Can anyone help clarify the best way to track DMR items returned to the supplier for rework and return. Currently we leave the DMR open and upon return of the material we accept against the DMR “Accept Stock”. We have also created a BIN under Quality " Rework", How can I move them from the current “MRB” Bin to the “Rework” bin?
Hey Jimmy,
I believe the Epicor recommendation is that when one returns parts to a supplier, you debit the supplier for the bad parts and place a PO for the replacement (if you want new parts).
Since this is rework, you could do the same or you could do a Subcontract PO for zero cost, and then follow an subcontract flow. Instead of accepting to stock, you would move the parts to a job with a subcontract operation. Ship the parts on a Miscellaneous Shipping. When they return, they are returned through the normal receiving process. If they are good, complete to stock.
This way, you always know what you have outstanding and the AP department can track what has happened.

I like the idea of the subcontract flow - if you accept the parts into the job you create you will be pulling in the cost of the parts.
Sending the parts for rework or replacement is tracked through the subcontract status if you ship them using Subcontract shipment.
Receiving them back into the job and subsequintly receiving the job to stock, your costing is not compromised.
Creating just a PO that is zero cost to receive in replacements you will be affecting the part costing if you aren’t using standard cost.
