Process parameter value

Impact on generation of Material Return # for removed parts

"0" for ‘Not Required’

The system generates unique Return # for each of the selected CR # transactions

The Latest Return # column displays the newly generated Return #

“1” for ‘Required’

The system generates single Return # for all the the selected CR # transactions

The Latest Return # column for all the selected records will commonly display the newly generated Return #
