Dear Experts,
We handle return to vendor process (after invoice - non excise material-no need to ) by these steps:
- Create an item in PO with return to vendor and free of charge indicator --> Return material to vendor using 161 document
- Create an item in PO with free of charge indicator --> Do GR the substitution material
The point is:
- We don't know the original PO so we create a new one with these two line items.
- The time between returning to vendor and doing GR for substitution is a few months and meanwhile we may do GI.
Based on my information this process is not standard and we have some problems:
1. There is no connection between the 161 document and 101(GR for substitution)- we need a report of the material which returned and not substituted yet.
2. If we do GI the material meanwhile it will affect the average price which is not desirable.
How can we overcome these issues?
Thanks in advance.
