hi,
Prerequisites for automatic returns packaging:
The OEM has created vendor VEND and material MAT, that the vendor delivers to him.
The vendor has created customer CUST and material PROD, that he delivers to the OEM (PROD = MAT at the OEM).
The vendor has created a packing instruction PACK_V for material PROD, for packing in production or packing in the delivery. This packing instruction contains packaging material BOX1_V and EUROPALLET_V. (These packaging materials have been created as returnable packaging, with material type LEIH).
The OEM has created a packing instruction PACK_O for material MAT for packing in the goods receipt. This packing instruction contains packaging material BOX_O and EUROPALLET_O. (These packaging materials have been created as returnable packaging, with material type LEIH).
Vendor and OEM have fulfilled the prerequisites for packing instruction determination.
The vendor has created returnable packaging accounts in his system for BOX_V and EUROPALLET_V. The OEM is the account holder and the role of account manager in account statement is ‘Vendor’.
The vendor has created returnable packaging accounts in his system for BOX_C and EUROPALLET_C. The vendor is the account holder and the role of account manager in account statement is ‘Customer’.
Both the vendor and the OEM have fulfilled the prerequisites for automatic RP account movement.
The vendor and the OEM have fulfilled the prerequisites for transmission of shipping notification or RP account statements per EDI.
Process flow
The OEM requests the vendor to deliver material MAT.
The vendor system consequently has, for example, a schedule line for material PROD in an SD scheduling agreement.
The vendor produces the material.
He uses the packing instruction PACK_V to pack the material in production or in the delivery for sales order.
The vendor posts goods issue for the handling units.
The movements of the returnable packaging BOX_V and EUROPALLET_V are posted automatically to the appropriate RP accounts.
The vendor sends the OEM a shipping notification that contains data on the handling units shipped.
The OEM creates the shipping notification in his system. The OEM can explode the handling units using the packing instruction he created previously.
Based on the MM movement, the returnable packaging items BOX_V and EUROPALLET_V are posted automatically to the appropriate RP accounts.
The vendor periodically receives account statements per EDI from the OEM, detailing the account postings on his account.
The accounts that correspond to the inbound statement in the vendor system are determined and the transactions on the respective accounts are compared (matched).
regards,
Siddharth
