RMA's

We have recently implemented Vantage 8.03.404A. We are receiving
customer returns from sales orders that were created in the previous
system, and thus not in Vantage. We are creating RMA's for returned
inventoried items without a sales order number in the RMA. All is
working, except the inventory transaction is hitting as an inventory
variance and the credit to the general ledger is hitting Change in
Inventory. How do we make the RMA without a sales order in the RMA
hit inventory as a customer return and reduce cost of goods sold? Is
there something we are missing in the set up or in creating the RMA? I
looked at the reason codes associated with the RMA, but I cannot enter a
GL code in the reason code.

We are currently on 4.00 904 but will be going live on 5.00 346 on
April 15. We are just testing and using the RMA processing and
dispositon in the QA module. We have several questions in order to
implement this correctly and would appreciate any help.

1. IN dispositioning parts and it is determined that the parts are
to be reworked, you already have to have a job # to link to on the
disposition screen. How do you let the correct people know to setup
a rework job and or order release then come back to the disposition
screen and link to the job?

2. IN dispositioning parts and it is determined that the parts are
to be Scrapped I see a global alert for receipt has failed
inspection. Any other process to alert people to add order releases?

What are your processes to get the correct people involved? If
someone who is using the RMA's could spare some time, could you
please email me off list. We have more questions than answers.

As always thank you all for your help.
I'm in the same boat, we reviewed our current procedures for filling out a
Manual DMR and RMA type forms. We are now applying this to the QA module and
want to get it going by the End of April. My guess is we will need a
procedure for say the Quality Manager to first contact our Sales Department
to open up a new line item to receive return parts against so they can be
shipped out on this item if parts are to be returned. The line would be
closed if parts were scrapped. Also the sales department may need an
entirely new sales order number if the customer is requesting the returned
parts after reworking are shipped back to them under a new purchase order.
Also after a RMA is created and received the production department will have
to create a new job with a "R" prefix or suffix to receive the disposition
parts against. Accounting will post cost adjustment against the job so when
the parts are shipped from the job against the new order or line item they
can again leave the system and not screw up cost of goods sold. Since parts
received thru RMA were placed on the "R" prefix job. Some type of
nonconformce must be recorded either job material to a DMR then back to the
"R" job or a Nonconformance Other created so you also have a DMR and
associated Corrective Actions to the RMA.

Hope this helps.

We are just starting to set up our RMA process. I've noticed in
Vantage there is RMA tracking, but don't see a "form" to fill out.
Is this something we need to create? We are not using the QA module
at this time. Can anyone advise?

Becky, you need RMA processing which is under Accounts Receivable, Order
Management, or Shipping/Receiving under general operations.

Becky:

Look under Sales Order Management, you'll find the RMA processing and
disposition screens there. We did find that we wanted to keep more info
than offered, so we designed at VB form to collect the extra items.
