Hi,

As it was explained you can control the stock type through the movement type.

Movement type is controlled trough delivery item category which is controlled trough schedule line category.

Please check your settings in:

SPRO > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Schedule lines > Define Schedule Line Categories

SPRO > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Schedule lines > Assign Schedule Line Categories

(so you have to assign the proper schedule line category to the sales item category; in schedule line item category you can define the movement type)

SAP online help:

http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a5/63360a43a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Depending on how Customizing for Sales is configured (the movement type is configured in the step Define Schedule Line Category), the delivery is posted to the following stock:
- Blocked stock returns (non-valuated, not unrestricted-use) (movement type 651) 
- Unrestricted-use stock (movement type 653) 
- Quality inspection stock (movement type 655) 
- Blocked stock (movement type 657)
If the given quantity is posted to blocked stock returns first, you can make a manual goods movement posting in the Inventory Management component to transfer the quantity to valuated stock.

Please be aware that "restricted-use" stock is not a real stock type (similarily to unrestricted, QI, blocked). "Restricted -use" stock is the status of the batch hat can be changed in MSC2N.

Please check these:

SPRO > Batch Management >Specify Batch Level and Activate Batch Status Management

SPRO > Batch Management > Batch Status Management > Customer Exit to Determine the Initial Status of Batches

(Please notice that you can set the status of a new batch only via user exit EXIT_SAPLV01D_001 )

    restricted use and unrestricted use

The control is in your schedule line. Go to VOV6, select your schedule line category and execute. There maintain either 653 or 655 movement type and save. If you maintain 653, as and when you generate PGR, the respective stock will increase in unrestricted. On the other hand, if you maintain 655 movement type, the respective stock will be blocked for quality clearance.

thanks

D/Mohana,

After the Invoice i.e. OR->LF->F2 the settings for Return follows:

Take all the following Standard doc type and do all the assignment like OR->LF->F2

RE is the Sales doc type

LR is the Return Delivery type

RE is the Return Billing type (Credit Memo for Return)

But here the document flow, something like

RE--->LR (Return Sales doc to Return Delivery, If u r taking ur value instead of OR & LR, do the Copy Ctrl)

During delivery there will be PGR(Posting goods receipt) not PGI (issue), then settings is correct.

RE--->RE(Return Sales doc to Credit Memo for Return, For ur value do the copy control)

After Return Invoice (Credit Memo for Return) post/move the items to unrestricted use i.e. Return material will put into the Storage Location back Through T.Code MB1B and mvmt type 453----

---

> give ur material and Qty. then save it.

Wish u got ur solution, kindly confirm me

Hi Friend,

In the sales return process

Returns will happen due to Defective goods

In that scenario customer may ask to resent the goods or he asks for the credit memo

If you need to resend the goods the process is

First of all you need to create a return order with reference to sales order /Billing document

In Standard the return order is RE

Create the retrn delivery for the retrn ordre RE which is LR

And do PGR with movement type 651 now check in MMBE the stock at returns.

If you want to send the good parts again then create the document with SDF

If you want to settle the customer with Credit memo

Then do the billing in VF01

You can maintain the return material as unrestricted usage again in MB1B with the Movement type 457.

hope it is clear,

regards,

User Sales Order type "RE" for creating return order. then create delivery order with reference to that order (re). afterwards perform post goods receipt on that delivery order. the stock will be automatically posted to return stock.
