Creating complaints

If the delivery of an order is incorrect, for example, if too few items are delivered, the system prompts you to issue a complaint when you close the delivery note for the goods.

You can also issue complaints for goods that were delivered correctly, for example, if the correct quantity was delivered, but the goods are faulty.

If you have the appropriate user rights, you can issue complaints even if the delivery note has been closed.

Issuing complaints when prompted by the system

If you close a delivery note on which there are differences between the quantities ordered and the quantities delivered (see Issuing a delivery note), the Delivery note check page is displayed.

Depending on the problems with the delivery and the settings defined in the basic contract, the following sections may be displayed on the Delivery note check page. In each section, you must select a handling method for the problem or issue a complaint.

Select an option in each section and click the Save button.

Section

Description

Short quantity

Displayed if the quantity delivered is less than the quantity ordered.

If the settings in the basic contract permit partial deliveries, you can accept short quantities as partial deliveries.

If the basic contract does not permit partial deliveries, you must issue a complaint.

Over shipment

Displayed if the quantity delivered is more than the quantity ordered.

If the settings in the basic contract permit over shipments, you can accept the over shipment. Pro forma orders are created for the new items and displayed in the Status list.

If the basic contract does not permit over shipments, you must issue a complaint.
