Return To Vendor

Hi Guys,

I have an error when I try to create Return to Vendor. It says:
The Following Errors Occurred:

Error: a return must be to a party in the role of internal organization

WHy is that? It looks logical to be that way if we have Return From
Customer, then we return it to our company which is internal organization.
But why vendor would be internal organization?

Thank you for any clarifications.

We do not use dropship as for the moment. 
So I was in the hope to use the current return mechanism with the diffrence
from customer is that partyIdFrom is 'Company' and partyIdTo is the supplier
partyId. Also returnHeaderTypeId becomes 'VENDOR_RETURN'. We also have a
screen where we input rma number.

the code was written to return items to the company.
you have to write new code to ask a supplier for an RMA
and returns to them
it gets more tricky if you use a dropshipper.

Okay. I see in new version the role type id requirement was changed from
'INTERNAL_ORGANIZAITIO' to 'SUPPLIER'. So now it does not give error when I
try to use 'RETURN_TO_VENDOR' header type id.
Thanks.

Hi Vikas,

As I understand this patch applies for drop ships? Because, the return
header type still says "CUSTOMER_RETURN" and on return items screen the
"ship from" address is the customer's address and not our company's one.

So I guess the only difference from regular customer return is that customer
returns not to our company but directly to supplier?

Thank you guys for the responses.

Actually I treat the vendor and supplier  the same way. In my case these are
the companies we buy from, in order to sell it further to the customers. So
when customer makes a return of the order we initiate the return to the
supplier. But I am still not sure if it is needed to require
INTERNAL_ORGANIZATION role for supplier/vendor party? The are outbound
organizations I think?

LOL, I thought that was the definition for a vendor, you gave a while ago.
thanks for the correction.

Um... usually in OFBiz "Vendor" refers to anyone that sells anything,  
including the company running OFBiz and all of its suppliers.

A "Supplier" is someone you buy from, that's correct.

A "Customer" is someone that buys from you.

clarification:
Vendor is someone that buys from you
supplier is someone you buy from
