In this step, you define shipping-specific data for returns to vendor, which is the return delivery of goods to an external vendor.
You can use the return to vendor function without making any additional settings here. However, if you create shipping documents for the return delivery to the vendor, and if you want to use other delivery functions too, then you have to make settings for the required returns delivery type.
Example
Requirements
Prerequisites for returns to vendor with shipping processing include:
- Flagging the vendor (in the purchasing data) with the indicator "Ret. with shipping proc."
- Entering customer data for the vendor
- The system must be able to find a shipping point for the supplying plant (that sends the goods back to the vendor).
Standard settings
Recommendation
Activities
Assign the appropriate returns delivery type to
- purchasing document category F (purchase order),
- purchasing document type NB (standard purchase order) and
- the supplying plant
Returns delivery type "RL", which already exists in the system, is suitable for this.
Further notes
When using SAP Retail, stores (generally, supplying plants that are not distribution centers) usually do not have a shipping point. You have to make the appropriate settings for this in Customizing under Assign shipping point - plant and Assign shipping points.
When making these settings, ensure you adhere to the shipping conditions (for which you made settings in the vendor customer data) and the loading group settings (which you made for the material that is to be returned).
You do not need to determine a returns delivery type for the return to vendor for purchasing document type "UB" (stock transport order).
You cannot use the return to vendor function in the following scenarios:
- return delivery of goods to a plant
- return delivery of goods to a vendor whom you have linked with a plant in the vendor master data.
From a technical point of view, in the system this is the same as a return delivery to a plant. But in both cases, you must use store returns.
