How to add an RMA from the Purchase Order Screen (RETURN)
Ascent offers several convenient ways to add a Vendor RMA. The instructions below describe adding an RMA through the details screen of a particular purchase order. This would allow the return of an item which had been previously received from a vendor. This particular process (RETURN) doesn’t go any further than that.
Select a purchase order which has material to be returned.
- Go to the purchase order line that needs to be returned. Click “Create RMA”
- Change the “Reason RMA Line” to “Defective”, “Other”, “Not Needed”, or leave it alone
- Change the “Quantity Received”, if appropriate
- Change the “Type” to “Return”
- Click “Save”
Process the RMA Return
After you click “Save”, you will see a “Process RMA Lines” button at the top of the screen or just under the RMA lines. Click “Process RMA Lines” button and you will see “RMA Return to Vendor” Screen.
- Click “Process” to start the physical return back to the vendor.
- Select the “Ship From Lot” drop-down, and select the appropriate lot to return this material to.
- After selecting the appropriate lot (or taking the displayed lot as the default), then click “Save Items”
- After Ascent notifies you of the successful processing of the RMA, Click “Back To Case”
