Field help (PNHBETFCY)

The information in this field cannot be modified. It indicates if the return is inter-company or inter-site.

A supplier return is systematically considered as inter-site or inter-company if the supplier is identified as a site. The difference depends on whether the supplier site belongs to the same legal company as the return site. If the sites belong to different legal companies, the return is inter-company. If not, it is inter-site.

If the return is inter-company, the inter-site check box is also activated. This is also the case for all purchase documents.

To perform this type of supplier returns, you first need to assign roles to each set up site:

• The supplier linked to the return must be defined as a sales site on the Management section of the Supplier record: click the inter-site check box and assign a sales site to this supplier. It is advised for readability reasons to associate a supplier code to the site code).
• The return site must be entered as the receipt site with a delivery address of a customer identified as the purchase site.

An inter-site or inter-company return will follow the standard process, but if the return if for an inter-site supplier (site of the same company), it cannot be subject to a credit memo.

The validation of such a return, in addition to the actual issue of the stocks (reduction in the physical stock) and the creation of the issue transactions in the stock journal, updates the stock totals In transfer (for the site carrying out the return) and In transit for the site expecting the return. These totals will be decreased once the receipt of the return will have taken place.

When a return of this type is confirmed, it can become the object of a customer return at the shipment site at the origin of the receipt being the object of the supplier return. A direct supplier return can be subject to a customer return and saved on the site, which is determined as follows (in order of priority):

• Usual shipment site belonging to the same company as the supplier, from the list of shipment addresses considered as the receipt site for the return site.
• Site identified for the supplier, if this site is used for storing.
• First storage site in alphabetic order for the sites of the company identified by the supplier.

During a customer return for an inter-site or inter-company supplier return, the stock information will be automatically taken from the supplier return (lot, sub-lot, serial number).
