Material Return

[Former Member]

Hi all,

There is a scenario that User department have to return the old material to get a new material from store. User department will return the old used material and get the new material, but some time, user department will return the old material after some time ie they get the new material from store first and later after some days old material will be returened to store.

Store department wants to track the non returnable items. How to map this in SAP?

hi,

u can use return PO for this scenario.

make two line items.

one for receipt and second for return.

so there is a track for receipt as well as return items agaist single PO document do the GR for both the entries.

Hi,

You can use concept of reservation to achieve this.

Create Reservation form movement type 202 in MB21 for the Receipt of the old materials.

Similarly create reservations for the issue of new materials using movement type 201.

Then do GR or GI in MIGO w.r.t. Reservations.

Also you can track the list of open and closed reservations in report MB25

Hi

In such a case, QM has a role to play. It is possible to create a Quality Notification (QM01) for the old part to be replaced. Then a Returns Delivery is created with reference to this Quality Notification. This would help to maintain a record of how many parts are to be repaired or replaced.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Dear,

First - What about these material - Is valuated or not??

You want to issue material

Later on the same material return to Stores (after usage for a period) - In this case in What is the returns valuation, is these have some value or zero value?

What stores going to do further with these returned material - going to send back vendor, re-work or Scrap?

Is issuance to cost center / project as samples - process is suitable for these basing on your requirements? please check. If this suitable, its suggestioble that issue material to cost center as sample and once return back to stores, do Sample issues reversal and make new issues.

To know which items new issued and still old kept with cost centers, you can check via material movements reports which are issued and returned.

Hi,

Create two reasons for movement like - Material Returned and Material Not returned and record it when you do the issues to the respective User Dept for the applicable movement type in OMJJ.

You can take a report using MB51 at any point of time to find the issues for which old parts has not been returned.

It would be better if you could make Reason for movement a mandatory entry too.
