Consignment Liability Settlement

Hi expert,
When i try to settle the consignment liability, there is an error message.
The information text field ask about the reference number, anyone can help?
Thanks

Hi
Sandra McCright rigthly says the cause for such an error . As i understand Same Document type is assigned for consignment liabilities which is also used to post normal vendor incoming invoices posted through (MIRO ) .
This setting is maintained in transcation code OBF4 , Normal document type used would be RE (Gross inv. receipt ) where
Reference number will be ticked as mandatory under Required during document entry option .
Best way to over come this will be copy the document type (RE ) and create a new doc type (Z1 exclusively for consignmnet liabilities) and assign this new document type to transaction code MRKO which can be done in the following IMG path
MM=>Logistics invoice verfication= > Incoming Invoice=> Number assign ment = >Maintain Number Assignments for Accounting Documents
select Document type s in Invoice verfication
Caution : Number ranges to be assigned will be same as that of original document type RE as this is copied from it for a company code.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Consignment liability - partial invoicing from vendor

Hi, we have a scenario for consignment liabilities, an example of which is as follows:
a. goods withdrawal of 1000 units via MB1B to production order
b. settlement of consignment liability via MRKO for the goods withdrawn
c. vendor submits invoice for 200 units (following an agreement to bill only for units already sold to market); post this invoice via FB60
d. transfer clear the vendor liability posted in step b above (MRKO) to "other liability" account (we dont want to reverse the liability account here as the inventory has been used-up already and hence the recognition of liability is only appropriate)
e. process payment of step c
f. perform same process as step c and e everytime vendor submits an invoice
g. user manually monitors the "other liability" posting and actual invoice payments and make the necessary adjustments.
Appreciate your inputs on how best to handle this scenario. Any advise on best business practices will be very much appreciated.
thanks and regards,
jing

Hi
This is not the scenario of Periodic invoicing , this is a scenario of Advance payment & Partial payments.
For the first 33 % after the PO is created, you can pay only using advancepayment process if GR- based IV is present.
Advance payemnt is done using transaction F-47 - Request & F-48 - Payment.
Creat a Payment term in the config in this way
Z009     Payable in 3 partial amounts
     1 installment: 33.00 % with payment term 0001
     2 installment: 33.000 % with payment term 0001
     3 installment: 34.000 % with payment term 0001
Maintain the same in PO
After the advance payment is done the same can be seen in Purcahse order history.
After the GR is done post the invoice. In the Invoice Accounting document the Amount is divided into 3 lines
You can clear the Line items based on their payment process.
Please take help of FI consultant
Thanks & Regards

Manually clearing for consignment liability account

Hi all,
we have to manually do a FI posting to clear the consignment liability account, but there are 2000 line items, so I'm wondering if there is any automatic clearing process like GR/IR clearing ( MR11) for consignment liability account? Or can we run a program to clear this account?
please advise.

Hi Anand,
I havn't got any solution on that, based on SAP notes 487162, the solution is:
In this case, you either must not use such taxes or you must carry out a manual clearing between the consignment liabilities account and a suitable account in FI using Transaction FB01 or FB60.
so I think this is our solution for now,I'll keep u update if we found a better solution.

uncheck docs which can be cleared and try , make sure test run is on.
try with other gr/ir as well just too see if this tcode serves the purpose.

Partial Consignment Pipeline Settlement

Hi,
Is it possible to perform a partial consignment pipeline settlement(T-code:MRKO)? This is due to the fact that the vendor don't bill according to the good receipt qty.
Thanks,
Teo

Hi,
First receive the Stocks to the Consignment stores with respect to Vendor fully as per the Consignment PO.
Whenever the Vendor bills for the partial stock do the postings of consignment stocks to your own stocks, so the system will process for that partial stocks only in MRKO

Consignment and settlement

Hi Friends,
My user is running MRKO t.code and settling the documents and he is getting message like "Consignment settlement : No message was found for partner 266666/Company code".
I have maintained KONS condition for the vendor and in the combination (com.code + vendor) table i have maintained printer also. But this is happening for one user for other user it is working. I checked up both the roles no difference.
Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Anil,
How you are getting ZERO and Negative Vale for consignment?
Consignment settlement will happens after withdrawal of goods or after Sales based on your Consignment Purchase Info record.

MRKO: pipeline and consignment liabilities settlement

Dear MM experts,
Please explain me what is the use of MRKO transaction, normally for all po's through MIRO we will do the invoice verification but in consignment order and pipeline what is the process to pay the vendor??
thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Govardhan,V.

Hi
Consignment Material is stored at your company premises but belongs to a vendor. The vendor supplies these goods so that they are available to you at any time, but does not initially invoice you for the goods. Only when you have withdrawn stock does payment become due for the quantities used.
Removing material from consignment stores or transferring material to your companys own stock results in liabilities towards the vendor. You should settle these liabilities at regular intervals.Consignment materials are settled without the vendor issuing an invoice, as the vendor company is unable to track withdrawals directly. The vendor can only manage its consignment stock by taking deliveries and payments into account.
U will settle the vendor for pipeline and consignment using MRKO transaction.

MRKO Consignment settlement against a PI partner

Hi
I have a problem with the vendor the MRKO settles against. The scenario is that I want to settle the against a PI maintained in the vendor master (in the partner function) which is different to the VN that the MRKO run settles against because this is the vendor the info record is created for and the PO was created against.
Please help
Shashi

Check the OSS note 451370
The consignment settlement does not take partner function 'Invoice presented by' possibly stored in the vendor master into account but instead always creates the consignment invoice with reference to the vendor of the consignment goods.This vendor must be created in the relevant company code and purchasing organization.
Other terms
RMVKON00
Reason and Prerequisites
For the following reasons, the consignment settlement is unable to take partner role 'Invoicing party presented by' stored in the vendor master into account and can only create the invoice for the goods supplier:
1. Normally, the consignment liability account is managed as a current account.The posting period and the vendor number are usually the sort and assignment criterion of the items on the account.Only by using this sort/assignment criteria can you determine from an FI point of view which consignment liabilities are created in a certain posting period for a certain vendor, and to what extent these were cleared by an invoice.
2. The inventory management of the consignment stock is always executed for the goods supplier and the goods movements are always executed with reference to this vendor accordingly.The resulting posting of the consignment liability is therefore executed with the number of this vendor as part of the sort/assignment criterion.
3. If the settlement of the consignment withdrawals does not then work with this vendor but instead works with the invoicing party assigned to this vendor, this would cause the posting on the consignment liability account to contain the vendor number of the invoicing party as a sort and assignment criterion, as the document only contains this vendor. Therefore, the postings could no longer be cleared and the documents could no longer be archived.It would also no longer be possible to execute evaluations via the consignment liability account for the determination of open items.
For the above reasons, in consignment processing, you can only work with the goods supplier which must be created in the corresponding company code and the corresponding purchasing organization.

Partial settlement & penalty for Consignment Liabilities

Hi buddies,
I have a question on consignment liabilities settlement.
Scenario -
Consignment PO, qty - 50 created,
MIGO - 101 'K' done for qty 50,
MIGO - 411 'K' or 201 'K' done for entire 50 qty.
In standard SAP 100 % liabilities are settled by MRKO. However, I want to settle liabilities in parts viz. 60 % in current month and remaining 40 % in next month. The second requirement is that I want to levy penalty of 10 % on Vendor. This is possible in case of standard PO by way of sebsequent credit but in case of consignment PO this is not possible since I am settling liabilities by MRKO. Is there any workaround for these two queries?
Cheers!
Sachin Narvekar

Penalty clarification -
If the vendor liability is 100 but the material is of poor quality I have to pay 90 to Vendor i.e. 10 is the penalty I am imposing. In case of normal PO I levy penalty to him by creating subsequent cerdit. How do I levy penalty in case of consignment PO?

Consignment settlement output title

Hi,
we print a KONS output (MR_PRINT form) for consignment settlements (triggered by trans. MRKO). On the paper ouput we need to slighly rephase the name of the document printed in French language. For example - from "Consignment invoice" to 'Consignment consumption settlement". Please advise where are stored texts for titles in different languages.
Thanks a lot
Kind regards
Marcela

Interesting - I've always known the t-code and have not tried to access through the SAP menu so can't tell you differently.
In the end SAP standard is not designed to output consignment documents via MR90 so you will need to make adjustments to your user profiles and processes to use MR91.

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.
