Return to Vendor distribution from EER to EWM

[former_member709752]

Good evening all,

first of all, i hope you are all doing well in the current covid situation.

I have successfully processed an inbound delivery in EWM, and now I want to return it via EWM. For this I work in the inbound delivery /SCWM/PRDI via subsequent functions "Return to vendor".
I can create this document successfully. I receive a success message with reference that an outbound delivery was created in ERP.
This can also be found there correctly with the document type RLL and position type RLLN. These were also maintained accordingly in Customizing, see on the following screens.

However, this generated outbound delivery/return in ERP cannot be processed in EWM. This return is nowhere to be found there, so it has not been distributed. Does anyone know how the distribution is controlled and what else may need to be maintained to process the return in EWM?

Return to Vendor PosType RLLN

DocType: RLL

Mapping in customizing:

I am grateful for any advice.

Regards, Max

Please try to mark "Delivery Split-WhNo" checkbox in SPRO>Logistics Execution>>Shipping>>Deliveries>>Define Delivery Types> Transaction code OVLK.

PS: Most probably your problem will be solved with above proposed solution but after that point you may face another problem during the picking of goods for return, as your warehouse task will look for F1 stock type, on the other hand your actual stock might be in F2 or in one of blocked stock.

There are possible ways to overcome this problem

1) Instead creating return delivery, you can use Purchase Order Return by creating return purchase order and you can arrange your Storage Location and stock type. In that case, your ERP delivery/item type will be RL/RLN and IM movement type 163. Please note that, your Business Partner should have CRM002 and CRM004 identification Types defined in general role and "Return Supplier" checkbox should be marked in "Additional Purchasing Data" part in Vendor role for your purchasing organization.

2) You can use stock determination as @shailesh.mishra5 mentioned in one of his blogs Collision of Stock Types in Vendor Return . Please note that using of stock determination permanently for pick activity may have risk of selling wrong stock type.

3) In comment part of the same blog, as @mehmet.unal mentioned you can use userexit EXIT_SAPL0VRF_001. Please note that you may also ask Storage Location to user by changing code.

Thank you very much for your fast response.

This was exactly the solution I was looking for. Delivery Split - WhNo was missing in my config.

Also thank you for the further explanation!

Best regards, Max
