PP/MM - Return Purchase Order

Dear AFS Community,

I would like to understand how returns are handled in actual business and how return PO is used to suffice this requirement.
More importantly I would like to understand how MRP should treat this return PO. Requirement or Stock ?
Any kinds of inputs in this regard are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Mahesh

Hello Mahesh,

Vendor returns is not a core business process for your company. In addition, for most of our subsidiaries it makes no sense to send goods back to the vendor because of the transportation costs etc.. They have to find other ways to deal with the (faulty) goods.

Therefore, I can only tell you that we do not use Return POs (yet). I am only aware of one subsidiary located close to some local vendors. They are actually using the option of creating a return delivery via transaction MIGO (via delivery) in order to inform the warehouse to send goods back to the local vendor.

If you have any information about the benefits (& limitations) of the Return Purchase order, I would appreciate if you can forward it to me.

Kind regards,
Klaus

Hello Klaus,

Yes, Return PO can be created when the good are in blocked stock since these two are separate functions.
