2874179 - Cannot Assign Service Order ID as Reference to Customer Return

Symptom

Using the Return with Repair scenario, the created Service Order cannot be assigned to the Customer Return.

Environment

 SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Sales Order work center.
  2. Select the Returns View.
  3. Open Return ABC (ABC represents the Return ID).
  4. Navigate to the Items tab.
  5. Click the Assign Reference button and enter the Service Order DEF (DEF represents the Service Order ID).

A warning message appears: "Product 123 in Customer Return differs from referenced product in Service Order." (123 represents the Product ID).
