SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Sales Order Work Center.
2. Go to the Return View.
3. Search for Return YYY (YYY stands for the Return ID) and select it.
4. Click Edit, then View All.

In the General tab, you notice that the Status is In Process. The Invoice Status is the same.

1. Go to the Document Flow.
2. Open Inbound Delivery AAA (AAA is the Delivery ID).
3. Click View all.

You can see that Delivery Status is finished and the Cancellation Status is canceled.

This is the expected system behavior.
Cancellation of Inbound Deliveries is not followed by an automatic cancellation of the associated Customer Returns.
This is to support cases where after the Inbound Delivery is canceled it is still necessary to release the return with a Credit Memo

To finish processing your Customer Returns please follow these steps:

1. Go to the Sales Order Work Center.
2. Go to the Return View.
3. Search for Return YYY and select it.
4. Click Edit, then View All.
5. Navigate to the Items tab.
6. Stay on the Details subtab.
7. Open the Reason for Rejection dropdown menu, select the appropriate reason and save your document

Your business Process for Customer Returns is now finished and it is not necessary to release them without a Credit Memo.
