PO return process

[Chris Kelleher]

Being so new to this, I am unclear about the concept.... could someone help explain what is happening in MFG/PRO when PO return happened, please??

From what I can see, when the flag, "return to replace", is set to "yes", it should create a negative receiver for the quantity returned. When this happens, a new line item is added to the PO side. What about the inventory side? This negative receiver is ..where? and how do you receive it back, once the replacement arrives? ie. receive it in from the new line item??

Environment = 8.5G & 8.2c

Thank you in advance!!

The flag " return to replace = yes", will create a new line. This reduces
inventory by the quantity returned and financially reduces your liability to the
supplier. When replacement is made a new Receipt can be generated on
that line.

You have to take note of the PO line "Due Date" if the Item has a long
Purchase Lead Time; MRP action message "Past Due Date" on the PO . Changing
the line due to reflect when replacement will be made, should help.
