  • We have a customer order with a line that is Purchase Order Direct. The PO created from the line was received.
  • We then needed to return the part to the supplier. An RMA was created for the line but to return to inventory instead of return to supplier. The RMA was completed.

Is there a way to do a supplier return of the part from inventory?

  • The RMA cannot be undone.
  • A return to supplier cannot be done from the PO receipt because it was direct delivery.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi ​@hmccabe,

  I think we can use Supplier Shipment functionality to satisfy your requirement.

thank you ​@Piyal Perera 

Could you please advise as to how to create a Supplier Shipment? I don’t see an option to create one.

Hi ​@hmccabe,

  IFS Supplier Shipment functionality is part of the PURCH (Purchasing) component in IFS. It supports shipping processes to suppliers, such as handling returns to a supplier from inventory. There is a page ‘Supplier Shipment’ as well. 

Currently, I don’t have access to any IFS environments, but according to the IFS documentation this functionality available. Please refer Cloud documentation for more information.

regards,

Piyal
