Material return time needs to update copa with material cost for Return sales orders

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have implemented Costing based copa.

And we have Return sales orders concept and based on costing based copa fundamental rule return material cost updated at goods return time and copa updated at credit return time.

But my clint wants return material cost should be updated at material returns time only but not credit return time..........

Note:And also clint need this solution only for perticuler Return order type but not for all sales orders.

Can you please provide any suggestions to overcome this issue.

Dear kanth ch,

In costing based COPA, CO-PA document posted when you enter the invoice. Cost of returned material will not be updated in COPA at the time of goods receipt. Goods receipt process is not triggering system to create a COPA document.

In order to do that, You need to create cost element of cost of goods sold account and assing this account to OKB9 - Automatic account assignment and thick the profitability segment option.

And assign cost element to PA transfer structure in FI segment which value fields you want to update.

But in this scenario, system will post a COPA document with record type B at the time of goods receipt of return. At the time of invoice enter You need to clear cost of goods sold value field.

In Copa document posted when You do the goods receipt system cannot derivate the customer. So, You need to add a specific derivation rule for this step.

But important thing is You can not limit this process for a spesific return type.

I hope this will help you.

Regards,
