Inventory disposition - to return rejected inventory

LN performs the following steps:

  • Automatically select the Return Disposition Goods check box in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session for the warehouse order generated from the purchase return order.
  • Copy the values of the ownership fields from the original purchase order to the outbound order lines. For more information, refer to Ownership for outbound order lines of purchase return orders.
  • Advise rejected items according to the ownership fields. Consigned and customer owned rejected items are allocated for outbound according to the Issue Strategy and Issue Ownership fields.

    View allocations for customer owned and consigned receipts in the following sessions:

    • Consigned Receipts (whwmd2550m000)
    • Customer Owned Receipts (whwmd2550m100)

    Items blocked for inspection are considered available for outbound advice and picking lists. Blocks for inspection are lifted when the goods to be returned are shipped.

  • When shipping rejected items to be returned, remove blocks for inspection. If the Disposition Inventory Blocked for Planning check box in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session is selected, decrease the quantity blocked for planning in the inventory overview sessions. If the items are project inventory, also decrease the quantity blocked for planning and the on-hand quantity in the Project Inventory (whwmd2560m000) session.
  • Do not update the inventory overview sessions if items are not shipped, but moved back to the reject location from the staging location without an inventory adjustment, for example, if shipping cannot take place because transportation is unavailable.
  • Process the inventory transaction according to the settings of the ownership fields on the outbound order line. For company owned returned items, generate a credit note. For customer owned or consigned items, do not generate a purchase payment order.

Note

Outbound inspections are not available for inventory disposition.

Ownership for outbound order lines of purchase return orders

The ownership of disposition inventory does not change when returned. Therefore, LN copies the ownership settings of the original purchase order (the one with which the goods were received) to the outbound order lines generated from the purchase return order, except for the Issue Ownership field. This is set by Warehousing. The Internal Payment field of the original purchase order has no impact on the ownership fields of the outbound order line. The following table shows the ownership of the original purchase order and the resulting ownership settings on the outbound order lines.
