Vendor return not possible after Putaway in EWM

[former_member492475]

Hi,

I have the following business process:

PO is created in ECC -> EGR is distributed to EWM -> Inbound Delivery is created in EWM -> GR is posted in EWM -> Stock is put into final storage bin

(ECC 6.0 / S/4 EWM 1909)

Now I need to create return deliveries for certain inbound deliveries.

When I open the IBD in /SCWM/PRDI and go to Follow-On Function -> Return to Vendor VL60 in ECC can only be called in display mode and I get the following message "ASN has been created in external Warehouse. Only display possible".

When I call VL60 manually in ECC I get the same message.

When I try to create a return delivery via MIGO with reference to the material document I get the following error:

Unable to update inbound delivery since already distributed to dec.system

Surely there must be a way to return the goods to the vendor, yet nothing seems to work..

Best regards,

Tim

Have a look at OSS note 2551912

Tim,

take your PO, add a confirmation key which allows creating an inbound delivery to your item (e.g. key 0004) and create an inbound delivery for that PO (or PO item) using VL31N.

That delivery is distributed to EWM. In EWM you post GR for the inbound delivery. After that, use the follow-on function in /SCWM/PRDI to start your returns process. If that triggers a remote call of VL60 on the ERP-side you are fine and can create a vendor returns delivery from there (which again is distributed to EWM).

If that works your returns process works in general and my guess that the returns process does not work with EGR is getting more likely. But, as I said, it's a guess as I have not tried a returns process in combination with EGR.

Best regards

Hi,

have you tried to run the process without EGR? Does that work?

Seems like that VL60 does not "like" the EGR process. You could also implement the BAdI for /SCWM/PRDI to call another ERP transaction instead of VL60 and work from there.

Hi Andreas,

how would I go about that? Wouldn't I need to post the GR in ERP if I want to work without EGR or is there another method?

Best Regards,

Tim
