How to handle vendor return?

["Roel Bakker" <RBakker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear BPCS colleagues.

We are on BPCS 6.1.1 and are wondering how to handle vendor returns. We
believe the VR transaction is useless, as it does not adjust the order
and quantity costed (in case an invoice has been received).

We are now thinking of using the B transaction for items to be sent back
to the supplier: supplier will get a customer number in BPCS. We will
make a customer order (with a new order class, recognizable for our
Finance Department), pick, ship and send an invoice the supplier instead
of wating for an credit note.

Please let me know your opinion ( or the method(s) used in your
business.


Thanx,
