Dear Satya,

according to the SAP note 751609 this process is oficially not supported by SAP. Please read the note 751609. It is the official statement of SAP to this topic.

Dear Kiran,

officially the return process is not supported by standard SAP ERP system for the third-party process (SAP note 751609). This functionality was never designed and is not supported.

The note 751609 is the official statement of SAP to this problem.

I am sorry, I cannot give you another response. Nevertheless I hope that this information helps you further.

Hi All,

Was thinking of an alternative and came up with this thought. Not very sure if this process would help thou.

We could take the stock in to our plant using the return order, like any other normal return process and then return the goods to the vendor, just like how we would return goods to our vendor incase they are damanged.

Later a credit memo request could be raised for the customer and returning goods to the vendor would be taken care by the MM consultant

Give me your thoughts..

Dear Nadarajah,

thank you for your information. But I can only confirm again that officially this process is not supported by SAP. There have been many attempts to bring this functionality into the standard ( as the SAP employee working in this area I know this very well), but there have been always some technical problems or limitations which would do it impossible to release this functionality to the customer. The returns for the third-party order is therefore officially a not supported process at SAP ERP. The SAP note above documents this.

Be careful with workarounds, they can have many critical restrictions or limitations here. I am sorry that I cannot give you a more positive response.

But I hope that this info helps a little bit further.

Dear Ram,

there are many SD functionalities which SAP does not support. For example, in the third-party process: the third-party process is not supported for scheduling agreements with delivery schedules. The most not-supported cases are documented in the SAP consulting and FAQ notes. Unfortunately it is impossible to indicate all SD processes which are not supported in one short response.

And honestly to say, in the frames of my response above I wanted only to answer the question of our colleague concerning returns in the third-party process to help him further. I hope on your understanding.
