Return Material

[Former Member]

Hi MM Gurus,

I am working on a trading Client. I have one scenario to discuss regarding the Retrurn material from the customer.

Sometimes the material is returned from the customer. Now the warranty check will happen in the plant with the vendor from where it was procured because this warranty is the warranty period of the vendor only.

Now there are two cases will happen

1) Repair

2)Replacement

If the material is not in warranty then the vendor will Repair/Replace it with charges.

If the material is warranty then the vendor will Repair/Replace it without any charges.

How this material will be sent to the vendor?

How to handle this scenario??

Is this scenario is possible in MM Core module only??

Please give a solution with explanation.

Points will be awarded.

Hi,

First of all to track the stock of materials returned back by customers, you should have a separate Storage Location as "Returns Store"

Now follow the below procedure to get back the material stock from customer;

1. VA01 - Create Returns order w/o reference

2. VL01N - Create Delivery and do PGR (Stock will get received in "Returns" Stock of Customer, view in MMBE)

3. MIGO - Transfer Posting > Others (Transfer stock of materials from Returns to Un-restricted if to be used by your organization or

Blocked Stock if to be returned to vendor as per requirement)

Use following Movement Types;

453 Transfer posting to own stock from returns from customer OR

459 Stock transfer returns to blocked

At this stage following A/c Entry will get generated;

Stock A/c - Dr
COGS A/c - Cr

4. VF01 - Create Credit Memo w.r.t. Delivery Document

A/c Entry generated will be;

Customer A/c - Cr
Sales Revenue - Dr

Now follow the below procedure to return back the material stock to vendor;

1. ME21N - Create a Returns PO (Activate "Returns" indicator for PO line item)

2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Purchase Order (Returns PO) (Here system will hit Mvmt type "161" and you can also select Blocked stock from

where you want to return the stock to vendor)

Accounting Entry generated will be;

Stock A/c - Cr
GR/IR Clearing - Dr

3. MIRO - Credit memo w.r.t. Returns PO

Accounting Entry generated will be;

Vendor A/c - Dr
GR/IR Clearing - Cr
