GR reversal in SRM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are on SRM 5.0 ECS SP13.

I want to know the Return delivery for a PO is possible only based on the CONFIRMATION BASED INVOICE VERIFICATION indicator or the OMBZ settings also determine whether a GR reversal cna be done?I also need some clarifications w.r.t SRM 5.0:

1.Is GR reversal same as RETURN DELIVERY in SRM?

2.If the indicator CONFIRMATION BASED INVOICE VERIFICATION is checked in PO(which I assume by default comes from the vendor master),then does that mean GR can only be reversed/return delivery can be created but the GR cannot be deleted even if the invoice is posted or is it the opposite?

3.Also as mentioned in 2,if the check is already paid ,then what actions are possible?Cna invoice be deleted?Can GR be deleted?Can return delivery be created?How much dependancy is on the indicator CONFIRMATION BASED INVOICE VERIFICATION ?

4.What should the settings be in OMBZ in ECC to influence the actions in SRM?

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi,

Confirmation based invoice verification means you need to have confirmation against a PO before creating an invoice for the PO.

GR reversal is controlled in backend MM settings. GR reversal is allowed in all MM system as everybody needs it.

GR reversal or return delivery is not exactly same.

Use of GR reversal: Your store keeper creates a good receipt . But, he later on realized that he had made some mistakes in posting the goods receipt. So, he will cancel the receipt document. The system takes 102 goods movement for that.

Use of return delivery: You have received goods against a purchase order. Later on, during inspection, you find that 20 out of 100 itmes are poor in quality and you want to return it to your supplier. Here, you will trigger a return delivery against your purchase order. The system takes 122 goods movement for that.

The system never allows one to delete any transaction document like goods receipt or invoice receipt irrespective any follow-on doucment is posted or not. It is against compliance.

if the check is paid or payment is made in any other form, you can still go ahead with cancelling the invoice (in the process, the system will created a cancellation invoice which will hit the supplier account with negative amount of the invoice value) to get the invoice value adjusted in the future dealing. Then, you can go for GR reversal or return delivery. Once it is done, you can manually close the PO if you are not expecting any future delivery.

I hope, it helps you.
