If the product is managed by location and no container is entered, a default location can be initialized based on the management rule assigned to the ‘Delivery return’ movement type and on the locations set up in the 'Product/warehouses' record if the warehouses are managed. If it is not the case, the product is based on the locations set up in the ‘Product/site’ record.
The semantic identifying a location category is used to associate in the 'Product/site' record (or 'Product/warehouse' if warehouses are managed) a location type and a potential location.
The location type and the location defined in the 'Product/site' record (or 'Product/warehouses') can refer to a group of location types and/or locations if the wildcards (?, *) are used in their definition (see the Location types and Product-site documentations). You can view documentations about Location types and the Product/site for more details.
In the case of some location types, the assignment will also depend on their availability or their capacity (replenishment management). This information can be modified if necessary.
If the return transaction allows it, a dock type location can be entered in the return header. If this is the case, it will be this location that will be systematically suggested by default. The locations of the type dock are not suggested in the selection if the return transaction does not specify receipts to dock.
In some cases, you may intentionally choose not to enter the location type and/or location because the goods to be returned will be distributed across different storage locations. You will then enter the distribution in the Stock detail window. If a “$” symbol is displayed in these fields after entry, it means that different location types and/or locations have been assigned and that a stock line has subdetails.
