This function is used to record returns of non-consumed material having been subject to a delivery for sub-contracting or to a supplier return. This concerns for instance a return of damaged material or of material sent in excessive quantities as compared to the recorded sub-contracting order.

It is not possible to carry out directly a sub-contracting material return. This return is created:

  • either it is a return on delivery from a sub-contracting delivery,
  • or (in the case of inter-site management), from a supplier return recorded in the sub-contracting service provider site. It is then a return on supplier return.

Once the return is carried out, the stocks will be transferred and it will be possible to print a return note.

Screen management

The presentation of the entry screen depends on the setup of the selected transaction.

If only one transaction has been set up, any selection will be suggested when entering the function; otherwise, a window opens and displays the list of transactions that might be used. (The choice can also be restricted by access codes.)

The creation of a sub-contracting material return is performed by picking:
- either a sub-contracting delivery line (in the left list Delivery Selection),
- either a supplier return (in the left list Return Selection).
 
The picking lists are available as soon as the ship-to customer is entered.

Header

The header is used to enter the ship-to customer and so to initialize the picking lists.

Tab Lines

Each returned product line is loaded from one or several lines selected by picking in the lists of the Selection panel: Delivery selection and Return selection.
It is initialized with the entire delivery or return, except for the returns that have already been carried out for this delivery or return.

Depending on the setup carried out for the Stock information at entry transaction level, the data necessary to the stock movement can be entered on the return line when the stock update is required and when there is only one stock detail line. When this information has not been entered or when there are several stock detail lines, a Detail entry window automatically opens at return line end in order to complete it. See below Entry operation in return creation mode.

In addition to the stock characteristics specific to the product, a certain number of rules affect stock receipts. A general description can be entered for these rules in the Delivery return for sub-contract field, in the Stock management rules setup function. They can also be refined by Product category or site-specific product category. If necessary, a receipt to stock rule on sub-contract material return can also be defined by Product category for a movement typology (see the movement code definition on the Sub-contracting material return transaction setup).

Tab Controls
