Change customer of consignment stock

Experts,
Is it possible to change the customer of consignment stock? I checked but with 309 it's not possible.
In normal business operations this is not a required function, but it is needed for a conversion.
Thanks!

Dear Jan
can you please let me know whether you would like to change the stock or customer itself??
If you want to transfer the stock, it is possible but in case of customer, I dont think it is possible.
thanks

Negative values on customer consignment stock

Hello,
Is it possible to have negative values on customer consignment stock?
i.e. the same material is sent to a customer, as consignment stock
(special stock W), from different plants. If the material is not used
by the customer (then it has not been billed, as it is on consignment),
the customer can return all that stock to only one plant. This means
that the overall stock for that material on customer consignment will
be cero, but the standard SAP does not allow to return to one plant
more quantity than what it was originally sent from that plant.
Is there a possible workaround to this situation?
Thank you.

maybe that you sold more pieces than you had, and the material master allows negative stock on the plant/storage location.
pls. reward points if helpful
regards

Any help will be highly appreciated .
Thanks

Hi Nick,
1. Go through Consignment Stock Processing
Purpose
Consignment goods are goods which are stored at the customer location but which are owned by your company. The customer is not obliged to pay for these goods until they remove them from consignment stock. Otherwise, the customer can usually return consignment goods which are not required.
Consignment processing offers the participating partners several advantages. Customers store the consignment goods at their own warehouses. The customer can access the goods in the consignment warehouse at any time. They are only billed for the goods when they are removed from the warehouse and only for the actual quantity taken.
Since consignment stocks still form part of your valuated stock, you must manage this stock in your system.
However, consignment stock must be
Managed separately from the rest of your stock so that you know exactly what stock is stored at the customer location
Managed separately for each customer
In inventory management, the consignment stock is managed as special stock in your inventory and is assigned to specific customers. This enables you to keep track of returnable packaging stock by customer.
If the consignment stocks are not managed by the sold-to party but by a central office, you can use the partner function for special stock partner.
Prerequisites
Special Stock Partner
The special stock partner has been defined for carrying out consignment stock processing by means of a third party rather than the customer. This means you can manage all special stock under one partner. It makes sense to use the special stock partner if your customer is using decentralized order processing but manages consignment stock centrally.
Inventory Management Using the Special Stock Partner
If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner, proceed as follows:
Create a customer master record for the special stock partner (account groups 0001 and DEBI are defined for this purpose in the standard system).
Enter the special stock partner in the relevant customer master record on the partner screen using the partner function SB.
When you create an order for this customer, the system automatically proposes the partner function SB in the document header and the document items. Consignment goods which have been entered in a consignment fill-up are always posted to the stock of the special stock partner when goods issue is carried out. You can also enter the partner function SB manually in the document header or in the relevant items if a special stock partner is required and is not proposed from the customer master record. If a special stock partner does not exist in the document header, inventory management is carried out using the sold-to party.
Process Flow
There are four main transactions for processing consignment stock in the R/3 System, all of which support separate management of stock:
Consignment fill-up
Consignment fill up is used to supplement the customers consignment stock.
Goods issue of the appropriate stock is posted from the unrestricted-use stock to consignment stock (special stock). The goods remain in the possession of the vendor.
When you ship consignment stock to the customer, you record the transaction by creating a consignment fill-up order (order type KB). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
If special stock does not yet exist in your inventory for the customer (or special stock partner), the system creates it when goods issue is posted
The relevant quantity is removed from regular inventory in your plant and is added to the special stock for the customer. The total valuated stock for the plant remains the same.
The transaction is not relevant for pricing since the consignment stock remains the property of your company.
Consignment pick-up
Consignment issue enables the customer to take consignment goods from the special stock for their use or to sell.
Consignment issue involves removing the goods from the special stock and making it the property of the customer.
When the customer removes consignment stock to use or sell, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment issue order (order type KE). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from both the customers special stock and your own total valuated stock.
The transaction is relevant for pricing since the goods now become the property of the customer.
Consignment issue
Any consignment goods stored at the customers warehouse that havent been used can be reposted to your companys warehouse with a consignment pick-up.
If the customer returns consignment stock to you, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment pick-up order (order type KA). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from the customers special stock and is added back into your regular stock at the plant where the goods are returned. Your total valuated stock remains the same since the returned stock was regarded as part of your own inventory even while it was at the customers premises.
This transaction is not relevant for billing.
Consignment return
Consignment returns are used for when your customer wants to return goods to the consignment stock.
If the customer wishes to claim on consignment goods which have already been issued, you can record this transaction by creating a consignment return order (order type KR). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is added to the customers special stock at the plant where the goods are returned
Since the ownership of the goods is passed from the customer back to your company, the transaction is relevant for billing. In this case, the customer receives a credit memo for the returned goods.
Depending on the settings in Customizing for Sales, you can create consignment returns with direct reference to a consignment issue. The consignment issue appears in the document flow for the consignment return. This function is not supported in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System.
When you create consignment returns in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System, the system automatically sets a billing block. To credit a return, you must first approve the request for a credit memo by removing the billing block in the return header. You can control the automatic setting of a billing block in Customizing for Sales.
The following order types used in the standard system for processing consignments:
Transaction
Sales order type
Consignment fill-up
KB
Consignment issue
KE
Consignment pick-up
KA
Consignment return
KR
Pricing and Availability Check
Whether pricing is carried out for the individual transactions depends on the item category. The schedule line category controls the availability check and the transfer of requirements in each of the transactions. The schedule line category itself is determined by the item category and the MRP type of the material. The order types KE and KA check against the consignment stock for the customer involved and order type KB checks against your own plant stock. Requirement records for consignment stock are stored as individual requirements, independently of the setting in the material master record.
2. You can sell the products to the same customer through other sales areas with configuration of common divisions and distribution channels.
3. Go through the IMG settings Sales and distribution --> billing ---> Inter company billing
I hope It will give you some Idea,
Regards,
Murali.

Goods Receipt into Customer Consignment Stock

Hi !
Does anyone know of a way to have the GR for a PO received directly into customer consignment stock?
I know SAP provides a standard way to receive inventory into stock provided to vendor (for sub-contracting)... but not sure if same is available for customer consignment.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Anisha.

I am little curious about why the material in this PO can be customer's consignment stock? Does customer pay for it?
Or this PO is a special order,which is for customer shipping consignment material to you. If it is, I think you can do GR and make the material as consignment stock by GR.
Thanks

Consignment Stock Transfer

Hi,
I need to move stock from one customer (consignment) stock to another customer (consignment) location within the same plant. Can you please explain how to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
I have researched for this requirement, before. Not successful. There is no possibility of transferring customer consignment stock to another customer consignment stock in standard SAP. If this is possible, solution is ready on hand.
Option:1
Transfer customer consignment stock to own first and then do the transfer to second customer consignment stock. This can be tried in user exit. Such movement type can be assigned to the special "Schedule Line Category" that can be used by changing manually in the consignment fillup order for the second customer.
All this is worth looking at, if at all both the customers are in the same premises. Otherwise, a paper document is required to accompany the delivery. It is possible via consignment fillup order (SD). So, if you wish to move consignment stock from one customer to another, without consignment fillup order, it is not possible. If at all you want to pick from first customer's consignment stock to PGI to second customer order, you would need to create such a movement type which can do this sort of posting. I have researched a lot on this but didn't see any possibility.
Not sure, if it helps!

Handling Consignment Stock at Customer Location

Hi Experts,
Please advise how to handle consignment stock at customer location in SAP B1 2005B, the situation is in this way;
The customer pays for the goods but the delivery is a consignment shipment.
Regards,
Shakeel

Hi Shakeel,
We handle this in the following way:
(only works well if you do not have too many customers wanting CS)
To summarise
1) Created new BP Account spcificly for CStock for Partner wanting consignment stock.
2) Order for Consignment stock entered on new account, delivered and invoiced (invoice never sent to Customer) but you have a delivery note.
3) Balance on Cstock BP account credited back to 0 but the stock is credited back to a new stock warehouse (e.g. CS001). customer now has stock and you have a record of what has been sent in location CS001
4) Cutomer notifies usage of stock.
5) Manual invoce raised on Actual BP account for consumed stock against warehouse CS001 (warehouse entered on invoice line) we also change payment terms for CS stock invoices.
6) CS0001 Warehouse not been reduced by invoice qty and you have and invoice to send to the consumer.
There are one or two floors in the procedure. eg handling changes in cost of stock.
Happy to send you our procedures is you put an email on your business card.
Thanks,
Mike

Customer consignment stock view not available at Ship-to party level

We have moved our stock to customer consignment stock using order type KB (Consignment fill-up). When we view stock situation using MB58 (Consignment at customer) the stock shows up under customer sold-to. However, we would like to see how much consignment stock do we have under each ship-to location. Is there any view or report in the system which shows consignment stock at each ship-to level?
We have tried the following:
1) We thought of making ship-to party equal to sold-to party thus using the same output (MB58) but we have several ship-to's (sometimes 50) per sold-to which will make sales analysis and pricing maintenance difficult (as our pricing is based on sold-to).
2) We looked at table MSKU (Special Stocks with Customer) and in it stock is stored at the sold-to level and MB58 pulls out stock from this table only. We thought of using user exit to move ship-to number in MSKU table at the time of stock movement but then we will have to change ATP logic (user exit again) also for consignment issue orders and we would like to avoid all that in case there is a simpler solution.
This seems to be a requirement which lot of customers would have, Are we missing something obvious. Please help.
Regards
Sandeep

Thanks Buddi,
Partner function SB works the way we wanted it to.

Request for help on Vendor Consignment stock and Customer Consignment Stock

HI Experts,
We have a requirement to segregate the Customer Consignment stock and Vendor consignment stock from the total Consignment stock available in the BW report.
Currently in the report the calculation of total consignment stock is based up on Issued consignment stock and Received consignment stock .
The calculations of the Issued and Received consignments stocks are specified below.
Issued consignment Stock
The below following parameters are checked when the quantity is considered as Issued consignment Stock
Transaction or Process keys : 100, 101, 104, 105, 106, 110
Application    :   MM
Stock relevance : 1
Adding to the above conditions,
u2022     When the stock category is u2018Ku2019, the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Issued Consignment Stock. or
u2022     When the stock category is blank and the stock type is u2018Eu2019 or u2018Ku2019 or u2018Lu2019 then also the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Issued Consignment Stock.
Received Consignment Stock :
The below following parameters are checked when the quantity is considered as Issued consignment Stock
Transaction or Process keys : 000, 001, 004, 005, 006, 010
Application    :   MM
Stock relevance : 1
Adding to the above conditions,
u2022     When the stock category is u2018Ku2019, the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Received Consignment Stock. or
u2022     When the stock category is blank and the stock type is u2018Eu2019 or u2018Ku2019 or u2018Lu2019 then also the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Received Consignment Stock
Only stock category and stock type are available in the BW report for determining the type of consignment stock . So, with respect to stock category and stock type, could you please kindly advise if it is possible to determine the Customer consignment stock and Vendor consignment stock in the report
Thanks a lot
Warm Regards,

Return of customer consignment stock

Dear all,
If, in the standard SAP system, a return delivery from customer consignment stock is done (sales doc: KA, Mvt: 632) the goods are moved to the unrestricted stock.
This isn't a very good solution, as the users often forget to move the goods to blocked stock (after good receipte from consignment stock) and then, theses goods are included into the MRP Run.
How do you handle returns from consignment stock? Do you have a 'One - Step' solution (consignment customer stock --> blocked stock) in place? If yes, could you please explain me the process you are using?
Do you know why SAP did not implemented the direct movement to blocked stock?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi
It is not possible to post to blocked stock as 632 movement is actually reversal of 631 movement.
631 movement transfer stock from 'unrestricted' to 'customer consignment' .
Business standards will always be to send to 'customer consignment' from unrestricted stock only.
Nobody will ask for sending from 'blocked' to 'customer consignment' and hence SAP did not provide for the same. So reverse also could not be found to put the same to blocked.
Why don't you type below movement type for requirement.
655---goes to QI inspection straight away (you can move them back to unrestricted t code MB1B with movement type 321)
or
657----blocked stocks (you can move them back to unrestricted t code MB1B with movement type 343)

THird Party PO Scenario - GR into Customer Consignment Stock

HI,
In a Third party scenario, is there any possible way to post the GR into Customer consignment stock ?!
In std SAP,
PR is generated from Sales order and the PO is created w.r.to the PR.
PR & PO will have the acct assignment ( sales order) and item category (third party).
during GR, we can't see the stock in the system. because the GR is statistical one since the stock is directly deliverd at customer place.
But in the current world in our case,
the stock is delivered in an external warehouse, from where the goods will be delivered to customer at a later point.
we want to track the stock in external warehouse. so, we want to have this as the "customer consignment stock". ( we may have this as a SLOC and from there we can transfer to customer consignment stock. but there will not be any link for the sales order and this customer consignment stock and moreover during GR we are not updating the stock...)
SO here is the question,
how can we update the stock during GR for Third party order( as far as I know, we can't define new item category).
If we are updating the stock during GR for 3rd party, then we may find a way to post it to the customer consignment....
Pls share your ideas..thanks.

Third Party Consignment? Anyone have an answer? I have the same requirement

Customer consignment stock- REPORTING stock level & goods depatched

Hi all
I'm looking for a report (or reports) which shows the following (bare in mind that this will all be customer consignment stock):
- the delivery numbers
- the previous month's stock level
- the quantity of goods despatched the following month with a rolling calculation
- monthly invoice values
- remaining stock levels (after current months goods have been issued and invoiced)
I'm aware that MMBE/ MB58 shows the current stock levels, however I'm hoping there is a report in SE16 which shows it as a report structure.
I understand that this is a lot of info requested by myself however any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
/ Vicky

Dear tortyv,
As per my understanding of the requirement,
You please check the "VL06" report if it satisfies your requirement you enter the execution parameters and execute.
System will give the list of out bound deliveries. Select one of those and click the details icon (ctrlshiftf3) according to the item view or headder view.
If it does't suit you have to go for z report.
I f you want that please provide the input fields in order to fetch the required data for the report.
Thanks&Regards

Consignment stock in an storage location for one customer

We have one procedure for consignment to customers. We create one sales order type KB (consignment fill up), and after receiving the material after creating PO and inbound delivery, we create the outbound delivery and then goods issue to send the material to the customer.
With the current procedure, we are not currently able to distinguish between the consignment for the sale and the consignment for maintenance purpose, as for a few customers, we want to keep the material located in one storage location created for that special customer so it appears in the inventory separated from the general current customer consignment. With the current procedure, once the GI is done, the material goes to customer consignment and does not appear in any storage location.
Do you know how we could create the new procedure?
Thanks and regards.

if we want to retrieve the material from customer consignment to unrestricted
Either you can create a consignment pick up and a return delivery or reverse the original delivery so that the stock would be increased in the parent plant.
For more details, check this thread

Customer consignment from vendor consignment stocks

Hello Experts,
I am working on the below scenario,
The stocks in vendor consignment are used for customer consignment. I believe in standard we need to bring the vendor consignment stocks to company's unrestriced to do the post goods issue. Is there any work around for this solution so that the visibility of stocks still be on vendor consignment ? If so how would the posting when material document is created? Remember that, only after the customer consumes it, I will raise a PO and GR to bring to my own stock and then bill the customer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Suhail Shaik

Hi,
The difference here is the stocks are already lying as vendor consignment stocks in our location and We are using it for customer consignment. Vendor doesnt supply to the customer directly.
Thanks,
Suhail Shaik
