Dear All
When we create return order (RE) with reference to billing document (F2). We have to maintain copy control manually for STD document Type in VTAF. I have checked in development server and also in IDES but no customizations maintained in VTAF for Source document F2 and Target document RE.
This is a normal process which will happen to all types of business.
*why it is not maintained in Standard?*
*Is there any logic behind that?*
Pl share your views

Hi
Your observation is correct
It is because in VOV8 for returns order type RE there is no mandatory reference in standard SAP
In normal business scenarios the returns order is something like the customer returns the material to you because he feels that is not going to be useful to him
Say you have invoiced a material X to him in may 09 for 10 units and another invoice material Y to him 10 units in june 09
He might have paid those bill and settled every thing
But in Nov 09 if there is 2 units of that material X and 2 units of material Y which he wants to return he can do that
In that case there is no requirement or no need to refer his original F2 invoice created in May 09 and June 09 respectively
Hope you understand this scenario
Having said this if it is client a requirement to have mandatory reference Return order with reference to F2 invoice then you need to setup copy controls

Hi
why the copy control settings is not maintained for RE<- F2 in standard
For this only the whole explanation was given
Reason 1
In VOV8 for returns order type RE there is no mandatory reference in standard SAP
Hence there is no copy controls needed to be defined
Reason 2
Say you have invoiced a material X to him in may 09 for 10 units and another invoice material Y to him 10 units in june 09
He might have paid those bill and settled every thing
But in Nov 09 if there is 2 units of that material X and 2 units of material Y which he wants to return he can do that
In that case there is no requirement or no need to refer his original F2 invoice created in May 09 and June 09 respectively
This is the normal practical returns scenario in many of the business practises
There is no hard and fast rule that a return order needs to be created referenicng a particular F2
The customer is returning his unwanted stocks and that is it ( the products might be mix of 10 or 12 --F2 invoices which he has received)
So he sends back
In SAP we make that as a return order
SAP has defined this rightly and moreover the standard settings of SAP is based on the business practises followed many of the top companies and a lot of research and analysis is still going on in this
If SAP has not defined this settings in standard then it means a lot of companies follow this only across various segments and industries and standards are based on the analysis of the business practises followed many of the top companies
SAP just like that doesnot tell anything as standard and lot of thought has been put into standard settings
