Stock Placement during Return Delivery in Ware house

[former_member750380]

Hi All,

We have a scenario where client while returning the material to ware house want to place it in different bin. Currently the process is carried out through LT0G but here system is proposing the destination bin (original bin) as the same bin from where the batch stock is picked. Now due to some unavoidable reason before PGI user wants to unload the batch stock and place is it different bin. For this purpose currently we are first confirming the Transfer order created for return of batch stock to original bin and again creating a new TO to place the material from original bin to new destination bin. how can we avaiod cration of this extra Transfer order.

LT0G provides the option to place the stock in a different bin than it came from, this is even he usual way in our warehouses since the bin where the material was picked from is again occupied by other stock.

The TOs are actually evidence, they shall usually reflect the physical movements in a warehouse.

if you have already moved your material out of its original bin, then you need another TO to get it back or into any other bin. TOs are not even just an evidence, they are instructions, they are the communication method to instruct a warehouse worker to do something.So you should not try to avoid this important step.

This should be rule nº1 on every WM consultant's mind.

The return process should be handled as a returns goods receipt, not as a reversal of an outbound delivery.

You should only use reversals if the stock never left your warehouse, because otherwise your physical process won't match your system process, and chaos happens.

Hi Joao,

I am acquainted with the return delivry process where we use T-code LT0G for return of material from 916. Is there any other process or transaction for reversals as the issue mentioned above happens when stock has not yet left warehouse but picking activity has already been confirmed.

LT0G is the only transaction that can reduce the picked quantity from your delivery and can reset the picking status in the delivery.

you can use LT01 to move goods from 916 to any other storage type/bin but this leaves the picked quantity and the status untouched in the delivery and creates usually even more headache

Like I said, LT0G should be used to return non-shipped goods to the storage bin. It shouldn't be used for customer returns, because it severely limits the process. For example if goods come from the customer you should be doing a quality assessment before putaway.

Yes, you can use it, but that is far from being a best practice. Returns are goods receipts and should be handled as such.
