Return rejects purchase orders

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.
