• Key Concepts: 
  Consignment return is a process in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) that allows customers to return goods that were previously delivered on consignment. Consignment is a type of delivery in which the customer does not pay for the goods until they are used or sold. The consignment return process allows customers to return unused goods to the vendor and receive a credit for the returned items. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SD, the consignment return process begins with the customer creating a return order. The customer then delivers the goods back to the vendor, who then creates a credit memo for the returned items. The credit memo is then posted to the customer’s account, and the vendor can then issue a refund or credit for the returned items. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a return order, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included in the order, such as the item number, quantity, and reason for return. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary documents are included with the return order, such as invoices and packing slips.
