After Usage Decision: Return to Vendor
Following the quality inspection, you have made the usage decision in Quality Management (QM) to send the entire inspection lot, including the sample, back to the vendor.
Prerequisites
At the time when you make the usage decision in QM, the total quantity of the received material for the inspection lot is still in the goods receipt area (GR area).
You have set the indicator Dyn. Bin material doc for the selected requirement type in the Customizing for Warehouse Management under Activities → Transfers →
Define Requirements Types, in order to set up the dynamic coordinate "material document number" in the goods receipt interface for processing the inspection lot.Process Flow
The quant in the goods receipt interim storage area has stock category Q.
You decide to send the total quantity of the material received back to the vendor.
The system finds the quants and transfer requirements that belong to the inspection lot on the basis of the dynamic coordinate "material document number" in the goods receipt interim storage area.
If you set up the system so that the movement type for return deliveries to the vendor also uses the dynamic coordinate "material document number", the two interim quants in the goods receipt and goods issue interim storage areas balance each other out, and the activity is closed on the WMS side.
Result
Following the quality inspection, and as a result of the usage decision, you have returned the material received to the vendor.
