Hi

I want to know what is the exact use of Returns Item indicator marked in the PO.

If that is returns item why would anybody prepare PO for that material.

Hi,

Returns for a PO also concern return deliveries of materials to an external vendor. You therefore do not create a reference to the PO that you created for the original delivery or the goods receipt posted. For this type of return, you create a returns item in the PO. You create a returns item by setting the returns indicator for this item in the item overview of the PO.

Examples for Returns for PO:

1) You procure filters from a vendor. You return the dirty filters to the vendor for recycling.

2) You have agreed with your cable vendors that you can return cable remnants to them. you then receive a credit memo for the value of the copper contained in the cables.

You enter return just like you enter goods receipt for a PO. Coose Goods receipt and as reference purchase order. The system automatically proposes movement type 161 for the returns item.

Reward if it is useful.

Hi

Consider a scenario in which only 1 or 2 qty. from whole lot is rejected at time of GR or in Prod. In such cases it is not advisable to return material to vendor with ref. to Po as qty is very less.In such cases keep that material aside and when rej. qty is accumulated upto certain level.Simply create new PO with tick on "Returns item" checkbox.And simply post GR and IR for same.Vendor account will be debited with PO value.

If u try to return those 1 or 2 qty with ref. to PO it will a tedius job

instead of this u can simply create new Po with tick on "Returns item" checkbox and return whole lot in one go

Hi,

If u do a return delivery for a material after a long time , and u r not aware tht this item belong to which Po, for that purchase we create a New Po called a return Po .

So that there will be a reference for this return .

Hope it wud have answered ur question

Reward if useful
