Component Returns During Material Transactions

You can return asset-tracked components, full-lot components, full plain asset-tracked components, non-serialized – non-asset tracked items, and predefined serial components from the hierarchy.

Here are the details:

Return asset tracked components from the hierarchy with material demand: You can complete a single return transaction with the same material demand without having to issue the material first.

You can return materials from these two user interfaces:

• The Material Transaction Page from the Review Maintenance Dispatch List task
• The Issue and Return Materials From Inventory page

Return a full lot component from the hierarchy: You can return a full lot component from the hierarchy report during the material transaction. This allows sync between the quantity in the Manage Asset page with that of the Inventory On-Hand quantity.

Return full plain asset-tracked component from the hierarchy: Plain items refer to those that are neither serial nor lot-controlled. Use the Replace check box at the row level to indicate that the plain item quantity installed on the hierarchy needs to be replaced during the return transaction. If this check box isn't selected, it indicates that the full quantity of plain components continue to remain in the hierarchy.

Return non-serialized, non-asset tracked items from the hierarchy with a quantity higher than one: You can return more than one never-issued, non-asset-tracked components that happen to be lot-controlled and plain items. Use the To Transact drop down or directly enter the quantity you want to return.

Return predefined serial components: You can return predefined serial components to inventory from the Manage Material Transaction page. The application shows those serial numbers as set to the Defined and Not in Use status in inventory.
