[AX2012] Link between Return order line and Invoice line

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Berthil 204

Dear community,

In AX you can create return order lines by marking lines on an invoice (Find Sales Order). Where does AX store the link between the return order line and the invoice trans line? You can't return the same invoice line twice, so there must be a link.. somewhere..

I thought this link was saved on the inventtrans records, but those aren't created until the return order line is registered.

Anyone knows?

Thanks, yours,

Berthil

    Hi Berthil,

    There is no link between an invoice and the return order other than it might fill the return Lot-ID for cost price purposes. So, in fact you can perform the action multiple times. The feature is intended to create new orders or return orders more quickly or with consistent data.

    Hi André,

    Thank you for your quick response. But in our setup we can only select invoice lines once, after that AX returns an error 'The quantity being returned is greater than what can be covered by the return lot.' or it disappears from the selection list.

    Yours,

    Ah.. I think I understand it now.

    The Return lot id references to the inventtransid from the Original sales order line, am I correct?

    Yours,

    Hi Berthil,

    As Andre mentioned there is no field other than the lot ID and the RMA number that helps you identifying the linkage between the original and the return order. If you need something else then you have to consider making a system modification.

    Best regards

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    Thank you for your response. We're creating an automated return order creation process and we need to link this to the Original sales order. The lot ID seems to be the field I'm looking for.

    Yours,

    Berthil

    Hi Berthil,

    The return lot ID is indeed referencing the InventTransID from the original sales. But also good to read there is actually a check in place.
