• Key Concepts: 
  Return to supplier is a process in SAP's SCM-Warehousing and Manufacturing Execution component that allows a company to return goods to a supplier. This process is used when goods are found to be defective or not meeting the required quality standards. The goods are returned to the supplier for either a refund or replacement. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the return to supplier process, the company must first create a return order in SAP. This order will include details such as the supplier, the goods being returned, and the reason for the return. Once the order is created, it must be approved by the relevant personnel before it can be processed. Once approved, the goods can be returned to the supplier and a credit note can be issued.

  When creating a return order, it is important to ensure that all details are accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that the process runs smoothly and that any credits or refunds are issued correctly. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all returns and credits in order to ensure that any discrepancies are addressed quickly and efficiently.
