Field or Control	Description
RMA Date	View the current date, but you can change this value.
RMA Status	Select a value: Pending: RMA is not complete. The system cannot receive goods that are referenced on RMAs with a status of Pending or create replacement sales orders and credit memos until the status is changed to Open. This is the default value. Open: RMA is complete and ready for processing. This means that the system can receive returned goods, create replacement sales orders, and request credits. Status remains Open until the last line of the RMA is received. Canceled: RMA is no longer valid. No receipts are expected for it, no credit memo is issued, and no replacement orders are generated. You cannot change the RMA status in the header to Canceled if there are receipts against any of the RMA lines, and you cannot change an RMA line status to Canceled if there are any receipts against the line. Closed: All RMA lines are received. Note: You can change the status to Closed: for non-inventory items.
Reason Code and Return Type Code	Enter values that are the defaults for all the RMA lines. You can change them as needed. Note: Reason codes with a reason type of RMA Cancel must exist in the system.
Sold To	Enter a customer ID.
Contact	Enter the primary contact who is associated with the sold to customer defaults.
Display	Click to view the customer sold to, bill to, or return from address.
Override	Click to override the address for the sold to or return from customer. Note: If you click Override, the next time you click Display you will access the new address for the override.
Location, Sold To, Bill To, Return From, and Currency	You can define any number of location addresses for customers. The location that you identified as primary for each customer role appears by default, but you can select another location from the available options. The currency code that is associated with the sold to customer is the default currency value.
Intrastat Transaction Flag	Select if the items that are returned are eligible for intrastat reporting. The system passes this flag to PeopleSoft Billing for products that are returned for credit only as well as for credit and replacement.
Bill To, Contact, Return From, Pay Method, and Return To	The Bill To ID, Contact, and Return From ID (the Priority 1 Ship To customer ID) fields appear by default from the sold to customer, but you can change them as needed. If you specified a distribution network code on the General Information - Ship To Options page for the Return From customer, the priority 1 ship from business unit defaults to the Return To field. Select the payment method. If you have not set up a distribution network code for the customer, the PeopleSoft Inventory Business Unit (if one exists) that you define on the Shipping and Returns page defaults to the Return To field on the RMA Form page. You can select a different PeopleSoft Inventory Business Unit.
Estimated Return Date and Estimated Return Time	(Optional) Enter a date and time. If the Return To business unit requires closure calendar validation and processing for receiving activities as defined on the Closure Calendar page, the Estimated Return Date is validated against the calendar. If the system encounters an exception date, you will receive a warning message. You can either click No to accept the exception date or click Yes to reschedule. If you click Yes, the system returns the first future valid date for receiving operations.
Payment Terms ID	Specifies the Payment Terms ID. The Payment Term defaults from the OM/RMA business unit.
Pay Method (payment method)	Specifies the payment method for the RMA line.
RMA Pricing Date	Enter a date. This date will be used as the effective date instead of the RMA Date when the pricer is called. The default value is null, and if no value is entered, the RMA Date will be used as the effective date when the pricer is called.
RMA Arbitration Plan	Specifies the arbitration plan used during RMA pricing calculation.
Restocking Fee	Selected by default if you indicated on the General Information - Sold To Options page that the sold to customer is normally charged restocking fees. You can deselect this check box.
Approval Required	You can create a workflow that uses this option in conjunction with the Virtual Approver in PeopleSoft Workflow to route the RMA to the appropriate person for approval. Select this check box to keep the status of the RMA at Pending.
Header Notes/Attachments	Click the Header Notes/Attachments link to access the RMA Header Notes/Attachments page.
Refund Payment Groups	Click the Refund Payment Groups link to access the Refund Payment Groups page where you can edit the credit card information and refund method.

RMA Lines

Field or Control	Description
Line	View the starting sequence number for RMA line numbering that you establish in the line numbering parameters on the Order Management Definition - Order Management Setup page and increments by those parameters.
Product Source	View a default value from the General Information - Sold To Options page and indicates if you are choosing to enter RMA line information by customer part number or system number (product ID).
Product ID	Enter a product ID or use the default from the shipping history line that you selected.
Related Links	Click the button to view Search for products or View Projects information.
Quantity Returned	View an amount from the Customer Shipment History page. If you enter RMA lines manually, you must enter the quantity returned, and it is not validated against customer shipment history.
Quantity Base	View the quantity in the standard UOM for the returned item. For example, suppose that the standard UOM is EA and the customer returns one box that contains 12 items. If the UOM returned is BOX, and the quantity is 1, the quantity base is 12.
UOM and Net Unit Price	View the product default UOM (established on the Product Attributes by UOM page) when you enter the product ID. The product list price appears in the Net Unit Price field. If you are populating lines automatically from shipping history, the system takes the UOM and net unit price from the shipment history or invoice history line. You can change the net unit price for the product ID that is returned from the shipment history line. If the quantity that is returned from the customer is in a different UOM than the one for the original order, it is validated against inventory UOMs instead of sales UOMs, but the system cannot automatically create a replacement sales order in the returned UOM. For example, suppose that a customer returns a product in eaches that is sold only in cases but is stocked in eaches and cases. The return is validated against the inventory UOMs that include eaches. The system cannot automatically create a replacement sales order for the return in eaches because it is not a valid sales UOM. Thus the RMA is saved, but you must manually enter a replacement sales order for the return using a valid sales UOM.
Return To	View the PeopleSoft Inventory Business Unit that you defined at the business unit level on the Shipping and Returns page. You can change this value for each line. If you have not defined a business unit level Inventory business unit, the Return To IBU defaults to the ship from on the original order when you populate the line from shipment history. If you populate RMA lines manually and have not defined a Return To IBU, the Inventory business unit that you selected at the header defaults. Warning! You can return product to an inventory location that does not carry stock, for example you may want the product returned to a repair center instead of the warehouse. If this is a case, you will receive a warning message and a red error box next to each line which has a invalid item/return to business unit combination. You must either change the product ID or the return to business unit to a valid combination. If you leave the invalid combination, this causes problems in receiving. When entering RMAs from the Inventory menu, you cannot enter an invalid combination. If you do so, you will not able to save the RMA.
Ext Net Amount (extended net amount)	Displays the extended net price for the RMA line.
Currency	Displays the currency for extended net amount.
RMA Line	Click to access a specific RMA line.
