Use

In this IMG activity, you can activate a specific customer returns processing including generated RMA (Returns Material Authorisation) numbers in the returns delivery. The numbers are generated according to the following logic: The concatenation of the returns order number and the returns order item make up the RMA number.

These numbers are created during returns delivery creation and are visible on a special tab strip in the returns delivery maintenance transactions.

Generation of RMA numbers can be activated based on the combination of sales order type and sales organization.
If RMA number generation is active, the process may also include an additional confirmation process from the customer.

The customer receives a returns instruction notification that shows him which materials and quantities are allowed to be returned in which timeframe. During confirmation, the customer either uses the SAP SNC functions or its own EDI subsystem to announce the goods actually to be returned. In this scenario, the returns delivery is not distributed to the warehouse management system as long as the confirmation from the customer has not yet been received.

Requirements

You are using an Extended Warehouse Management system. You are employing a customer returns process including RMA numbers.
