Oracle Fusion SCM – Process Supplier Returns without Receipt

by

When we implement Oracle Fusion ERP/SCM Cloud applications, we will be converting only open purchase orders (POs) that have not yet been received in the legacy system. We won’t be converting closed or closed-for-receiving POs in general. We will also be performing an on-hand conversion to bring inventory/stock from the legacy system into Oracle Fusion ERP/SCM.

In some cases, enterprises need to return materials to suppliers for various reasons (such as damaged items or inspection failures), including items that were received in their legacy system. Even the shipping document is also required for these returns. In this case, Oracle Inventory Cloud provides functionality to return material to suppliers without a PO receipt or PO using “Manage Supplier Returns Without Receipt” task. Below are the detailed steps.

  1. We can return material to suppliers without a receipt only from subinventory that’s not reservable. Please make sure that you move the return materials to the Non-Reservable sub-inventory (Define the sub-inventory with the appropriate material status, but not the active material status)

2. Create Supplier Return without Receipt

Navigation: Supply Execution > Inventory Management > Tasks: Receipts > Manage Supplier Returns Without Receipt

  • Click on + (Create) under Search
    • Create Supplier Return Without Receipt UI :
      • Header: Enter Supplier, Supplier Site and Description
      • Line: Enter Return line items, including sub-inventory and return quantity etc.,

Note: For supplier return lines with the Physical Material Return Required option selected, we must physically ship the material back to the supplier through the Fusion Shipping processes.

  • Save & Submit >> Note down the Supply Return Number – 8003

3. Ship the return materials using Manage Shipment Lines task

Navigation: Supply Execution > Inventory Management > Tasks: Shipments> Manage Shipment Lines

Search for and view supplier returns without receipts by selecting Unreferenced Supplier Return as the order type in the search criteria.

Select the shipment line under Search Results, Enter Shipped Quantity, Tracking Number etc., then do Actions > Ship Confirm

  • Assigns shipment number and the shipment line is shipped, then interfaced to Inventory

4. Check the line status in the “Supplier Return Without Receipt” UI for your supplier return number >> will be Fulfilled.

5. Manually create a debit memo for supplier returns without a receipt.

Note:

  1. Intercompany transactions and consigned inventory transactions aren’t supported for supplier returns without a receipt.
  2. Supplier return transactions are costed at the current item cost.
  3. You can use the Supplier Returns REST service to search, create, edit, cancel, delete, or submit the supplier return transactions.
  4. Only stockable and transactable items are eligible for supplier returns without a receipt.
