BOM Returns

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I've created a quantity contract for a BOM Item and released the order and delivered the same and also created an invoice.

The Customer wants to reject one of teh component from the BOM.

My question is, how do I create a returns order for the component out of a BOM?

I tried it with order type as RE and tried to copy the BOM Item where it threw an error saying,

'Item 000020 is a component of a bill of material so cannot be copied'

Please let me know how to create a returns order for a component of a BOM material.

P.S. The BOM is priced at component level (ERLA).

Hii Rish,

Check the Itemcategory determination settings with respect to the Returns order RE with BOM combination or with component combination in the transaction VOV4.

If Itemcategory settings are not available do the settings then try.

I hope it will help you,

Hi,

I have checked the Item category determination settings for RE,

RE(Doc Ty)+ ERLA (Item category group)+ TAP (Higher LEvel Item) + REN (Default Item Category)

I hope this is how it should be.

PLease let me know.

Thanks & Regards!

Hello Murali,

The Items in a BOM are not getting copied when we create a retuns order with reference to the Release order.

The msg is

'Item 000020 is a component of a bill of material so cannot be copied'

Thanks

HI,

What is the itemctegory group of the component

Check the itemctegory determination is available with that itemcategory group

Check this combination also

RE (Document type)+ERLA (Itemcategory group)--->TAP(default itemctegory).

I hope it will help you

hi rish

it has worked for me . i have taken like this for k-----k1,k2 are the sub items.

check the copy the copy controls in VTAF by giving source and target as f2--g2 and copy them adn rename the target one asRE and select the item cat TAN go to details and rename as aREN.

do not for get to check the box copy schedulelines& sales document flow.

raise a returns sales order and slect the billing document .

u can see the main item copied into the sales order . ucan kepp the subitems manually depending on the requirement as wht and how many goods that are returned .

please do revert back as whether if it has worked for u or not....

HI

THE SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR THIS IS

when you create a returns delivery of the bom item..

we create it with reference to your billing doc

as a result alll the materials and quantities will be copied into ur sales document

instead of going for Copy,, go for selection list...when creating the returns order with ref to bill doc

you can select the material you want to create the returns....

the rest of the process

delivery

&

billing

can be done normally with out any problem

Dear Krishna,

I said i created a quantity contract and, the invoice was generated with reference to the release order and not the Contract, anyways

the scenario goes like this

First, my client has a quantity contract with his customer.

The Item of a contract has got a BOM and priced at component level.

Now, first of all when the customer sends a PO that is within the contract, i will have to generate a RELEASE ORDER with reference to the contract. Then will create a delivery and pick the Qty and do the PGI and then I'll invoice the same.

Now if the customer rejects any single component from the BOM. How do I create a returns order for this BOM item.

Hope I'm clear this time Krishna.

Thanks & Regards!!
