Summary :
This SAP Note elaborates on the technical and business processes associated with store returns in SAP environments. It specifically differentiates between 'Store return' and other types such as 'Plant return' or 'Purchase order return', aligning terminologies by referring to the initial issuer as 'Distribution center' and the returning entity as 'Store'. Key aspects include the generation of stock transfer orders marked with a 'returns item' indicator, the absence of original purchase order references in the returns process, and the implementation of returns via movement types like 101 converted to 161. The document flow involves creating deliveries without referencing original purchase orders, setting specific delivery types for store vs. cross-company returns, and handling of returns using movement type configurations for transit stocks. This note emphasizes the need for precise planning and execution of store returns processes to accommodate business and operational requirements.

Key words :
special stock transport order document, cross-company code store return 4, returns order/store return due, cross-company-code cases, complete stock removal process, special delivery item categories, internal credit memo ig, cross-company-code case, goods receipt/issue slips, cross-company-code returns
