Use this function to record the customer returns following a delivery or a supplier return in the case of inter-site or inter-company transfers.
Once the return completed, the stocks will be moved if necessary. It will be possible to print a return slip. Otherwise, a credit memo can be recorded in the appropriate function.
Refer to documentation Implementation
Entering a customer return is done on a single screen. The presentation of the entry screen depends on the setup of the selected transaction.
If a single transaction is set up, no choice is proposed upon entering the function.
Otherwise, a window opens to present the list of transactions available for use. The choice can also be restricted by using access codes.
Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
|
This is the site to which the material is returned. A product can be returned to another site of the company which carried out the shipment. |
|
Only one return type of the "Normal" category can be entered. Besides, the legislation and company group for which it is defined must be consistent with those of the receipt site company. The return type is used to determine, amongst other things, the sequence number counter at use. |
|
Return number that allows the return to be identified in a unique way.
|

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Return detail

The presence of this box is subject to the activity code WRH. |
|
In the case where the receipt transaction authorizes a dock receipt (parameter active in the transaction setup), a dock location field appears in the receipt note header. This makes it possible to enter a location of the 'dock' type which will then be transferred by default as the return location for all receipt note lines. The specified dock location must be associated with the warehouse, when the latter is specified.
|
|
This field can only be accessed on entering a return which is not related to any delivery or supplier return.
|
||
|
This is the product description translated into the customer language. If the translation does not exist in the customer language, the un-translated product description is used. This description is also transferred from one document to another. When the return comes from a delivery, the translated description is inherited from the document line concerned. When the return comes from a direct supplier return (inter-site), the translated description is inherited from the product record. If the supplier has for origin a delivery, the translated description of the delivery is used.
|
||
|
The standard description for the product is initialized by the product description if it is a direct return (making no reference to any shipment). When the return comes from a direct supplier return (inter-site), the standard description will be inherited from the supplier return.
|
||
|
It is the unit in which the return is expressed. This information can be modified as long as no stock movement has been performed on the return line or provided the return line has not been subject to a credit memo. For a direct return, the sales unit is initialized by the sales unit defined in the Product-customer record, provided it exists. Otherwise, it is initialized by the sales unit of the product. If the sales unit is modified, the Expected return quantity, the Return quantity and the conversion factor between the return unit and stock unit are automatically re-calculated in the new unit. From this field, the contextual button can be used to:
|
||
|
The "Expected return quantity" field , expressed in the unit for the return, is initialized by the maximum quantity that can be returned with respect to the original delivery or the supplier return in the case of an inter-site or inter-company supplier return.
|
||
|
The Return quantity field is expressed in the return unit. It corresponds to the actual quantity returned for the selected delivery, or the chosen supplier return. A control is applied against the Expected return quantity. It will not be possible to return a quantity that is greater than the expected quantity.
|
||
|
The coefficient between the return unit and the stock unit is only accessible if the return unit has been set up as being modifiable in the product record. |
||
|
This is the stock unit for the product. This information is not accessible. |
||
|
This is the delivered quantity on the original delivery note minus any quantity already returned. For supplier returns, the delivered quantity is also the original delivery quantity minus the quantity already returned. The shipped quantity is decreased by the returned quantity on the line when the return is saved. It is expressed in the return unit (SAL).
|
||
|
The information indicated in this field comes from the delivery and displays the net unitary price of the delivery line for a return unit. For a direct return the price is null. |
||
|
The information specified in this field comes from the delivery showing the currency of the net price in the delivery line. It is in fact possible to carry out a return for delivery lines that have different currencies. |
||
|
This field is used to define the customer return reason using the different reasons defined in miscellaneous table number 7. |
||
|
This date is initialized by the return date entered in the header. If this date is inferior to the current date, the current date will be proposed by default. |
||
|
When the return is a delivery for an order that has not yet been invoiced, you can request to update the order. The order and the order line are updated to process a new delivery based on the returned quantity. The order is then pending delivery. Note: When a customer returns a sales kit, you cannot update the sales order. This ensures that quantities for the parent product and the associated components remain consistent. The parent product and the associated components are no longer linked in the returns, but they are still linked in the sales order. |
||
|
  |
||
|
This flag is always selected by default. Depending on the product configuration, the following stock characteristics need to be specified:
At the end of the receipt line, a window for the entry of the stock detail may open automatically if all the stock information has not been entered or initialized. This information must then be entered in this detail screen. |
||
|
The presence of this field depends on the activity code WRH.
|
||
|
This field is initialized with the default status defined by the management rule assigned to the transaction type Delivery return. According to the management rule used for the Loan return movement typology, it is possible to set up the generation of an analysis request upon receiving the goods in stock if the status of goods is set to status to be controlled (Q * ). |
||
|
Location types are used to codify warehouse locations according to storage characteristics such as their dimensions, authorized statuses and technical constraints. They are associated with the products by site (or the products by warehouse when warehouses are managed): you can thus geographically group the products that share similar characteristics.
|
||
|
If the product is managed by location, a default location can be initialized with respect to the management rule assigned to the movement type 'Delivery return' and with respect to the locations set up in the 'Product/warehouse' record if warehouses are managed (otherwise the locations set up in the 'Product/site' record are used). For some location typologies, their assignment will depend on their availability and on their capacity (capacity management). This information can be modified is necessary. If the return transaction allows it, a location of the "dock" type can be entered in the return header. If this is the case, this location will be systematically suggested by default. Dock-type locations are not suggested upon selection if dock receipts are not specified in the return transaction. In some cases, it is possible not to enter a location and/or location type intentionally as the goods to be returned are distributed on different storage locations. This distribution will then be entered in the Stock detail window. On terminating the entry, if the sign '$' is displayed in these zones, it is because different location types and/or locations have been assigned and that a sub-detail exists for stock lines. From the 'Location Type' field, the contextual button can be used to:
From the 'Location' field, the contextual button can be used to:

If the product is managed by lot, different cases are possible based on the lot management rule associated with the Shipment return transaction type and based on the product lot management rule. If a product is managed with mandatory or optional lots, the access to the lot field depends on one hand on the setup of the return transaction used and on the other hand on the management rule Delivery return defined in the product category or in the stock management rules. At the level, you can indeed specify whether the lot is not to be entered, free of entry, or if only new lots can be entered. In addition, it will be possible to allocate a default value to a lot. In this case, several choices are also offered. Never initialize the lot or initialize the lot with a document number (the initialization with the document number is not visible during the entry if the return number is automatically allocated at the creation, it is given a blank value). At the end of the entry, if no lot number has been entered, several cases can arise:
Specific case of the products managed as optional lotThis product type allows the entry of a blank lot field. In this case, this must be indicated by entering the lot field and clicking Blank lot from the Actions menu. At this moment, when saving the document, the sequence number counters or the document number will not be used. This management method is thus incompatible with a management rule that does not allow the entry of an internal lot number. The grid given below summarizes the impact of the setup of the management rule for the movement type Shipment return with mandatory lot management during the entry of a direct return.
From this field, use the Actions icon to:
|
||
|
This field contains the number of sub-lots concerned by the stock transaction. |
||
|
If the product is managed by lot and sub-lot, it is mandatory upon return to specify the sub-lot number associated with the internal lot. This entry is not mandatory at the level of the return line because it can be necessary to distribute it on the stock detail lines or to have several sub-lots to enter. By default, the system proposes the sub-lot number 00001 if no sub-lot number has yet been assigned to a lot in the entry. If this is not the case, the next sub-lot number is suggested as an increment of the last sub-lot. It is possible in certain cases for the system not to offer the next sub-lot because the last sub-lot corresponds to a character chain that cannot be incremented (e.g. 'AAAAA'). At the level of the return line, it is possible to enter a number of sub-lots corresponding to the number of sales units. If a number superior to 'one' is entered, the system calculates automatically the sub-lots to be assigned based on the entered sub-lot number (validate the calculated distribution in the stock detail window which opens automatically in this context). If a single sub-lot is required, the end sub-lot number is identical to the starting sub-lot number.
|
||
|
This field indicates the last sub-lot on which the stock movement is applied. |
||
|
If the product is managed by lot and this is a new lot manually entered, it is possible upon return to assign the original supplier lot if it is known (no specific control is carried out on this information). A selection window is used to choose a supplier lot among known ones (having been the object of a receipt). |
||
|
If the product is managed by serial numbers at the receipt/issue or only at issue, it is mandatory to enter, before saving the return, one or more serial numbers depending on the quantity returned (this entry is made in the stock detail window). Upon direct return, it is possible to enter a serial number not known by the system (this corresponds to an old serial number that was not referenced in Sage X3). An information message will report it. Upon saving the return, the serial number is automatically created. If several serial numbers are returned, the end number contains the last serial number, provided the numbers are consecutive. Otherwise, a '$' symbol will be displayed in the two fields to specify that the numbers returned are not consecutive. It is recommended to access the stock detail window in order to view all serial numbers. Return coming from a delivery or an inter-site supplier return:In the case of a return coming from a delivery or an inter-site supplier return, most of the information will be automatically initialized from the stock information in the original document line, other information must be entered manually or will be initialized as a function of the setup associated with a receipt movement of the Customer return type.

This is the unit amount by stock unit which can be used in order to value the stock (if the valuation method for customer returns is Order Price). The order price is initialized as follows:
In both cases, the order price cannot be modified. If this concerns a direct return, the order price is not initialized but can be modified. |

This field corresponds to the delivery number at the origin of the return. The original delivery can be accessed by tunnel granted the user has authorization. |
||
|
This is the number of the inter-site supplier return at the origin of the return. This return can be accessed by tunnel, granted the user has authorization. |

Action icon
This function is used to enter a free text on the return line to be printed on the return note.
This function is used to access the Stock detail window that makes it possible to specify the stock information that has not been entered on the return line or to proceed with the necessary splits (Returns with different statuses, on different locations...). This function is accessible for a return line only if the stock transactions have not been recorded yet. If the stock transactions have been recorded, it is necessary to use the Receipt Modification function described later in this document.
This function is only available for the products managed by lot provided the stock receipt has not yet taken place. It is used to identify, when the lot has not been entered, how the lot is to be calculated during the stock receipt. The possible values are: Lot sequence number / Document no. / Blank lot.
This function is only accessible on the return line for products managed by lot where the stock receipt has not yet taken place (it is always accessible using the stock detail windows in creation or modification mode).
It is used to specify:
Use this function to modify the stock movements that have been carried out when saving a return. This function is very similar to the Entry of quantity details function available at the time of the entry of the stock transaction on the return line.
This function is only available from a stable situation. This means that it is not possible to modify the receipt note (the button Save must be deactivated).
On saving a modification, reversals will be carried out on the original transactions in the stock journal and new stock transactions will be carried out on the original transaction dates. A modification on a receipt will only be possible if the stock line linked to the credit memo still exists or if the quantity to be processed for this line is sufficient.
Use this function to modify all the stock information entered and to delete return lines if necessary. Indeed, if all the stock information is deleted, the return line will be deleted. If it is the only return line, the return note itself will be deleted. A return line that has been taken into account by a credit memo cannot be deleted.
For more information on this function refer to Change receipts.
Use this function to access the delivery of origin through the Jump to in the action menu depending on the user authorizations. This function is not available in the case of a direct return.
Use this function to access the credit memo through the Jump to in the action menu while taking into account the return line depending on the user authorizations. This function is not available if no credit memo has been created.
Use this function to access the source supplier return through the Jump to in the action menu depending on the user authorizations. This function is not available if the line origin is not an inter-site or inter-company supplier return.

Project
|
The management of the project code depends on the value of the CTLOPPCOD - Mandatory project control parameter (TC chapter - MIS group).
When the entry is controlled, depending on the context, the user can choose a project, or one of the entities that can be allocated to the project (a budget lot or a task) using its allocation code:
In creation mode, the project code is systematically transferred to the document lines where it can only be modified if the multi-project management of documents is authorized (the PJTSNGDOC - One project per document parameter is set to No).
Inter-company and inter-site specificities: for an inter-site supplier return, the project code is automatically set to the one of the purchase return. For an inter-company supplier return, the project code is not recovered from the purchase return and remains blank. |
Grid Analytical
|
This grid is used to enter or display the dimension types based on the customer return entry transaction setup. |
|
This field repeats the title of the dimension type. |
|
Depending on the setup, the analytical dimensions can be modified as they are initialized in compliance with the default dimensions setup. |
Global document
|
A global document refers to a shipment where the final delivery details (customer sites and quantities) are not known at departure time. For instance: A company sells baked goods and delivers them to several customers' sites. The truck leaves with 1,000 units of baked goods, but it is not know how many will be delivered to each customer site. When all the deliveries are complete, the detail/normal shipping note is created and linked to the global document. If the current record corresponds to the example below, you must select the Global document check box to link the record to the final transport and deactivate those fields that are linked to the global transport. Otherwise, do not select the Global document check box, to link the record to the global document. |
|
If the current record is linked to a global document, you need to enter the global document type (origin) and the global document number to associate these two documents and to export this association properly in SAF-T.

Click this action to access the Document traceability inquiry function. This function is used to view and browse through the hierarchy of journals at the origin or coming from the document.
This function is used to access the customers installed base.
When a product is managed in the base, the customer base will automatically be updated upon entry of the return with stock transaction (only for products with serial numbers). The status of the installed base record will be:
A history record identifying the previous situation (at the customer) in the installed base record will be created.
In certain cases, the automatic update cannot be made notably in the case of non-serialized products or because the installed base has never been created.
This function therefore makes it possible (where the user authorizations enable it) to create an installed base record or to manually update the customer installed base. Any modification carried out on the return after a stock receipt will no longer update the installed base automatically. The installed base has to be updated manually.
