Consignment stock in the planning book

Question

Hi Experts
I would like to display Consignent stock category CD in Planning Book.
I am using PHYSICAL_STOCK( u2018productu2019 ; u2018locationu2019 ; version ; u2018categoryu2019 ; u2018categoryu2019 ; u2026) returns the stock of a location product of one or more categories.
Based on the above macro fnction i can able to get Plant Stock but for consignment stock this function is not working.
How to achieve this.Please suggest me if we have any other macro function to get consignent stock.
Or i need to create a new fiunction for this.
Please give your opinions on the above issue.
Thanks

I recommend that you use PHYS_STOCK_LOCPRODS instead of the PHYSICAL_STOCK function because the PHYSICAL_STOCK function doesn't show any value in the aggregated level.
Here are the steps:
1) Create a custom category group called ZCD.  You need to do this because the PHYS_STOCK_LOCPRODS function only takes category group as one of its parameters.
2) Assign CD (consign stock category) to ZCD category group.
3) Use this in your macro: PHYS_STOCK_LOCPRODS( 'ZCD' ; ACT_VERSION ; ACT_LOCATION_PRODUCTS( ) )
P.S. Syntax-wise, make sure that you separate it into two lines and have all the spaces in the right place
By the way, you cannot simply assign ZCD to a key figure in the planning area key figure details section and expect it to show up in the planning book.  You have to use the function to get the consignment stock value.
