Create Replacement Order
Explanation
A replacement order can only be created for parts that are
returned for credit or scrapped for credit.
You can reach the
Create Replacement Order
dialog box from
Receipt and related tabs. In the
dialog box, you can view the quantity returned for credit
or scrapped for credit, the quantity already on a
replacement order, and a suggestion for the quantity to replace. The latter field is
automatically filled in with the quantity that is necessary to replace the whole quantity
returned. You can change this value if needed.
Prerequisites
The quantity must have been returned for credit or
scrapped for credit.
System Effects
Based upon the quantity of parts to be returned or
scrapped, a replacement
order is created. The original order to be replaced
determines whether
a purchase order or distribution order will be created. An original distribution
order will always be replaced by a new distribution order. An original purchase
order will always be replaced by a new purchase order.
- A new purchase order will have the same supplier and supplier agreement as the
original purchase order. Postings and possible supplier agreements are adjusted to avoid a
double entry. The purchase order has the status Planned.
The replacement order will be a central order if
the the demand site for the original order line and the purchase site are not the same.
In other words, the purchase order will be placed in a site different than the
site where the
arrival and receipt was registered. You will receive an information
message if this is the case.
- A new distribution order will have the same demand and
supply site as the original distribution order. The distribution order will
have the Planned status.
