Returns to vendor
The system takes account of returns items of consignment goods in the transactions for creating outbound deliveries (for example,
VL10B
). The items contain the special stock indicator
Consignment
and the
Special Stock Partner
(key of the vendor for whom the special stock is being carried). If you use Warehouse Management, it takes account of this data when creating a transport order for picking.
Deliveries generated from returns items of consignment goods are assigned the delivery type
Vendor Returns
.
When creating a goods issue, the system copies the special stock type and the vendor from the delivery. The stock is booked out of the consignment stock for the selected vendor.

Features
Store returns
The following special features apply to the
Return of Vendor Consignment Goods
function in SAP Retail:
In the returns purchase order, you do not set the consignment indicator. Instead, stock determination determines the stock category from which the system posts the goods:
You cannot return goods that the system transferred from the consignment stock to your own stock back to the consignment stock.
No stock split is allowed at purchase order item level: You cannot combine an item from consignment stock with your own stock. Nor can you combine an item from consignment stock with different special stock partners.
You cannot make partial deliveries for returns to different stock categories. If the system has posted a goods issue for a return from consignment stock, it must also post the subsequent goods issue for this return from the consignment stock. This also applies if you have cancelled the first goods issue.
You post the (negative) goods receipt before the (negative) goods issue. If the goods issue posting involves unique stock, the system determines the vendor using stock determination.
Returns to vendor
You can process items from returns orders for consignment stock using shipping processing.
