Back order handling for rejected goods

Infor LN SP1

In Infor LN SP1, if rejected goods are accepted again from the reject location in the Rejected Inventory (whwmd2570m000) session, a receipt line is created that originates from the purchase back order line that is created for the rejected goods. The back order quantity is decreased for the back order line, although the back order is already communicated to the supplier.

Infor LN FP2

In Infor LN FP2, the existing back order line is no longer used to accept rejected goods. The following changes are made to improve the back order handling for rejected goods:

  • Back order lines that are the result of rejection during inspection cannot be confirmed automatically and always result into a potential back order, even though the Confirm Back Orders Automatically check box is selected in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session. The reason for this is that a user must have the time to decide how to handle the rejected inventory that is stored in the reject location of the warehouse, which can also be accepted again. Confirmation can occur before or after a user has decided how to handle the rejected inventory at the reject location. However, if (part of) the rejected goods are accepted again, a user can first adapt the To be Confirmed Backorder Quantity and then confirm the potential back order in the Potential Purchase Back Orders (tdpur4101m700) session.
  • If rejected goods are accepted again in the Rejected Inventory (whwmd2570m000) session, a new receipt is executed for the original purchase order line (detail) and the Rejected Quantity is reduced with the accepted quantity.
  • The original purchase order line (detail) can only be processed in the Process Purchase Orders (tdpur4223m000) session if the total received quantity is inspected and rejected goods are no longer present at the reject location.
  • The invoicing status, which is displayed in the Invoicing Status field of the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session, can only be set to All Approved if rejected goods are no longer present at the reject location. If rejected goods are still present, the goods can be accepted again, after which they must be invoiced.
  • The following fields are added to the Potential Purchase Back Orders (tdpur4101m700), Purchase Orders - Receipt Overview (tdpur4531m000), and Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) sessions:
