Scrap Returned Goods
Explanation
Use this function to scrap returned material that is defective or that, for
any reason, is not going to be returned to inventory. You can scrap the received
parts from the Return Material Authorization, Return
Material Authorization Lines,
the Receive
Authorized Returns or the
Receipt page.
Note that for catch unit enabled parts, you must specify the catch quantity
scrapped. This applies when you scrap returned material.
There are two different procedures used for scrapping parts. One for parts
returned from external customers, that is a customer that belongs to another
company other than to which the site entering the return material authorization
(RMA) belongs (this could also be a customer connected to a site that belongs
to another company). The other procedure is for internal customers that are
connected to a site that belongs to the same company to which the site where
the RMA is entered belongs.
When returning from an internal customer,
parts will be stored in internal order transit during the transportation between
sites. A scrap can only be done by picking parts that exist in internal order
transit, and scrapping them.
Prerequisites
- The RMA line must have the Released or Partially Received status.
- The part to be scrapped must be an inventory part.
- If the part is connected to a serial lifecycle group, the serial number
must not already exist for another part in the same group, except if the
Operational Status of the existing part serial is
Renamed, or automatic serial rename has been defined on the
Serial Lifecycle Group page. The below conditions must be
fulfilled in order for automatic serial rename to occur:
- An automatic serial rename record must exist where the From Part
is the part for which the serial number currently exists, the
To Part is the returned part and the Process
is set to Return Material Authorization.
- The scrap is required to generate an inventory history transaction
with transaction code OERET-SPNO - Scrapping of Returned
Material - Orderless.
- The Operational Status of the existing part serial
is not Renamed.
- The Current Position of the existing part
serial must be either:
- Returned to Supplier.
- Contained and the Current Position Top
Part must be Returned to Supplier,
Issued (to a customer order, project deliverables or
without order connection) or Unlocated (and the top
parent Operational Status must not be
Scrapped).
- Issued (to a customer order, project
deliverables or without order connection).
- Unlocated and the Operational
Status is Disassembled.
- The serial number must not be defined as a VIM, Equipment, Tool
Equipment or a Plant Design object.
System Effects
- The parts are entered as scrapped.
- Postings and inventory transactions are created when parts are scrapped.
After this you can no longer update prices and customer order line
information on the RMA line.
- If the directly delivered material is directly retuned to the supply
site's inventory via a receipt RMA, then a return record will be created
against the respective purchase order in the sales site.
If the returned part is connected to a serial lifecycle group,
and the serial number already exists for a part for which automatic serial
rename is defined, the existing part serial is renamed to the returned part. i.e.:
- The Current Position of the serial number for the
existing part on the Part Serial page is set
to Unlocated and the Current Position
to Renamed.
- The rename is logged on the Part Serial Rename History
page with the Rename Reason set to Serial
Lifecycle Rename.
- Document and technical class
characteristics attached to the part serial of the renamed part
are moved to the part serial of the returned part.
