Capture Expenditure Information in Project Costing for Sales Returns

You can capture expenditure information in Project Costing for sales returns. You will continue to bill your customers from Oracle Project Management. The RMA Receipt transactions are processed and accounted in Costing. The costs are then interfaced to Oracle Project Portfolio Management (PPM).

Sales returns can be referenced RMA or unreferenced RMA. Referenced RMA is costed using the original sales order issue cost. Unreferenced RMA is costed based on the value set for the Unreferenced RMA Receipt Cost option set in the cost profile associated with the item cost profile.

Original Sales Order Shipments from Common Inventory

Let's see how the sales returns into a project striped inventory are accounted where the original shipments are from a common inventory.

In the case of an intracompany shipment (the shipping organization and the selling organization are same), these accounting distributions are created for RMA Receipt.

Sales Return of Drop Ship Sales Order

In the case of drop ship, we can have two scenarios, one where the customer-facing organization and supplier-facing organization are same and another where they're different.

These accounting distributions are created in the case of a sales return into a project striped inventory where the customer-facing organization and supplier-facing organization are same.

Sales Returns not Interfaced to PPM

Sales returns aren't interfaced to PPM for the cases listed here:

  • Sales returns are received into a common inventory instead of a project striped inventory. These returns aren't considered as part of the project and, therefore, not interfaced to PPM.

  • Sales returns are received into an organization that's different from the original shipping organization and the receiving organization isn't PDSC enabled.

  • Sales returns are received into an organization that's different from the original shipping organization and the project isn't valid in the receiving organization.
