Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Return Material Authorization (RMAs)

The Return Material Authorization process, RMA, controls and monitors the return of goods. Infor LX generates an RMA which mirrors the terms and conditions of the return. You can copy the RMA from a processed invoice or create it independently of an existing order. If you copy an invoice to create an RMA, Infor LX copies only regular lines, not special lines. You can manually add special lines as credits on the RMA. Enter RMAs in the same manner as a customer quote. Like a customer quote, an RMA has no immediate effect on inventory, accounts receivable, sales, or the general ledger. Infor LX then generates a Return Material Document which provides the customer with the authorization to proceed with the return. Internal procedures, return reason codes, and instructional notes on the RMA identify the disposition processing. You can perform credit processing and determine update effects by entering the RMA number and assigning the appropriate order type.

Tips: LN | Baan

One common GRINYA issue would be incorrectly entered Integration Setups.

Check the Baan/LN manual for recommended Integration setups. If such a mistake were to occur, it is important to know for what period of time the Integration was in error. It is recommended that the Integrations Setup tables be audited either through Baan or Database Auditing. Corrections can be quickly calculated when an exact timeframe can be determined.

In LN, you can differentiate between items at various suppliers:

  • Locations (warehouses),
  • Purpose (planning, purchase)
  • Origin (supplier, warehouse)

Example

An item is supplied by two different suppliers. Supplier A ships in lots of 100 pieces due to how the item is packed. Supplier B ships the goods in units of 60 pieces.

You can define specific parameters for each supplier. The following sessions can be used to define these characteristics:
 
  • Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000)
  • Check Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2210m000)
  • Item Supplier Plan (cpvmi0530m000)
These sessions define entities that have an n-to-1 relationship with the general item data.
