Scrap Returned Goods

Explanation

Use this function to scrap returned material that is defective or that, for any reason, is not going to be returned to inventory. You can scrap the received parts from the Return Material Authorization, Return Material Authorization Lines or the Receive Authorized Returns window.

Note that for catch unit enabled parts, you must specify the catch quantity scrapped. This applies when you scrap returned material.

There are two different procedures used for scrapping parts. One for parts returned from external customers, that is a customer that belongs to another company other than to which the site entering the return material authorization (RMA) belongs (this could also be a customer connected to a site that belongs to another company). The other procedure is for internal customers that are connected to a site that belongs to the same company to which the site where the RMA is entered belongs.

When returning from an internal customer, parts will be stored in internal order transit during the transportation between sites. A scrap can only be done by picking parts that exist in internal order transit, and scrapping them.

Handling RMA for an external customer is explained below.

In a line in the lower part of the window, enter the quantity of items being scrapped for a specific scrapping cause. It is possible to add more to an existing scrapping cause, e.g., if you are scrapping a part with the scrapping cause Broken and there already exists a line in this tab window with parts that have been scrapped with the scrapping cause Broken, then you do not enter a new line. You simply add the part to be scrapped to the already existing line by adding the quantity in the Qty to Scrap column. One received item can only be scrapped with one scrapping cause.

Prerequisites

• The RMA line must have the Released status.
• The part to be scrapped must be an inventory part.

System Effects

• The parts are entered as scrapped.
• Postings and inventory transactions are created when parts are scrapped. After this you can no longer update update prices and customer order line information on the RMA line.
• If the directly delivered material is directly retuned to the supply site's inventory via a receipt RMA, then a return record will be created against the respective purchase order in the sales site.
