Consignment issue

Consignment issue:
Are there is any possibility in standard SAP to do the complete consignment issue process (VA01, VL01N, VF01) in background with single transaction. Or is it possible to develop this through Z Transaction.

Hi,
Yes its possible to create a Sales Order, Delivery and a Billing Doc and it can be acheived through output types of all these documents with medium 6 (EDI). You need to create an output type with this medium and in the routine for this output type you can call for relevant BAPIs like Sales Order Create etc.
Thanks

Static credit check: credit limit exceeded for consignment issue delivery

Hi,
We are encountering a credit limit exceeded error in delivery creation for a consignment issue.
In SPRO config "Credit limit check for order types", no credit limit check is assigned to the order type. However, there is one assigned for the delivery type. Also, for CCAr/Risk cat./CG combination in OVA8 (Auto Credit Block Delivery), static credit check has been activated with error message reaction. Open orders and open deliveries were also activated. Customer exceeded credit exposure but user cannot release the order in any VKMx transactions as no credit limit check is assigned to the order type.
Given that this is the current setup, and the following conditions:
1. Credit limit for the customer cannot be increased
2. Oldest open item cannot be cleared just yet
Is there any way that we can proceed with delivery creation for this customer? The other order types have credit limit check so credit management team was able to release them. However, we are unsure on how to proceed with this consignment order. Kindly advise and thank you in advance for your help.

Looks contradictory and it may need to run report RVKRED77 to reorganization of open credit values. Try to run the report in test system and then run in production system. After running the report, the use must be able to release in VKM* transaction.

Error of Excise Invoice in Consignment Issue billing document

The usual process of billing from excisable unit (with CIN) is as follows:
1. VA01 >2. VL01N(PGI)> 3. VF01 (Proforma Inv) --> 4. J1IIN (Excise Inv) --> 5. VF01 (Comm Inv)
While in non-Excisable unit the 3 & 4 steps are not required.
In Consignment Fill-up- The process is only upto Generation of Excise Invoice and order processing is complete. Excise Invoice in this case works as Excise Gate pass- just to let the material out of factory gates and no sales is booked.
Further, In consignment issue- the process should be like non-exciseable unit i.e. 1, 2 & 5 step only. While we are getting the error is coming at step no 5 (Excise Invoice no is missing !)
One more thing I want to ask:
During Consignment fill-up, movement type 631 is used - which removes the stock from storage location and put it in 'Consignment stock in the same plant. Now since the plant is declared as excisabel, probably it is asking for 'Excise invoice'. It means, there is one more step of material movement, before 'Issue' order- what could be it ??
Please help.
Praveen Singh

The correct process in consignment fillup process is
a) Create fillup Order (order type KB)
b) Create fillup Delivery (movement type 631)
c) Create F8 proforma
d) Create Excise Invoice referencing Proforma
a) Create Consignment Issue Order (Order type KE)
b) Create Issue Delivery (movement type 633)
c) Create Commercial Invoice (billing type F2)
In the second stage only, you need to create commercial invoice and not in the first stage as indicated by you.

Tax Departure Country in Consignment Issue

Hi,
I have read lots of thread regarding this issue but all of them ended with suggestion related to plants abroad which in our case will not resolve the issue.
Let me again put the question and hopefully somebody will answer to this.
We are doing an implementation for one of our UK client.
The issue is regarding consignment fill up for country in Europe.
I understand that we need to file consignment fill up in the INTRASTAT reporting. This can be achieved by using billing type WIA with 100% discount.
but the issue over here is, when we create consignment issue, the tax departure country is getting determined as customer country because of which the tax is not getting determined from condition records.
We are getting an error of mandatory condition type MWST required which is correct as we are getting a value of tax.
Can anybody help me over here?
I don't think it is an issue of plants abroad.

I am already stating the reason.
MWST has 3 standard condition tables.
1. Departure and Destination country..
In our case --> Departure Country is GB and Destination country is DE
But in case of consignment issue it fetching departure country as DE and destination country as DE
2. Domestic Tax -->
Departure tax will be on GB country
3. Export Tax
Country will be GB and export country will be DE.
but in all the cases departure country is coming as DE and not GB.

Regarding Consignment Issue

Hi Friends,
I have a question regarding consignment issue. During the consignment fill up I have entered a material (machine) that is configurable and also assigned a serial number to it. Now when I try to create an order (consignment issue) and enter the corresponding serial number tied up to the machine in Consignment fillup, the system is taking just the higher level item of the BOM. The BOM is not getting exploded in the order. Can anyone please suggest where I can control. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sunny.

Hi
I don't think it will b exploded in Consignment Issue as it has already exploded in Consignment fill up. Consignment issue means what selling the stock which is at consignee's place so it dose not have to b exploded. u carr on like that and see what is the flow if it is ok then go on otherwise u let me know the problem.
Thanks

Consignment issues,delivery,return.plese guide customise

hi,
consignment problem and customise.

Hi,
The consignment process in SAP standard consist of four small processes:
Consignment fill-up (send materials to customer consignment).
Here you have a consignment fill-up order and a consignment fill-up delivery.
Consignment issue (issue materials from customer consignment to the customer).
Here you have a consignment issue order, consignment issue delivery and a consignment issue invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal OR flow, but the materials are issued from the consignment stock instead of plant stock unrestricted).
Consignment return (return materials from customer ownership to customer consignment).
Here you have a consignment return order, consignment return delivery and a consignment return invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal RE flow, but the materials are returned to the consignment stock instead of plant stock returns).
Consignment pickup (pickup consignment stock and move it to plant stock).
Here you have a consignment pickup order and a consignment pickup delivery.
Note that in consignment fillup and consignment pickup there are no invoices since there is no change of ownership for the materials.
How to perform a consignment order?
In consignment orders you are allowing the stock to sit in your customer location. Once he informs that he used the stock you will invoice him. If he returns the stock you will accept the stock to take it back.
It is defined in 4 steps.
1. Consignment fill up:
Sales document type is KB
Item category KBN
shedule line category E1
In this step, you are not invoicing the customer. document flow is sales order -
delivery item category. It will not be relevent for billing and pricing because you are not charging money for these goods in this step.
In schedule line category, you will set movement type 631 & set for availability check and TOR.
2. Consignment Issue.
Once the customer informed you that he used all the goods or partial goods then you will create consignment issue for used goods.
Sales document: KE
Item category: KEN
shedule line category: C0 or C1
Here you are invoicing the customer(because he used the goods). you are assigning the delivery documnt and billing document to the sales document.
In item category, you are setting relevent for billing, pricing, special stock.
In schedule line category, your setting is 633 movement type, relevent for availability check & TOR.
3. Consignment Return:
Customer found that some goods are damaged or he not able to sold the goods he want to send it back. that you are creating this document.
Sales document type: KR
Item category: KRN
Shedule line category: D0
You will assign delivery document and billing to sales document. you will create return order, return delivery, return billing.
Your setting item category relevent for billing, returns, pricing, special stock.
Your setting schedule line item category: 634 movement type, NO availability NO TOR.
4. Consignment Pick up:
Even if you create the consignment return the goods are not come to direct to your plant. For that you need to create consignment pick up. here the owner ship is not changing so you do not need to create billing.
Assign retrun delivery to sales document type.
Sales document: KA
Item category: KAN
schedule line category: F0 & F1
Your setting item category relevent for returns. any shedule line category relevent for 632 movement type, MRP, availability check, delivery.
Now you check your plant stock. Stock will increase.

Abhee.

While doing consignment issue..

Dear All,
Anyone can tell me when i am doing consignment issue the picking tab is in display mode(Greyed Out). By which so..

Hi Ashima
During Consignment Fill-up, Picked goods are shifted to the customer premises.
When you are doing the Consignment Issue, you are delivering goods from this stock.
Here you need not create a picking again for the already picked goods. For picking,we create a Transfer order and goods movement takes place in the Warehouse.
While issuing goods from my Consignment stock, why should goods movement take place in my original warehouse, which may be at a distant place.
I hope , you understand, it is not relevant.That is why you will find it greyed out.

Consignment FillUp and Consignment Issue Referencing?

Hi Guys,
I'm currently involved in the development of a POC to automated consignment processes. My question is,
Is it possible to do a reference for every consignment fillup to consignment issue orders. What field should I use?
This is for their tracking purposes.

Dear sarvanand
Normally for consignment issue order, you need to refer F8 proforma invoice for which in VOV8, for order type KE, assign M for the field [Refence Mandatory]
Also if you want to reproduce a particular data from fillup order to issue order, then you can take the field ZUONR at header level tab Accounting which you can see both in fillup order and issue order.
The copy control for this field is in VTFL. There select the combination of your delivery type and proforma type and click on blue lens on top left. Now you can see the field Assignment Number. Press F4 there and maintain the required one so that the same will populate from fillup to issue order.
thanks

Consignment issue - stock related problem

hello,
This is an issue related with consignment issue.
material document is created and and seen in document flow. also posted in FI
It can be seen in MB51 with special stock indicator 'w' But it cant be seen in MB58.
There is a mismatch.
movement type used is 633.
Please help on how we can analyse this further.
Thanks

Hi,
I dont think Consignment issues are shown in MB58 report since this report is only for consignment stocks at customer place and also for returnable packaging stocks.
Consignment issue is as good as sale. so it wont reflect in the MB58 report only Movement types goods with 631 and 634 will show in MB58.
Please check.

Sharan

Consignment Issue - No stock available

Hi,
While creating a Consignment Issue order, the quantities are not getting confirmed eventhough the stock is available in MMBE (Customer Consignment) for that particular customer.
i have checked that there are no other open orders for the same, the Sch Line Category = C1 & the Movement type = 633.
Please let me know what could be the issue here.
Thanks & regards
Narain

Hi Lakshmipathi,
thanks for your reference link.
Here also, there seems to be an issue with the ATP logic. But, i am not changing any partner details.
The Problem statement as below: (There were no open orders / deliveries before we start the below process)
First Run:
I create a Consignment Fill up order (say, CF00001) with Quantity 1, Delivery & GI. In MMBE, there is a cust consignment stock of qty 1. The ATP quantities (in CO09 transaction) are: Receipts 1, Issues 0 & Confirmed Isses 0.
Then, i create a Consignment Issue Order (say, CI00001) with Qty 1. I am able to create a delivery & then do the GI.
In MMBE, the cust consignment stock vanishes & in CO09, the ATP quantities are: Receipts 0: Issues 1 & Confirmed Issues: 1
The above looks fine to me.
Second Run:
I create another Consignment Fill up order (say, CF00002) with Quantity 2, Delivery & GI. In MMBE, there is a cust consignment stock of qty 2. The ATP quantities (in CO09 transaction) are: Receipts 2, Issues 1 & Confirmed Isses 1.
Then, i create a Consignment Issue Order (say, CI00002) with Qty 2. The system confirms only 1 qty & not 2 as required.
I am not sure what could be the possible reason.
Is it because, since in the ATP,
Receipts is 2, Issue is 1 - the system calculates the difference (Receipt - Issue) & confirms only 1 qty.
Please let me know if my understanding is correct & what could be the possible solution to this.

Consignment Issue Invoice

Dear Friends,
The user has created one sales order (401001) for the consignment issue for the total quantity of 8,888,165 lbs. After raising the invoice, the user found that the invoice has been created only for 626,695 lbs.
In the document flow of the order # 401001 it is found that three different Out bound Delivery has been created though only one line item was entered in the Sales Order as follows:
        OD   >            0080826174/900001   =                      284, 264 Kgs
        OD   >            0080826174/900002   =                    1,810, 478 Kgs
        OD   >            0080826174/900003   =                    1,936, 859 Kgs
In the invoice only only first one has arrived.
However, when we cancelled the invoice and created a new invoice, all three line items as the OD appeared and the quantities also appear as correct.
Now, this type errors came in another 12 users. We are not supposed to cancel averytime and create new inviouce. The client is asking to give some permanent solution.
Please guide me to get some solutions.
Thanks,
Jans

The above ODs are automatically created once the
   Consignment Issue order is saved
I feel the process itself is wrong. I dont know how consignment issue order was created. Ideally, it should have been with reference to F8 proforma type. If that is the case, you would be storing some items into warehouse which is treated as "Cust.consignment" and you can the same in MMBE.
Always, the quantity despatched from parent plant and the quantity picked up by customer will vary. For example, from parent plant, you would have despatched material A for 1000 kgs with movement type 631. For the same, you would have created consignment issue order also. Here customer would not have lifted the entire stock. It would have been in bits and pieces which means, for your one issue order for a given material, there will be en number of issue deliveries with movement type 633 which cannot be created automatically.
Hope you understand what I am trying to convey.
thanks

Consignment issue stock problem

Hi Guys,
One consignment issue sales order of 500 qty has been created but only 139 qty got confirmed.
When I check in MMBE for the particular customer, consignment stock is there. 503 qty.
Still, cant able to confirm full qty in order.
What could be the probable reason?
And what needs to be done to up the stock?
Please advice.
Cheers....!!
Chetan.

In my earlier project, same problem was coming repeatedly from the end users and in almost all the cases, the issue order quantity was more than the proforma quantity. Other than that, whatever I suggested is only my assumption. In fact, what I would suggest is that for that material, you list all open KE sale orders created and compare with quantity despatched from parent plant. I feel definitely, the root cause of your problem should be here only.
Will suggest in case I got any other clue
thanks

Consignment Issue - Resheduling.

Dear All,
We create COnsignment issue order with material X, whee stcoks were 0, item level its not confimred.
Next we place the consignment stocks Via MB1C, and trying to run V_V2 resheduling job, but system is not confirming the quanity ar item level.. can you please put some light.

Hi Ramki,
As per standard we have to do the consignment fillup.Becuase system recognises that the plant stock has been posted to particuklar consignee with the Special stock indicator"W" which is harcoded in the movement type "631" You can see this in the transaction "OMJJ" and select the movement type "631" and Select Filed selection/Batch search procedure and click on general data and at the top you can see the "Spec.Ind.f.St.TrnsferW". Then system will place this stock under consigment. When you do the issue ,system seraches for the consignment stock rather than the Unrestricted stock at the palnt level. To achieve , what you are looking for , you can proceed by posting the intial sotkc with the special stock category "W"(System will ask for the customer, enter the same) and check the stock in MMBE. It will show the customer consignment stock. Now proceed creating the issue, you will not find any problem. Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.
Regards,
Ram Pedarla
