Configuration of Returnable packaging materials

Hi Experts,
Can anyone provide me with detail configuration guide of returnable packaging material step by step.
Thanks.
KIK

I can understand the process, I just asked what this has to do with returnable packaging?
you dont have to return this to the vendors, you dont expect it returned from your customer. So why is it returnable packaging then?
I would not use returnable packaging material type for at least 2 reasons: it is a material type for a speical process in SAP, and you confuse the users putting materials in that material type but using then a different process.
In general you can sell anything. The big question is just how you want the material to be in your system.
should it be stock managed or not? should it be valuated or not.
if stock managed, then you have to create the stock yourself as you never ordered it. this can be done either with 501 movement, or as already mentioned by others with 202 movement, (561, 552 and inventory movement 70* are as well possible)

Returnable Packaging for PO

Dear Expert,
I've a scenario whereby the MM consultant try to push the SD consultant for the scenario below:
- There is FOC returnable packaging (wooden pallet) for PO to ship back the these to the supplier in oversea
- These wooden packaging will be arranged to ship back to the supplier when reached 150 pcs
- user want to keep track of the quantity in the system
- user want to print a pro-forma invoice when the shipment arranged info the custom
- user wanted to show/print the price on the pro-forma invoice
In SD side , the solution I can think of is:
- via sale doc (sales order doc & delivery doc)
- set up customer master
- set up pricing
- develop pro-forma invoice or delivery note
In MM side,
- via return PO doc
- the vendor master already there
- set up pricing
- develop pro-forma invoice or a form call delivery note
Question:
- should the above done in SD?
- is the solution come from SD is the best option?
Looking forwards to hear from you. Many thanks.
Best regards,
Aw

Hi Aw,
Create material masters for returnable packaging with item category group LEIH. When you create a sales order & outbound delivery, returnable packaging materials will be listed in them and they can be tracked with their material codes. You can include statistical condition type in your sales pricing procedure to show indicative price for packaging materials. This indicative price will flow to your shipment documents as well.
When the customer wants to return the packaging materials, you can use order type LA, item category LAN is not relevant for billing and post goods receipt.
If the customer decides to keep the returnable packaging materials, then enter the transaction in your system with order type LN (issue order). LNN is relevant for billing and you can use new pricing procedure to charge customer for packaging materials in LN. Price can be same as indicated in the original sales order or be different as per your agreement with customer.

Proforma invoices for non-valuated returnable packaging

All,
just wondering whether it is required to send a proforma invoice for non-valuated returnable packaging that is sent across a border.
Can anybody help me on that one?
Thx in advance!
Regards,
B.

Hi,
Going by std SAP best practices, if you are sending materials across the border and also entering foreign trade export data in your sales documents it is advisable to have a proforma invoice for your returnable packaging materials else they may be subject to other taxes, customs or excise duty.
You may check with SAP Global Trade Solutions to check about the implications in detail.

Returnable packaging Material Flow

Hi,
I have setup Item Cateogry Grp as ZLEI (Copy of LEIH).
In the Delivery Item Cateogry determination, setup Item Cateogry ZZAL
(Copy of ZTAL) for delivery type ZLF and Item Cateogry Group ZLEI.
Completed the relevant settings for the determination of the returnable
packaging material in delivery through the packaging material type.
Still when I am picking the HU in my delivery, I am not able to get the
returnable packaging materials in my delivery after TO confirmation.
But if I change the Item Cateogry Group in material master as LEIH, it
works and I see my returnable packing materials in delivery.
Can somebody please advise why I am not able to use ZLEI (Copy of LEIH) item
cateogry group for determination of return materials in delivery.
Regards,
Harsh

Harsh,
The error is not in Item category group LEIH to ZLEI, it is in the item category From TAL to ZTAL.
Redo it slowly, the moment you copy TAL to ZTAL click tick mark then copy controls screen will apppear accept it by clicking ok.
Then Check Assignemnt of sales Document to item category check whether you are using the item category group you have created and item category assignemnt.
Check... Revert for Clarification

Returnable Packaging as a delivery line item

Hi,
I have this requirement:
Whenever certain materials are purchased, they always come with returnable packaging. I have setup packing proposal and created packing confition records using packing determination type RCPT and key Material.
When I create an inbound delivery (type EL) for a purchase order for a material, I am able to determine the packing material as a Handling unit.
However, I want to add the packing material as a separate line item in the delivery.
I have maintained the Item category determination: EL + LEIH + PACK = ZELN.

Returnable packaging-vendor and customer sides

Dear Experts,
I have searched through the internet as well as on this forum but I was not able to find the information I am looking for.
I have the following issue concerning the Returnable packaging process in SAP:
I need to gather overall information concerning the returnable packaging.
The process is as follows:
My vendor provides me with some materials that come with returnable packaging (e.g.Pallet01) -> Assuming I am just a middleman, I sell the goods to my customer and also send them on the same Pallet01 (one day my customer must return the pallet to me and I must return it to the vendor).
- What are the settings I must set in customizing and in material master?
- How would the process look like in the system (for example are there specific settings I must make to be able to see the packaging per customer in MB58 (I have set item category group LEIH in material master - is this the only setting to assure this, plus I am not sure if the field where I should put LEIH is General item category group or Item category group - both on Sales: sales org.2 tab in material master; Plus is there any way I can control what settings does item category group have? When I go to SPRO Sales and Distribution->Sales->Sales Document->Sales Document Item->Define Item Category Groups - there is no option to click inside the certain group))?
- In what report I can see how many Pallets I owe to the vendor and how many Pallets each customer should return to me (is there one report that would show everything or do I have to use separate reports)?
- How do I proceed if the vendor decides to invoice me for the pallets or I decide to invoice my customer (I would like to know the best practices)?
I tried to enter packaging from vendor to special stock type M (with move 501 M added to the goods receipt for PO), than it's working to see it in the stock report assigned to that particular vendor. But what if (and this is the case) I am selling the goods on the same packaging to my customer? Cause I am not able to add the pallets from special stock M to the outbound deliver.
Thank you in advance,
Krystyna

Dear Vikram Shukla,
In fact, my question is more related to how to link the returnable packaging with the vendor - raw materials combination (PIR), which for my understanding is more related to sourcing part.
Anyway, could you please advice how could I transfer my question to MM forum?
Many thanks in advance and best regards-

How to enter a returnable packaging material during inbound delivery?

Returnable packaging in customer consignment process

I have this scenario:
I have returnable packaging (drums) that have been setup as non valuated materials in SAP. The item category in deliveries in YB10.
These drums have serial numbers. Since some maintenance needs to be done on these drums from time to time, therefore, equipment's need to be created for the drums. The equipment number and serial number are the same and the serial number profile is setup in such a way that the equipment is created automatically when the serial number is created
When the drums are in stock, the status is ESTO
Now, in the normal order to cash process, this is what happens:
1) Sales order - order is created for a material
2) Delivery - The drums are added to the delivery along with the material through a packing proposal. A serial number is specified for the drum and the order is PGI'ed to the customer
At this point, the status of the equipment/serial number changes to ECUS
3) Billing - normal billing (drums are billed)
4) Return delivery YBG5 - the empty drum is accepted back into warehouse
After PGR, the status of the serial number changes back to ESTO
During the customer consignment process, this is what is happening:During the consignment fill up when stock goes from warehouse to customer, the status of the serial number is changing to ECUS
During consignment issue, since we can only issue whatever material is there, the same serial number that was used during fill up is being used
However, when we do a delivery against the consignment issue, we are getting an error that the status of the serial number is ECUS and it is not suitable for movement
Since consignment stock is still owned by the company until an consignment issue is done, I am wondering whether SAP is behaving correctly by changing the status of the serial umber to ECUS after the consignment fill up.
Is there a way to use the same serial number in the consignment issue as the consignment fill up?
Please reply urgently

Try the following
Go to OMWB transaction and simulate the posting using your plant, material and movement type
The simulation will show the standard postings based upon goods movement
E.G. 601 GBB VAX valuation class, account
Identify your accounts assigned to both sides of the posting and then you should be able to re-assign the g/l accounts to the appropriate modifier string within OBYC
Hope it helps

Returnable packaging process-Vendor-Company-Customer

I have the following issue concerning the Returnable packaging process in SAP:

Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

Dear all,
I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
Doubt 1
I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
Doubt 2
What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
Doubt 3
Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
Regards
Nitin

You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
Remember, there are 2 materials here:
1. Gas
2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

Returnable packaging - vendor related

Hello SAP Gurus,
In my current project, I meet following situations regarding vendor related returnable packaging:
1. Packaging belongs to vendor;
2. Packaging belongs to us (purchaser);
3. Packaging is rent by us (purchaser).
Our current solution is to use "Transport Equipment" - 501/M to receive such packaging when do GR of materials. But the constrains here is that warehouse stuff needs to know which material requires returnable packaging when do MIGO. And they have to manage this manually in an excel file: what material requires returnable packaging.
Now my question is: how could we link this returnable packaging with the materials + material vendor.
1. Possible to manage in PIR then flows to PO? (If not considerring development).
2. If consider to generate 2nd line in PO:
1) Again, how could Purchase Order creator know this material is required to generate 2nd line for returnable packaging?
2) For packaging belongs to vendor, which is non-valuated and account assignment will be required;
Many thanks in advance for your precious input and with best regards-
Mengyu

Hi,
In the 1st case, Packaging belongs to Vendor:
This is Non-valuated but stock update material type (you can maintain this exclusively for Vendor ownership & Rented since these are not your company owned)
501-M is fine with this type. To track this in WM to identify for returns you can give a code description to be easily identifiable to trace it for the return. You/user dont have to add a second line item in the PO, but can directly enter in 501M
In the 2nd case, packaging belongs to your own company, you can define a material type with value and qty update which can also be managed in MIGO. For this I presume you must have issued the materials to vendor before MIGO which can be received in MIGO as company's own stocks.
Hope this helps
Shiva
