Consignment Inforecord

Hi All,
I have certain doubts in Consignemnt inforecord as I am new to it.
Our scenario is like, we do GR for vendor consignment. And after the time of validity only, we need to issue it to company's own stock.
1. My doubt is , this validity period we need to maintain in inforecord, right?? In inforecord, in which field we maintain this validity period??
2. This validity period is nothing but an agreement with vendor right?
3. After this validity period, what will happen in the system?? if we didnt issue the materials to company's own stock even after validity period? will it automatically throw an error?? if it throws an error, in which situaion?
4. This validity period counts from the date of PO or from the date of GR??
Please reply.
Thanks in advance.

If there's no valid price condition record for the date you consume / take the stock from vendor consignment, system will give message M7234:
Pipeline/consignment movement posted without value
Message no. M7234
Diagnosis
The system has determined a consignment/pipeline price of 0.00.
Possible reasons:
The system could not find any valid condition for the posting date in the consignment/pipeline info record.
A price of 0.00 was defined in the info record.
System Response
Depending on how the system is configured, the message can be either a warning or an error message.
A withdrawal from this consignment stock or from the pipeline will not create vendor liabilities. For materials with moving average price control, withdrawals are posted without value. For materials with standard price control, a price difference posting is carried out.
The message is also issued when materials are received into consignment stock, as the system must check whether a consignment price of zero is required.
Procedure
If you have authorization, check whether the conditions or the price has been defined correctly in the info record, if necessary. If there is a condition with a price other than zero, check whether the posting date of the movement lies within the condition's validity period.
Proceed
You can configure the message (e.g. as error or warning) in transaction OMCQ. Based on the message type you will be able or won't be able to execute the goods movement.

Error while creating Consignment PO

Dear Gurus,
I am getting error message as 'Account assignment is mandatory for a material' while creating consignment PO with item category 'K'.Could you please address the problem?
Note:I have created Material master record and Consignment info record for that material
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Babu

HI,
1. Create a Material - MM01(Use stockable material types like ROH,HALB,FERT, HAWA, etc, Do not use consumable Material which is NLAG mat type)
2. Create a Vendor - XK01
3.. Create a Consignment Inforecord - ME11
4. Create a a PR with Item Category K - Consignment
5. Then assign PR to PO - ME57(PO Creation) Or directly create a PO with reference to PR - ME21N
6. Release the PO with any release stratergy is there
7. Recieve the material in MIGO
8. Transfer material from vendor consignment stock to own stock - MB1B 411 K mvt te.
9. Consignment Liabilities settlement - MRKO
This error comes into picture when you use Non-stock material... Avoid using it.
Or in case if u have to use Non stock material try giving Cost center and GL account in account assignment tab in item details
Thanks & Regards,

Import of consignment material

we have a procurement process of import consignment material.In consignment the prices flow from inforecord. In imports the cvd,customs duty flow from conditions in purchase order.now when we make a import consignment purchase order, in the PO there is no conditions tab & we cannot enter the cvd,customs duty,and in the consignment inforecord we dont have cvd,customs conditions.
please suggest to deal this process.
thanks
anil

Hi
Yes, we cannot enter Conditions in a Consignment PO because Consignment stock is not our stock. The ownership lies with the vendor until we do the Goods Issue.
And unfortunately, as mentioned by SAP, delivery costs cannot be settled using Consignment POs. Pls refer http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/33/222138c2ebcc46e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
However, you can deal with your scenario as follows:
1. Create a Consignment PO without Duties. Since the duties are to be settled with the Clearing Agent, the vendor anyhow does not come into the picture at this time.
2. Using MIRO, select the PO and post the delivery costs to the Clearing agent by changing the Invoicicng party in the Header Details. Post the delivery costs as unplanned delivery costs either in the Material Tab or G/L Tab by choosing the appropriate Material/GL account.
3. After Goods issue, settle the consignment vendor in the normal procedure.
Hope thsi clarifies.
Thanks

Vendor consignment process.

Hi All,
We are going live next week and client has Vendor consignment process.
I'm looking for help on the following steps.
1.Vendor consignement a process steps
2.Account determination step(OBYC)
3.Accounting postings for vendor consignment(T-accounts)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anusha

Anusha,
Activate Consignment inforecords using tcode OMEV. This activates the consignment prices to be picked up using the consignment info records.
configure a special procurement type using IMG->Production->MRP->Master Data->Define special procurement type.
In OBYC configure the consignment payables account (transaction KON).
Assign the special procurement type created in step 2 to all the materials that are to use the consignment process. This is done in the MRP2 view of the material master maintenance transaction
Create Consignment info record using tcode ME11. Select info category as consignment. Create general data, Purchase Org data and conditions. Conditions allow you to create time dependent prices.
Create PR/PO using the item category K. Due to the nature of these items, price is not applicable and so do not enter price. During consumption, the price will be picked from the consignment info record.
The following transactions are used in consignemnt MB54 - Consignment stock MRKO - Settle consignment liabilities. Consignment stocks are not included in the company stock valuation. It is normal, as the ownership is still with the vendor.
Thanks

Vendor material no. required for consignment

Hi Experts,
I need to make the Vendor Material No field mandatory in the Info Record for all consignment inforecords.
In Tcode OMF1 I can choose Vendor Material as required field, but this affects all inforecords.
Does anyone know how to specify that this <b>only</b> will be required for Consignment Info Records?
Thanks in advance,
Anders

HI,
I am afraid that the field controls do not have the type of info record as part of the check and so the short answer is that it can't be done this way.
I suppose that you therefore have two possible solutions, a user exit or if one is not available a copy of ME12 modified to make the field mandatory according to the info record type. (perhaps the modified ME12 could only be used for consignment info records)
I don't like mods like this but if you really need to do it I cannot think of another way.

Consignment Vendor Stock Process

Dear Gurus,
I've been studying the Consignment Procedure in the web and read a lot of documentation about it. However, I'm still puzzled on the proper steps. Sorry I'm new to MM.
Can you help me with the procedure? Tcode?
1. Create Consignment PO (K)
2. GR Consignment PO (101 K)
3. Upon consumption, transfer these stock to own WH via 411K.
No my next question is, how to proceed on the payments, invoicing, etc? Our closing period is at the end of the month.
Kindly help. Thank you!

Hi,
Follow the below steps to achieve consignment process..
Firstly create consignment inforecord in tcode me11 and its mandatory for consignment.
Create PO with Item category as K.
GR in tcode migo with 101 K
Check in tcode MMBE and you can look at your stock as consignment stock.
Goto MIGO-Goods issue 201 K and issue the goods for consumption.
Then make selttlement to vendor for the qty which is consumed through tcode MRKO.
Note-Here price comes into MRKO from your inforecord.
Thanks

Material costing - consideration of consignment info records

Hi All,
within material costing, it is possible to get material prices of components by reading the purchasing inforecord ( transaction OKK4, see possible values of strategy sequence ). My problem is: SAP standard does only consider standard inforecords, but no consignment inforecords. I got an answer on an OSS-quest saying that this can be only acchieved by a modification. Does anybody know the right place for this modification, or is there a suitable enhancement I could use?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Could you please give details in how did you use Userexit COPCP005?
Kind Regards!

Error in consignment PO

Hi gurus.
when the user is trying to create a consignment PO, they get the following error message
"pricing date category only allowed for items with invoice receipts.
Message no: MEPO003
Can anybody please help me with this
Thanks
Anusha

we got this error, becuase somehow on the default setting button in the PO there is a field called price date,in this field somehow the user had a past date and whenever a new consignment inforecord got populated in the PO the system checkled the price validity against that date and then it threw the error. This only happened with that one vendor, other vendors we did not have the problem. once we got rid of the date in that field, the error also went away.
Thanmks ofr your help
Thanks
Anusha

Vendor provides materials & stores them on your company premises. The vendor remains the legal owner of the material until you withdraw material from consignment stores. The steps:
a. ME11, Consignment Inforecord
b. Create Contract, ME31 ( item category K) (optional)
c. ME01 (enter Contract Number) - Source List (optional)
d. Create PR( item category K) - ME51N (optional)
e. Create PO ( item category K) - ME21N
f. GR - MIGO - 101 Mvt type
g. GI - From consignment stock to own stock - MB1B 411 K Mvt type

Consignment tax

i want to know how the tax are calculated in consignment since in consignment in po the price will be 0 and in inforecord you maintain tax code and consignment inforecord.
but i want to know on what amount the tax code is calculated.
i think it is for inforecord amount rite.
based on the agreement between the vendor and company payment is done.
i know that tax code is entered in inforecord.
but in settlement wil it calculated with tax based on the inforecord price.
from inforecord tax code flow to po and from po will it go to settlement if so what configration needs to be done.
can you brief me.
with regards,
sathish

Normally you recive consignment material through PO with out price.You will receive material against PO and the stock as considered as vendor stock.
Once you consume the stock either 201k or 411k it will create material document.
while settlement against material document consumed qty , system calculates price and tax which is maintained inforecord.
Configuration wise just you need to crete consignment inforecord and message settings.

Costing Condignment Materials

Hi Guru´s,
I am trying to cost materials with consignment inforecord,,-but without success.
I have used customer inhancement COPCP005, and function module EXIT_SAPLCK21_002 and include ZXCKAU08, but we do not catch the change..
If we look at the where used list for the function module EXIT_SAPLCK21_002 it is not used anywhere, am I missing some customizing ??
In OKKN I have strategy sequence L and sub stradegy A (Quotation price vi condition table)
When I cost I get the error:
No valid source of supply found for material 8780000 plant 1001
Please be so kind and help me solve this problem
Thanks in advance.
Pernille Grundtvig Holst

Hi,
   Just to add further:
The problem is that if the category of your info record is consignment, then product cost planning cannot take info records of this type into account. Only standard info records can be used for material valuation. This is the design.
In the standard system costing is only concerned with info records of category: Standard & Subcontracting.
You can also read this in note 552486, question 8.
Therefore the price of your consignment material detemined in your record with the Info Record Category: "Consignment" can not be used.
There are only two possible solutions to your problem:
1) you could keep an additional "Standard" Info Record for your material   (though I guess that this is rather time consuming);
2) Another alternative is to use strategy 'U' (price from user exit) in valuation variant. In this exit you can certainly read any prices, also from consigment inforecords.

Waman

Multiple Consigned Info-record Based on MPN

Hi All,
We have an MPN Profile that has a setting of - MPN Mandatory & Info Records for MPN. This MPN Profile is assigned into an Internal Material which will be managed with our Inventory.
We have multiple MPNs from a Single Vendor with different price and that is created separately in the Info-Record.
When the PO is created with the MPN, it is working fine by selecting the Internal Material and I am able to do GR for that PO which comes in Stock as Internal Material.
However, my problem is that I am not able to create a K-Type PO for those MPN, as system prompts error messages like MPN008 => "Consignment and MPN mat. only possible in case of info recs. for IM mat."
I have gone through the SAP Help and it is also mentioned as a NOTE in there : If you are working with consignment info records, you must create the info records for your firms own material. Reason: in the case of goods issues involving consignment materials, the system searches for the info records for the firms own, inventory-managed materials and does not take MPN materials into account.
I have a question now => Does SAP allow the Consigned Process to be practiced for MPN Materials?
Any suggestion/idea/solution is most welcome!
Regards,

Hi Rahul,
Thanks again for your reply!
I did the way you suggested and I was able to create Consigned POs for the MPN. However, my problem is still un-resolved, as you can see the problem from the following process steps.
1) GR for the Consigned PO is done and now the IM Material is in the Vendor Consigned Stock.
2) I have pulled the Quantity via Tcode MB1B/411-K.
3) When I run the MRKO (Vendor Liability Settlement), system took the Consigned Info-record of the IM Material (which is only 1).
_Problem:_ System while doing MRKO, is not considering the MPN Inforecord, as I am not able to create Consign Info Record for MPN Materials.
If you are not clear about my scenario, I can explain in detail.
Regards,

Consignment Inforecord
