To get rejected inventory

If you want to get rejected inventory, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Create a purchase order in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session. Make sure you specify a purchase-order type to which a warehousing-order type with an inspection procedure is linked. See Rejected inventory settings.
  2. Create a purchase-order line in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session. The following must apply to the purchase-order line:
    • The quantity must be more than zero.
    • The Inventory Handling field must have the value By Main Item.
    • The Inspection check box must be selected; otherwise, you are not able to carry out the inspection procedure in Warehousing.
  3. Carry out the activities of the purchase order procedure as specified in the Purchase Order Type - Activities (tdpur0560m000) session. In this procedure, the purchase order is released to Warehousing.
  4. Carry out the activities of the receipt procedure as specified in the Activities by Procedure (whinh0106m000) session. As a result of this procedure, the received goods are put away in the inspection location.
  5. Carry out the activities of the inspection procedure as specified in the Activities by Procedure (whinh0106m000) session. You can use the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session to approve, reject, or destroy goods. The destroyed quantity is part of the approved quantity. The inventory, rejected during inspection, is put away in the reject location.
Note

To handle rejected inventory, the standard rejected inventory handling and inventory disposition methods are available.

The following applies to the standard method:

  • If you reject items and you have indicated that rejected inventory must be handled in the warehouse and the Allowed check box on the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session is selected, LN creates a backorder for the rejected items.
  • If the Automatically check box on the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session is cleared, you must manually confirm the backorder in the Potential Purchase Back Orders (tdpur4101m700) session.
  • If you do not confirm the backorder, you cannot accept rejected inventory in the Rejected Inventory (whwmd2170s000) session.
