The Suggested Return P/Os process populates the Suggested Return P/O Queue for each buy line you run the process for that has products that are considered overstock.
Note: You can also create a report that contains the contents of the queue and e-mail, fax, print, or send it to your Hold file.
Use the Suggested Return P/O Queue to review the overstock products, and to convert the suggested purchase orders into actual return purchase orders. Returns are negative purchase orders. Using this process always creates a new return purchase order.
Note: The overstock quantity takes into consideration products that have future committed sales. For example, if you have 10 of a product to return, but 4 are on an open sales order that will ship on a future date, only 6 of the product are shown as overstock.
To convert a suggested return into an actual return purchase order:
Display the Suggested Return P/O Queue and select the buy line you want to convert into an actual return purchase order.
From the Edit menu, select Convert to Actual POs to display the Convert Suggested to Actual Return P/O window.
The system populates Branch and Line fields with the branch and buy line information from the Suggested Return P/O Queue window, however, you can update them if necessary.
In the Vendor field, select the vendor to which you are returning the items in the buy line.
Select the Include Non-ReturnableProducts check box to include the products within the buy line that are set as non-returnable. This field defaults to deselected so non-returnable products are not included in the return purchase order.
Click OK to create an actual purchase order and display the Purchase Order Entry window, allowing you to further modify or cancel the order.
Modify the order as necessary, and process the order.
