RE: 'Integrated' Outside Operations VR ????

   Bonnie...

    

   why are you trying to perform a 'VR' in the first place ??

    

   it's been my experience that the return to vendor process and procedures
   needs to be examined closely and documented, particularly if you are
   attempting a 3-way match in A/P.

     There are 3 scenarios you can come across...

    

   1. Item is caught in QC, (not RPed)  RD and or maybe an RI ??

   PO open.

   2.  Item was RPed to stock,  PO may be open or closed.

   3. Item was issued to a work order, PO closed

    

   to accommodate these situations with as few procedures, complications  as
   possible I would recommend that you perform the I/M transactions as a
   separate independent action.  I for one would vote to always RP, before
   the return so as to always perform an 'SS' (keeps it consistent).

   the A/P invoice is matched on the original receipt, and booked, the return
   is handled as an independent DM against the invoice, keeps it clean and
   well documented.

    if issued to an MO, negative the IP, SS

   then I'd close always close the original PO, never  re-receive. OPen a new
   PO if for the re-supply, and start over.  This keeps A/P very HAPPY....
   the shorter the life cycle of a PO the better !!

   Bottom line is there are a lot of variation to consider, so try to keep it
   as simple as possible.... remember to consider the whole procurement
   cycle..thru A/P

   Hope this helps

   Good Luck

   Are you able to do Vendor Return on misc. or service item? This is
   the received 'item' in outside services. Did I miss one of the
   additional PTFs? Bonnie

   Bonnie,
   Vendor Returns (VR) go to IMHIST as a normal IM transaction. A couple of
   notes: if the item has been received to stock (RP), the VR transaction
   must
   have a warehouse location entered in order to reduce onhand quantity by VR
   quantity. If you have only done a reciept to dock (RD), the VR does NOT
   affect onhand quantity.

   We are still tip-toeing around the Outside Operations enhancement.
   How are you handling vendor return transactions (VR)?
   We would like to force a VR transaction into IMHIST so our vendor quality
   reports
   can track this information.
   Thanks for your ideas.
