Hi All,
I've read lots of old posts regarding the returns STO process......but haven't yet found anything that solves my issue.
In a nutshell, the process I'm trying to build is this:
- Return back to factory is initiated in EWM
- Direct outbound del is created in EWM
- In ERP, returns STO and corresponding returns delivery is created
- In ERP MIGO is performed to post the goods into in-transit from EWM plant
- In ERP post goods receipt is performed against the returns delivery
- Goods now posted from EWM plant to receiving (originating) plant.
So far the solution works as far as the returns STO and returns delivery are created automatically in ERP.
And here is where we get the error - when trying to perform MIGO we get the message: "Posting with reference to pur. order only possible for integrated whse" I've tried to reference the delivery but I can't get it to work.
So the question is: Can this returns STO process work with an EWM managed sloc? Is there a work around process?
SAP seem to suggest that if you are returning from a warehouse managed sloc then you should use a normal STO process (ie do not use the returns indicator)...........but the issue this causes us (and the reason for trying to set up above process) is that we often process obsolete materials.....and as standard, procurement is not allowed for such material statuses.
If anyone has any hints / tips they would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Guy
