RE: RMA for DRP

Off the top of my head, if you set up all of the DRP resupply relationships
in reverse (and this could be a substantial effort) then you can process an
order in reverse.  The only problem is depending on your company
configuration, there might be a problem because you would have 2 different
AR balances since you sold to 2 different customers (that should net out).

        Is there any possibility of processing a resupply order in the
reverse direction?

I asked this same question back about a year ago through this same forum 
with no response, and since then I have discussed this issue at length with 
SSA Australia, and basically what I have learned is that there is no 
functionality to process an RMA for a re-supply order based on the 
assumption that you would not want to incur the additional cost of a return 
within the same company.  You would probably transfer the inventory or 
resale it, but not actually return it.  That sounds okay, but I do think 
there are legitimate business reasons to want to do this.  Here in China we 
have reasons beyond normal western practices to want to do this, and so we 
have to work around the system in a fairly manual intensive manner in order 
to accomplish the return.  At this point, we do not have GL transactions 
hooked up and so we haven't had to address that side of it.  If you really 
think about what would be involved in creating the RMA on a resupply, it 
would be quite difficult for SSA because you have to deal with the resupply 
relationships and the special inventory transactions (IR, II, and H) and how

to reverse them, and then the resupply warehouses and confirmations.  My 
guess is it boils down to the value of the functionality (and just how much 
it would be used), as compared to the difficulty and hours required to 
program it. 

If there is further interest in the details on the manual process we use, I 
can look our process up and let you know what we do.  It may or may not fit 
your business requirements.

Ver 6.04 MM 

Is anybody aware of any problems to create RMAs based on invoices for DRP 
orders (type 9)? 
E.g. no invoices listed in 'Customer/Document List' or 'Invalid Receipt 
Warehouse'. 


Thanks in advance.
