Return Inbound Purchase Order

You can set the system to determine the return inbound purchase order date by specifying a value in the RMA Generation Days field in the Rental Constants program (P54R01). The system adds the value that you specify in this constant to the system date to determine the Return Material Authorization (RMA) date. The Rental Contract Related Order Generation program (R54R100) uses this system-calculated date and generates the return inbound purchase order when the rental period expires. To use this default system-calculated date for your rental contracts, you must select the Use RMA Days option in the Rental Action Definition program (P54R02).

To process a return inbound purchase order, the Select On Date value for the rental contract detail record must be less than or equal to this RMA date. The system retrieves the Select On Date value from the Action Details table (F54R021).
