Hello,
Up until now, we have rejected DMRs by going to the DMR Processing screen and clicking New, Reject Material. Quite often we are trying to reject parts that we have not assembled or welded properly. These rejects have nothing to do with supplied parts and we can not seek credit from suppliers.
According to the Epicor manual on DMR Processing they state:
" Accepting means the defective material stays in the company for rework or is kept in stock (even if defective). Rejecting means the company will take an extra action such as sending it back to the supplier or asking for credit/refund. "
If my goal is to throw the DMR parts away and I can’t seek credit from a supplier, then how do I process the DMR?
Thank you for your guidance and I appreciate the assistance,
Heide
In the DMR Processing Reject tab, there’s a dropdown labelled “Resolution”. Select “No Further Action” to scrap the items. IIRC, that should move the associated cost of the material to whatever account you specify under the “DMR Write Off” Context under the Inventory COS and WIP type in GL Control Code Maint.
TBH, the nomenclature is rather confusing. Accepting material into rework isn’t really accepting it in any conventional sense of the term. Every human being thinks of that as rejecting the item, but you think it’s possible to fix it.
But in E10 parlance “Reject” means “get this off my books” while “Accept” means “keep on the books”.
I am sorry, but I find no drop down tab labelled “Resolution” or an option to click “no further action” to scrap the item. My screen looks like:
When I enter a rejection action from the menu, the Resolution box lights up.
EDIT, okay, that box only lights up for PO items. For rejected job products in WIP, it will move it to COS (or Mfg. Variance) when you close the job or issue completed qty to stock. Either way, there’s nothing else you should need to do electronically once you reject the parts.
