Payable to supplier - to return quarantine inventory

If the payable-to-supplier parameter is activated, to return quarantined items to the vendor LN performs the following steps:

• Automatically select the Return Quarantine Inventory Payable to Supplier 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 or rework orders.

• Advise rejected items according to the ownership fields. Consigned and customer owned rejected items are allocated for outbound handling according to the Issue Strategy and Issue Ownership fields in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.

  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 Available for Planning check box is selected in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, 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 Pegged Inventory (whwmd2560m000) session.
• Do not update the inventory levels 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. This is required because in the payable-to-supplier scenario, the company owned items were paid on receipt and need to be paid back when returned. For customer owned or consigned items, do not generate a purchase payment order.
