3700794 - How to process the replacement order with a different value than the original material?

Symptom

In the customer return process (Scope Item BKP), replacement materials may have a different value (higher or lower) than the original material. However, the system automatically generates a free-of-charge replacement order and does not allow the value to be changed for the replacement order.
How to process the replacement order with a different value?

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a return order.
  2. Enter the refund type: Replacement Material.
  3. Save the return order.
  4. Observe that the system generates a free-of-charge replacement order and does not allow the value to be changed for the item.

Resolution

  • Replacement orders are free, and the value of the replacement material cannot be changed. 
  • Workaround: Use the refund type "Credit Memo" for the return order, which means refunding the original amount to the buyer and then asking the buyer to place a new order. 
  • To address the need to change replacement material's value, submit this requirement as a feature request through the Customer Influence Portal under the session SAP S/4HANA Cloud for Sales
