Vendor Return Authorization #

You can specify a Vendor Return Authorization # on return merchandise sales orders (OE RM) and return merchandise purchase orders (PO RM). On an OE RM, the number that you specify at the header level is copied to the line level, but you can override it.

If the OE RM is tied to a PO RM and the return reason is vendor, the Vendor Return Authorization # at the header and line levels are copied to the PO RM. You can change the values on the PO RM. If you change the Vendor Return Authorization # on either document, the values are not synchronized.

The Vendor Return Authorization # is copied to the new suffix if a back order is created.

The order copy function in Sales Order Entry and Purchase Order Entry does not copy this value.

The Vendor Return Authorization # is included in these inquiry functions and reports:

• Sales Order Inquiry
• Purchase Order Inquiry
• Sales Order Master List Report
• Purchase Master List Report

The Vendor Return Authorization # is not required on any document. You can use the Personalization feature to remove the field from the user interface.
