result of the document not being passed on to a payable document, it looks for the account number marked as Goods Clearing Account in the account determination. If this account number is not filled in you will get the error you saw.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Goods Return or AP Credit Memo Creation if AP Reserve Inv created

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how to create good return or ap credit note if ap reserve invoice is used. GRPO created with reference to ap reserve invoice always closed.
Regards

Hi,
We cannot create neither Goods Returns based on GRPO which is based on A/P Reserve
Invoice, nor Credit Memo based on A/P Reserve Invoice on which GRPO is
based.
To cancel GRPO based on A/P Reserve Invoice, create Goods Returns NOT
based on any document whith exactly the same data as in GRPO that should
be cancelled. Next, Copy this return to AP Credit memo.
If you have created a payment based on AP reserve invoice, cancel it, it should reopen the AP reserve invoice document status in 2007 A. Then you can easily create AP credit memo.
Please try in test environment first.

Goods Return Recipts

Dear All
when we make the customer goods return receipt with movement type 651 this movemet type is not creating any Accounting Document on the document status when we click on the accounting button its giving the message material dose not inculding in the accounting document
But when we change the movement type of return docuemnt from 651 to 601 and processed the goods recipt, sytem is creating automatically, Accounting Document, Profit Center Document, Material ledger.
so please advise how to create these documents with the movement type 651 because movement type 601 is directly updating into the unrestricted used stock.
Please give the soluation for this, its very urgent
Thanks in advance

Hi,
651 mvt type posts goods to Returns stock and company has to take a decision as to what has to be done with the goods i.e transfer to QI or Unrestricted stock.
If transferred to QI, usage decision has to be taken and then either scrap it or Send it to repair / blocked stock or to unrestricted stock.
So returns stock type is only a temporary location to store for further processing so when u go to TC OMWN and OMJJ u will not find any transaction key or account grouping for it hence no material document posted. The transaction key and account modifier would give the g/l's to be hit for any mvt type.
Hope this explains SAP and the reasons behind it.

GRPO cosed without any Goods return or A/P invoice entered

I raise a GRPO and incoming excise invoice. I don't know if we did something but now GRPO status is closed without A/P invoice entered. I also did not enter a Goods return document. How do I know why the status is showing as closed??
And how do i enter A/P invoice now?? Is the only way now is to enter a goods return and enter start from GRPO again??
Thanks.
- Krishna

Hi Prasanna,
I have tried this instead of entering manual journal entries.
1. Created a Goods Return with exact quantities and prices.
2. Created an outgoing excise
3. Manually close the Goods return document
That seems to reverse all the transactions automatically. The only problem I have now is the amount that it is posting is quite different from the amount in the document (Amount in the document is Rs 56000 and amount posted is Rs 85600). I am not sure if it is because of this type of transaction or some other reason. Because if I do a Goods return from the GRPO, it posts the amount correctly.
I tried 2-3 entries, there is no correlation. It is posting very arbitrarily.

Cannot use Landed Cost if GRN PO has partial Goods Return

Dear Experts,
I'm using SAP B1 2005. I met a problem whereby the GRN PO cannot be used in Landed Cost if one of the items has done the Goods Return, eventhough the GRN PO status is still 'Open'.
1) Create GRN PO with 2 items.
2) Goods Return on 1 of the items.
3) Go to Landed Cost, when choose the GRN PO, system prompts an error message: The requested document is closed for Landed Cost.
Is there any way to use Landed Cost on the rest of the items?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Dear Yang,
the only workaround that comes in my mind is:
- return all the goods
-create a new Goods return PO with the items you want to create the landed costs for
- create the landed costs
Another piece of information I can give you is that I could create the Landed Cost on 2007a sp00.

A/P Credit Memo in relation with Goods Return

Dears,
I'm not able to make an A/P Goods Return after Making a Credit Memo.
Because as I have the Credit Memo as a Financial Document, also I want to have a Goods Return as an Inventory Document.
Kindly Advice.
Thanks,
Kerolous Samuel

Dear,
Credit memo is nothing but reversal of total INVOICE.
As you said, you are not able to make goods return,
1) Check stock is available or not.If not revers the consumption entry
2) If you are using QM integration for GRN , system will generate an inspection lot for GRN.So now you need to reverse this inspection lot, so that stock will update in QUALITY STOCK.
Then you can return the stock using MIGO transaction(122 movement type). or
3) Assign the material code in P.O and activate check box as "RETURNS ITEM" and save.
4) Then do GRN using transaction MIGO for this return material.
Kindly check posting dates also for the inventory changes.

Goods Receipt PO, Based on Goods Return, Including Serials

Hi All,
When you received an item to stock from your vendor, and the item was defective,
You should return the item to the vendor using 'Goods Return'.
What should one do in the following case:
Instead of crediting the returned item - the vendor decided to fix the defective part - and resend it to our stock.
The normal procedure, as I know it, would be to copy the 'Goods Return' to a 'Goods Receipt PO'.
However, if the item is managed by serials - The system won't allow me to return the same serial to stock,
and only lets me create a new serial.
If I will type the original serial manually in the 'Goods Receipt PO', the system will simply create a new record in the serial table (assuming duplicated serials are allowed).
What is the correct way to handle this situation ?
Many Thanks !

Anyone ??
Pretty Please .....

Order Status for partial return sales order

Dear All,
I am facing an issue at my client for which I am unable to find an appropriate reason.
We have done a complete Sales order cycle: S.Ord - Delivery and Invoice (100qty). Now the customer returns a certain part of materials delivered (say 30qty). We are creating a sales order for this 30qty and creating a delivery (for 30qty) and credit memo.
The problem here is that the status of returns delivery and credit memo is closed but the status of this returns order is shown as being processed and also is reflected in open orders report.
Can anyone please suggest why this is shown as being processed and not as closed despite the returns order being fully delivered and invoiced?
Note: the Completion rule for Item category of my returns order is set to B-Item is completed after full quantity has been referenced. Is it because of this? What would be the implications if I make this blank? Any other suggestions too would be highly appreciated
Thanks and Regards,
Rohan Gudavalli

This is b'coz, you create Credit memo with reference to Return Order (sales order), not from return delivery.
Further, if you check the standard copying control for VTFL ( Source: LR & Target: G2), you will not find config for this.
In standard, we have standard Billing doc type for this, that is RE - Credit for Returns (VOFA order-related billing VTFA).
So your standard process flow can be.
RE (Return Order)
-> LR (Return Delivery)
-> RE (Credit for Returns)
FYI, you can refer routine 2 - Ord-rel.credit memo from VOFM - Data transfer - Billing Document.
And that is the reason, why it is recommended to take Sales order as reference, instead of invoice.
Also, refer/check copying control config for VTFA for Return Order - RE to Credit for Returns - RE for Item category REN

List of Open AP Goods return on a specific Date

My customer needs a list of all open AP goods return, that were still open on a specific date.
They need to do this for month end, the open list, has to match what is in the Trial balance at month end.
I have tried with open item list, but this only shows me as of today.
I have tried with the General ledger by BP, but since the Goods return does not affect the Accounts receivable it is not displayed in this report.
I have also tried creating a report, but there is no information in the ORPD table that allows me to filter properly.
does anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks
Sophie

Sophie,
One possibility is to use ADOC (history table)
SELECT * FROM ADOC WHERE ObjType = 21
Pick the columns you want to display.

Landed costs can not get Goods receipt PO when Goods return made

Hi, everybody
I need to calculate landed costs and it seems that I can not use when I built a Goods return.
My procedure as follow ( ps: the same vendor number)
1. created a PO then Goods receipt PO (docNum says 1111) which included 20 quanties for item no AAAA.
2. created a Goods return which Copy from Goods receipt PO no: 1111, which included 5 quanties for item no AAAA.
3. next, I try to caculate my Landed costs. I open a new Landed costs and click the button "Goods Receipt PO", but I can not find any Goods receipt PO no: 1111.
What can I do to caculate my exactly landed costs & Goods receipt PO no: 1111 that included 15 quanties?
Thanks for your help

When you only Returned partial goods from your Receipt. The Receipt should still be open and you should be able to process the Landed cost. I am not sure why the GR is not showing in the landed costs window.
Please check if the GR is closed by an AP Invoice / by itself.
Otherwise, you will need to process AP Goods Return for the remaining 15 and process a New Goods Receipt for 15.

Copy to Goods Receipt PO function on Goods Return

In current version 2007A there is no Copy to Goods Receipt PO function on Goods Return document. There is only Copy to A/P Credit Memo. This list should contain all available target documents.

Yes, you can. You just need to go to add A/P invoice and click on Copy From button. Then select multiple GRPO to copy. However, you will be warned that only target FX rate can be used if you have BP currency instead of LC.
Thanks,
Gordon
