905.701 - Supplier Returns

To clear the material after it is rejected – you will need to scrap the material to relieve the DMR account.

 

You might want to set up a clearing account for the reason code Return to Vendor.Â

 

When accounting does the Debit Memo – the offset account should be the Return to Vendor account.

DMR reject the material to a reason code that represents Return to Vendor. (That'll clear it out systemically.)

 

You'll have to decide who should own debit memo generation. It can be auto-generated from QC actions or you may choose to have either accounting or the Buyer do it after being notified of the rejection. (The buyer was likely already aware/involved when the parts were 1st Inspect-failed so that is not a bad path - and they will need to likely get an RMA for the return to the supplier - as well as reordering the material).

 

Misc Ship to document the shipment of returned goods.

Yes we do, we currently handle all our customer returns in that module but can't seem to find a good way how to handle supplier returns.

Are you using the quality module?

 

That is the first place to start.

For supplier returns, bring them into DMR and process as a reject.  You have resolution options to request a debit memo, correction invoice, require supplier credit or do nothing. 

 

Once you close that out you can use Miscellaneous Shipment and pull the DMR # through to auto-populate the return to the supplier and print out a packing slip to go with it.

 

If you request a debit memo then let your AP person know so they can pull it into a group.  They can process that against the supplier instead of waiting for a credit memo.  I would only do that if you know for sure the debit memo and credit memo will offset from the supplier.  The online help for DMR should help you decide what actions work best for your environment.
