Sap Sale Module: RE: [sap-log-sd] POD for Return Sales Order

Thanks for the reply.

I am not sure I completely understand your email so I will try one piece at a time. REN is not an "inbound delivery category" - this process is intended to pertain to returns. Our returns has an item category of REN so I presumed that would be where I would start.

I do not get the error message referenced. It appears that your error message is related to the "Automatic POD" in configuration. I did not select anything in that field for two reasons: 1 - my normal functioning process has that field blank and 2 - I get the error message you reference when I try to select V, T or M. Is that the condition under which you get this message?

We do have reasons for deviation but the Return Sales Order does not require/ask for a "Reason for Rejection" - do you see that as a problem?

The story behind this request is that we currently have an external "Product Complaint" system that we are trying to discontinue. One of the problems is that we need a way to account for scrap on the return. I presumed that we may be able to use the POD process for that purpose rather than have to process with some other scrap transaction.

What other information can I provide?

Thank you

Hi Bob,

After doing some initial testing, during step - assign POD relevance to dlv item category, REN putting POD automatic = V, POD relevant = X. I am getting below error message. Please check this step.

Further investigating "Inbound delivery category"; I donot think REN is an inbound dlv category. An example of inbound delivery is EL.

I am assuming that your normal POD process works Ok and you have set up "reasons for deviation".

Please update me with your comments, more business process information (about RE + POD process); it would help.

You could also ask this question in the SAP WM forum.

ERROR MESSAGE -
Automatic POD field wrongly maintained
Message no. W0154

Diagnosis
Correct the wrong entry in the "Automatic POD" field.

Procedure
You selected the "POD relevant" field. In this case, you only have to maintain the "Automatic POD" field if the delivery item category is an inbound delivery category. Otherwise, it should not be maintained at all.
