Related topics

You handle a return in the same way as that described in Return an item from normal stock. The only differences are:

  • If the return order type indicates immediate update, you can select from which FIFO transaction you will return goods when the return order is entered in the Purchase order maintenance routine.
  • If the return order type indicates that a return note should be printed, you can select from which FIFO transaction you will return goods when the return note is confirmed in the Reception note confirmation routine.

Prerequisites

  • In the Purchase order type table:
    • The purchase order type must be defined as a return order (i.e. Order/Return must be defined with 2).
    • The Immediate rec/rtn field must be set to YES.
    • If you are using the Purchase order maintenance routine to process the return, the order type must not have any documents to be printed.
    • If you are using the Reception note confirmation routine to process the return, the order type must defined to print the Return note.
  • Cost type in DIS control file is FIFO.
  • If you are returning a surplus of goods from the transit stock, you have to move the surplus quantity to the normal stock before you can perform the return to the supplier.
