2674931 - Cannot Find Open Quantity to Create new Inbound Delivery for Replacement in Return to Supplier Scenario

Symptom

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Purchase Requests and Orders work center
  2. Go to the Returns to Suppliers view
  3. Select the relevant Returns to Supplier ID
  4. Select Edit and navigate to Items tab
  5. You have given the Follow-up Decision as Replacement
  6. Go to the Inbound Logistics work center
  7. Go to the Purchase Orders view
  8. Select Open Purchase Orders query and search for relevant Purchase Order
  9. You can see that Open Purchase Quantity appears as Zero

Cause

You have created a credit memo with reference to purchase order and supplier invoice. When you create a credit memo for an invoice, the system changes both the quantity and the amount of the original invoice. If you only want to change the amount of the original invoice, create a subsequent credit. Hence there will be no open quantities further to create Inbound Delivery for the product.

Resolution

When you create a credit memo, it is expected that you will take a credit from supplier for the returned quantity. At the same time, if you create return to supplier with replacement, it is not practically correct. Because no supplier will accept to provide replacement as well as credit note. You can cancel the credit memo and then system proposes the replacement quantity Inbound Delivery creation
