Use
In the following IMG activities, you configure enhanced store returns processing with outbound and inbound deliveries. This procedure can be performed for both intracompany and cross-company-code store returns.
There are several steps:
- Configure the required document types, item categories, and schedule line categories.
- Configure a default outbound delivery for the returns stock transport order.
- Configure the system to automatically create an inbound delivery for the receiving plant when you post the goods issue for the outbound delivery.
- Configure the system to perform intercompany billing with reference to the inbound delivery.
Once you have set up enhanced store returns handling, you can activate it for the relevant purchase order types in IMG activity Define Document Types.
Note
If you activate Advanced Returns Management for a purchase order type, you must also activate enhanced store returns processing. You do this in IMG activity Activate Advanced Returns Management for Purchase Order Types. However, you can activate enhanced store returns handling for a purchasing document type independently of Advanced Returns Management.
Note
For enhanced cross-company-code store returns, intercompany billing is performed with reference to the inbound delivery.
Requirements
Standard settings
In the standard, purchase order type UB2 is available for enhanced intracompany store returns, and NB2C for enhanced cross-company-code store returns.
Activities
You configure enhanced store returns processing as follows:
- In IMG activity Define Item Categories, define and configure the item categories of the outbound and inbound deliveries that are involved in enhanced store returns.
The following item categories are available in the standard:
- NLLR (outbound delivery)
- ELLR (inbound delivery, intracompany)
- ELCR (inbound delivery, cross-company code)
- In IMG activity Assign Schedule Line Categories, assign a schedule line category that is appropriate for returns to the item category of the outbound delivery.
In the standard, the schedule line category RN is assigned to item category NLLR.
- In IMG activity Define Item Categories for Deliveries, enhance the item categories for the outbound and inbound delivery with data for logistics execution purposes.
Specify document category J Delivery for the item category for the outbound delivery, and 7 Delivery/shipping notification for the item categories for the inbound delivery.
Set movement type 671 for the inbound delivery item category used in intracompany store returns and movement type 673 for the inbound delivery item category used in cross-company-code store returns.
- In IMG activity Define Sales Document Types, define a sales document type of document category C Order as the default order type in the delivery types for outbound and inbound delivery. In the standard, the sales document type DLRE is available.
- In IMG activity Define Delivery Types, define the delivery types for the outbound and inbound delivery.
The following delivery types are available in the standard:
- LLR (outbound delivery)
- ELR (inbound delivery, intracompany)
- ECR (inbound delivery, cross-company code)
Enter the sales document type defined above as the default order type.
- In IMG activity Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries, assign the item categories to the delivery types.
In the standard, the following assignments are configured:
Delivery Type Item Category
LLR NLLR
ELR ELLR
ECR ELCR
- In IMG activity Specify Copy Control for Deliveries, specify the copy control from the default order type as source to the delivery types for outbound and inbound delivery as target. In the standard, the copy control from source DLRE to the delivery types LLR, ELR, and ECR is available.
- In IMG activity Maintain Output Types, check the configuration of the output type SPED as of the standard setting.
The output type is used to trigger the inbound delivery creation during goods issue.
In Advanced Returns Management, this step and the following step are optional. The system checks whether you have configured the inbound delivery creation using output determination and if not it creates the inbound delivery automatically.
- In IMG activity Assign Output Determination Procedures, assign an appropriate output determination procedure and the output type SPED to the delivery type for the outbound delivery.
To complete the standard setting, you have to assign output type SPED to delivery type LLR.
- In IMG activity Define Internal Confirmation Categories, assign the inbound delivery types used for intracompany and cross-company-code store returns to the confirmation category for Shipping Notification.
In the standard, the delivery types ELR and ECR are assigned to confirmation category LA for the internal confirmation category Shipping Notification.
- In IMG activity Store Return / Return Plant to Plant, assign the delivery type used for the outbound delivery to your relevant plants and purchase order types.
To complete the standard settings, you have to assign delivery type LLR to your plants and purchase order types UB2 and NB2C.
- In IMG activity Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents, specify the copy control from the inbound delivery to the credit memo.
In the standard, copy control is defined for delivery type ECR as source to the credit memo billing type IG as target.
