Return Inventory procedure
Pegging Specific conditions are applicable for returning pegged inventory. If a return order line is linked to an original document, the linked peg distribution is defaulted. If a return order line is not linked to an original document, you can manually specify a peg distribution for the return order line. You can manually update the defaulted peg distribution. The return order line's pegs can differ from the pegs on the original document. If two purchase return order lines are linked to a specific original schedule line/schedule receipt line, for both order lines, the same return order quantity and peg distribution are defaulted. As a result, you must manually decrease the return order quantity and update the peg distribution. Return Rejects procedure To return production material to buy-from and ship-from business partners, you can generate purchase return orders from quarantine inventory in the Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2172m000) session. These orders can be linked to an original purchase document, but this is not mandatory. To return the quarantine inventory, set the Disposition field to Return to Vendor in the Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2172m000) session. Select the disposition lines, and click Process on the appropriate menu of the Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2172m000) session, to generate a purchase return order of the type Return Rejects in the Purchase Order (tdpur4100m900) session. If the return order cannot be linked to an original document, LN verifies whether the combination of item, and buy-from/ship-from business partner of the disposition line(s) is available in the purchase order actual or history data. If not, a warning message is displayed. After a return order is generated, the generated return order number is displayed on the Disposition Order tab in the Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2172m000) session. You must approve the purchase return order to start the (regular) outbound procedure. For more information, refer to Process quarantine inventory - return to vendor.
