Summary :
When managing returns orders in SAP, whether by plant-to-plant stock transfer or vendor returns, there is confusion in how deliveries and purchase orders are processed for materials planning. This duplicity affects available quantities, particularly noticeable in returns to vendors where both the purchase order and delivery unintentionally reduce the quantity. The solution includes customizing the delivery relevancy in materials planning, particularly ensuring the delivery type settings (NLR for stock transfers and RL for returns to vendors) are correct to prevent planning discrepancies. This functionality is influenced by the ‘Returns’ indicator, which does not adjust sender and destination details in the system.
Key words :
'standard' stock transfer order, returns order indicator 'returns', stock transfer returns order, ensure consistent data, item category determination, indicator 'returns item', stock transfer case, standard system nlr, standard system nlrn, expected issue element
