Understanding Setup Considerations for Purchase Order Returns

Before you process a purchase order return, you must verify that these programs are set up:

  • Sales Ledger Inquiry (P42025).

  • Sales/Purchase Returns - Brazil (P76B805).

  • Sales Order Entry (P4210, version ZJDE7006).

You must also verify that supplier master and purchasing instruction records exist for the supplier to whom you are returning the merchandise.

This table lists some considerations for the purchase order return process:

Program

Considerations

Sales Ledger Inquiry (P42025)

These considerations apply:

  • The Sales Ledger Inquiry program must have a version that matches the version that you use in the Enter Order Detail program. For example, if you use version ZJDE7006 (Purchase Return Brazil) in P4210, you must set up version ZJDE7006 in the Sales Ledger Inquiry program.

  • On the Defaults tab in the processing options, for the Order Type processing option, select the code that represents a purchase order return. Also, consider widening the range of statuses in the Status Code - From and Status Code - Thru processing options. For example, if you enter 400 for the Status Code - From processing option and enter 999 for the Status Code - To processing option, the system searches over a wide range of notas fiscais when it uses the Sales Ledger Inquiry program.

  • On the Credit Memo tab in the processing options, for the Enter the Status Code processing option, enter the last status of the nota fiscal that you create for the merchandise that you return.

  • On the Versions tab of the processing options, you do not need to enter values because the Sales Ledger Inquiry program is called from the Sales Order Entry program.

Sales/Purchase Returns - Brazil (P76B805)

These considerations apply:

  • The Sales/Purchase Returns - Brazil program must have a version that matches the version that you use in the Sales Order Entry program (P4210). For example, if you use version ZJDE7006 (Enter Order Detail) in the Sales Order Entry program, you must set up version ZJDE7006 in the Sales/Purchase Returns - Brazil program.

  • On the Select tab in the processing options, consider widening the range of statuses in the Next Status Code - From and Next Status Code - Thru processing options. For example, if you enter 400 for the Next Status Code - From processing option and enter 999 for the Next Status Code - To processing option, the system searches over a wide range of notas fiscais when it uses the Sales/Purchase Returns - Brazil program.

Sales Order Entry (P4210/ZDJE7006)

These considerations apply to the Defaults tab in the processing options:

  • For the Order Type processing option, enter the code that represents purchase order returns.

  • For the Line Type processing option, enter the code that represents the type of merchandise that you are returning. For example, if you are returning a stock item, enter BS.

  • For the Beginning Status processing option, enter the status that represents Enter Sales Order.

On the Versions tab in the processing options, for the Sales Ledger Inquiry processing option, enter the version that matches the version of the Enter Order Detail program that you are using.
