Removal of Items

You might need to remove (disposition) items from a receipt route. For example, you can return items to the supplier or reject items that do not pass inspection. You must use one of these categories to indicate the quantity of items that you want to remove from the receipt route:

• Returns

• Reworks

• Scrap

• Rejects

• Adjustments

You can enter text about the removal of items for any of the categories.

Before you remove items from a receipt route, you might want to review the sample requirements that are set up for a receipt route. You can also review item specifications that are set up for a receipt route.

After you remove items from a receipt route, the system subtracts the quantities that you enter from the quantity at the current operation. If you need to reverse the removal, you must use the Ledger Inquiry program. For example, if you removed items by classifying them as scrap and then later decide to use the items, you can reverse the removal transaction. The system adds the removed quantity back to the receipt route and creates the appropriate journal entries, if necessary.

The system creates journal entries for the items that you remove if you have specified that the removal category is payable. For example, if you specified that the scrap category is payable, the system creates journal entries for items that you remove due to scrap.

If you decide to return an item, the system automatically credits the original purchase order. You can generate a new purchase order line to replace the returned items. The system adds the line to the original purchase order.
