Consignment Pick-up order - confirmed inventory qty

Greetings,
We are using the SD customer consignment model, using sales order types, consignment fill up orders ZKB (copy of KB), consignment issue ZKE (copy of KE), consignment return ZKR (copy of KR) and consignment pick-up ZKA (copy of KA). We have a specific requirement to build a consignment pickup order ZKA, deliver and post goods receipt the delivery before we process the ZKR consign returns and so we go negative in the customer consigned inventory. My issue is that SAP will not allow us to confirm the qty on the ZKA sales order so we can deliver it (no schedule lines created to deliver), we need to circumvent this and just confirm and deliver the consign pick-up. This a unique situation where we are replicating transactions from another system and it's done out of order, the inventory would be negative literally a couple of hours.
Thanks!

Agis -
Thank you for your input, I believe this is part of the problem however I believe the core of my problem is in the availability check and schedule line processing. If I have no consigned inventory for a particular customer and material I still need to book a Consignment pickup as I'm replicating transactions from an external system and will catch up and reconcile inventory within the day. I can create my ZKA (KA) order with the ZKN (KN) line item category, I can create a schedule line with the schedule line category of F0 (consPickup w/o AvCh) however when I deliver the pickup a delivery is created with the line item but with no delivery quantity and a log entry of "Only 0 EA of material XXXXX available".. What I need to do is supersede this and create the delivery with qty and post goods return it, letting the consignment inventory go negative, this will be caught up hours later when I post consignment receipts.
Any ideas?

Consignment pick-up order from a service notification

Hey SD eperts,
We defined a new notification type: AD for consignment pick-up.
My question is: is it possible to create a consignment pick order with reference to a contract from this service notification ?
Regards,
Bahia.

I doubt if it is possible. Consignment Fill-Up Process is for transfering the Material to the Customer site, still being the ownership of the company and not Customer. This deals with Tangible Stock and not service.

How to include planned customer consignment pick-up in availability check

We create customer consignment pick-up orders and want the availability check to take this qty into account as available qty from the planned pick-up date.
We also want the consignment pick-up orders to be shown in MD04.
Can anybody guide us with a solution for this.
Regards
LORA.

No return sales order is needed.
You have to use consignment pick up, for details please check SAP online help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/dd/560025545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
1. Create a sales order using order type KA .
2. Enter the required data for the customer, the consignment goods and the plant to which the goods are to be returned.
3. Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
4. Create a returns delivery for the sales order (the system automatically chooses delivery type LR). The transaction is completed by the goods issue posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.

Consignment pick up problem

Hi,
User has created a consignment pick up order for the customer with two line items. One has 21 order qty and other 8 qty. For both materials, I checked in MMBE and stock is there for the customer.
Now, delivery was created for this order. But only with 10 and 7 qty respectively.
And then, number of deliveries are created with 0 qty.
Cant see the reason why.
Please suggest.

Hi Chetan,
Please go through the Consignment Sales Process in SAP. As per your query the pickup process needs the reference document.
The consignment process in SAP standard consist of four small processes:
Consignment fillup (send materials to customer consignment).
Here you have a consignment fillup order and a consignment fillup 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.
Plaese let me know your thoughts.
Thanks and Regards,
Satheesh Durgi

Consignment pick up Issue

Hi all,
I have a scenario where sometimes if the ordered item is not in stock, the client gives a substitute item to the customer. When the ordered item is actually delivered, the substitute item is taken back. The client wants to show the substitute item in the plant stock only.....I proposed the solution of consignment sales. I suggested to use the consignment fill up process & then create the consignment pick up order with reference to the consignment fill up order.
I did the following settings:
1. In the customer master I used the partner function as SB alongwith the other basic partner functions SP, SH, BP & PY.
Is my suggestion correct as per the client's requirements?
In my material master I have entered 2 days as the planned delivery time as it is a trading good.
Now i created a consignment fill up sales order for the customer for the item say ABC with quantity as "1". I had 1 quantity in the stock so the quantity was confirmed. I created the delivery - picking - PGI. The system did not generate any FI document for the goods issue.
I checked in MMBE, the system displays 1 quantity under the consignment section. When I double click on the line item, the system displays the customer number also who has received the consignment.
Now i am trying to create the consignment pick up order with reference to the consignment fill up order, but the system while carrying out the availability check determines a delivery date which lies 2 days later. I am confused here, if the item is shown under the consignment stock, why it is not getting confirmed on today's date only.........?
The schedule line determined is F1 which is relevant for AVC & TOR. the movement type is 632.
With best regards,
Niyaz Sayyed

Hi Niyaz.
If the stock is the customer's, and the ownership of the goods is not transferred to the customer until he uses, I think your solution is correct.
In that case, pls change schedule line category from FI to F0. Your problem will be solved.

Consignment Fill up order to be cancelled

Dear Friends,
My client had issues a Consignment Fill up order, and goods were sent to the Agent. But in between truck met with an accident and goods came back to the factory.
In this case, where goods are not reached to the Customer as part of the consignment fill, what should we do?
Should we create Consignment returns with reference to the Consignment Fill up OR Cancel the the Fill up order???
Please assist.
Regards
Trupti Deulkar

Hello Trupti,
If the stock which is transfered to customer consignment via fill up order is lying in customer consginment in stpck overview, then it makes sense to create consignment pick up order, ( which is transferring the stock from consignment back to plant stock unrestricted use.
You need to create consignment pick up order (KA- Order type), with item category as KAN. This wil pick up movement type 632 and stock can be taken back in unrestricted use.
As consignment fill up is not relevant for billing/ invoicing, so as like consignment pick up which is alos relevant for billing.
I forgot to add, nit to go for consignment return, as it is relevant for billing, whereas you have just managed to fill the customer consignment stock via fill order ( mvt type 631), but still the owner ship lies with you, as cosnisgnment fill up is also relevant for biling.
Easy solution is to go for consignment pick up order.

Question about consignment pick-up and stock requirement list

Hello,
why consignment pick-up order is not taking into account as a supply in the stock requirement list?
Thank you,
Gunadi

hi
if you check the the item category KAN for consign pick up at VOV7, you can find out it is a return from the consignment process.
so when the materials are coming in to ur plant, it is not a supply. it is your own material coming back to your stock.
once you do the sales order and PGR( post goods receipt) you can see in MMBE your stock level increases.
hope it is uuseful to u.

Consignment pick up - quantity not confirmed

Dear All,
Iam creating consignment pick up KA order and material is at customer place, but in order its not confirming, i checked MB58 , stocks at customer place, but in order its showing its not confirmed quantity in schedule lines.
Could you all give me some inputs where iam going wrong.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ramki

Hi,
Please check OSS note 1299473 - Consignment pick-up not marked as returns would help you.
Following is the details of the note;
Symptom
You use the order type KA "consignment pick-up". Although this order type specifies returns, it is not marked as returns.
The item category KAN "consignment pick-up" used for the order type KA is marked as a returns item category.
This may result in mixed business transactions that may not be processed correctly by the system in all cases.
Reason and Prerequisites
This is caused by an error in Customizing.
Solution
In Customizing for the order type KA, change the sales document category to returns (TVAK-VBTYP = 'H') to prevent mixed business transactions.
After that, check your business processes with order type KA.
Hope this helps resolve the issue.

GR qty showing less than production order confirmation qty

Hello Experts,
Greetings.
My issue is while doing production order confirmation(CO12),for some materials it shows less GR quantity than the confirmation qty.I m wondering how it can be possible?
What could be the problem?
Plz advice.
Thanks
Nitin

Confirmed qty of each operation and delivery qty at the header are two different fields. Confirmed qty will be the same with the yield to conf. during confirmation. Whereas, the GR qty is equal to the total sum of quantity received from the order.
Check whether during confirmation you create auto GR or not. If yes, then check the COGI t-code. There might be some error log of goods receipt in there. If no, then check GR qty in document goods movement compared to confirmed qty during confirmation.
Hope it helps.

Loss qty related Bill of material move to scrap location automaticaly at the time of process order confirmation

Hi experts,
I need one clarification, i am raise one process order in COR1 - Qty 1000 kg, reservation completed against the process order bill of material main storage location ( 0001 & 0002 ) To Production storage location ( 0004 ) through MB21 with mvnt.type 311, store person also moved the bill of material main storage location ( 0001 & 0002 ) To Production storage location ( 0004 ) through MB1B.
Issue is at the time of confirmation i am enter the OK qty or packed qty in yield column - 950 kg , remaining 50 kg is enter in loss column.> Go to confirmation bill of material qty calculated at only for related in yield qty. Remaining loss qty related bill of material not consumed it is available in production storage location ( 0004 ),then one by one raw material and packing material qty moved to scrap location through MB1A - 541 Mvnt type.
If any other way for easy reservation and goods issue against the process order main storage location to production storage location.
I need at the time of confirmation enter yield qty related BOM qty consumed in 261 consumption, remaining loss qty related BOM qty taken scrap mvt.type 541 in automatically if it is possible for any customization at the time of loss qty enter related bill of material qty also posted in scrap ?
Kindly help me for the issue !
Thanks & Regards,
N.Umapathy

Hi
In Standard practice the scrap generated during the production process should be maintaid as negative qty and with differnent material codes which acts as BY Product.
In your case when you maintain the scrap percentage for BOM components , it will copied to the production order with adtditional qty and it will be consumed when you do confirmation and Goods moevement and at the same time the Scrap material is generated/received with movement type 531( not 541) as by product received out of production.
You can maintain the same BOM component as By product in BOM system will generate the stock to a different SLoc but the cost will be wrong.

Samsung SCH-U370 - In Store Pick-Up - Still Confirming Store Inventory?

I had ordered a new Samsung SCH-U370 on September 22nd (11 days ago) as a cell phone upgrade, which, at the time, was available only online, and only via in-store pick-up. The SCH-U370 is a serious step up from my current phone (and all the other phones on Verizon.com that don't require a data plan), the price was right at $29.99, and luckily I had a Best Buy Gift Card to cover it, so I went ahead and purchased it. Shortly after completing my order, I received the order confirmation email, letting me know that my order is being processed and that Best Buy will "get my order ready as soon as possible." After a couple of days without receiving the pick-up confirmation email, I decided to search for the phone again and check if it's still available, only to find out that it's completely sold out online - practically just after I had ordered it! I've been patiently waiting for 11 days now. I sent two email inquiries to BestBuy customer service, only to receive the same useless automated response telling me to call 888-BEST-BUY if I'm looking to cancel or modify my order. I'm not looking to cancel or change my order! I just want the phone I ordered! Can anyone from Best Buy give me some kind of update on my order? If the phone is even still available? And if it's not, that's really messed up, Best Buy. When I found the phone, it was available, and so I bought it - I should get the phone I ordered, not be told that I can't get it anymore. But if that's the case, can I least get refunded on my gift card?

Since you ordered it for in-store pickup, I would give the store you selected a call to make sure they have it in stock.

Partial Transfer Order Confirmation on Picking Process

We are on the picking process with a delivery and a tranfer order. Movement type MM/WM 601.
We have a transfer order item line for 10 units.
We would like to confirm 7 units against one handling unit and the other 3 units against a different handling unit.
We are using RF transaction pick&pack LM46.
The problem is that we don´t know how to split the line item in 2 different items within the transfer order.
We don´t want to confirm the TO with differences and create a new TO for the remaining 3 units. We don´t want either to confirm the TO using LT12 because the process has to be done trough standard SAP RF.
Could anyone help, please?

hi kumar
If you feel this answer suits your query. Please reward with points.
Transfer order confirmation based on shippingpoint
answer: no the transfer creation not at all based on shipping points.
The transfer confirmation you have to in lt12 transcton with teh rransfer order number. creation of transfer you can do in lt03 transaction with reference to the delivery frrom you will get transfer order number after that you have to confirm, so please work on that,
I hope this answer solve your query.
Thanks & Regards

Consume components that are consigned in service order

Dear CS gurus,
Always wanted to know if this was possible:
Current scenario
1. We need to track materials (spare parts to repair machines) that are moved to specific customer locations. In order to do that, we are using consignment fill-up (via SD).
NOTE: We cannot use SLoc to track these stock because there are just too many locations to track and a more feasible way is to use the consignment method.
2. Since those items are actually spare parts to repair machines (the machines are our asset), we will make a service order (internal work order) to capture cost of repair. We need to indicate the materials that we will use in the Components tab. Since those materials are consigned to customer's site, we won't find those items in the warehouse.
As far as I know, we cannot consume stock that are consigned ... only those in the warehouse.
The current practice is to perform a Consignment pick-up (via SD) to bring the stock from consignment back to warehouse first. Then create the service order and maintain the materials to be used in the Components tab.
My question:
1. Is there anyway to actually consume the consignment stock instead of having duplicate steps as mentioned above?
2. If not, is there a better solution for the above scenario?

Hi
If you consume spares against a Service order, system will automatically book the cost to that order.
1. Move the spares to the Customer site (Consignment stock)
2. Create a Service order when the spares are consumed
3. issue the spares against the service order MB11, 261W mvt.
4. Confirm the time
Labour and Material cost will be booked against the Service order.
Hope this is your requirement.
I Do not agree with your statement "If I were to use MIGO to "consume" the material, I would not be able to collect the cost for the repairs of the machine."

Consignment pick up

Hi Gurus,
I have an order which is consignment pick up and I am not able to create delivery as schedule lines is not confirming any quantity.
I have checked in MMBE & MB58 that stock is available at customer in consignment!
Can you please send some suggestions on how to go about it?
Thanks
Bawa

Hi there,
In VOV7, item catg KAN for consignment pickup, check the field "Schedule lines alowed".
Also when maintaining the schedule line catg determiantion VOV5, propose schedule line F1 which is consignment pickup with MRP.
In VOV6 schedule line catg, movement type is 362, check the fields Req / Assembly (to transfer requirements) & Availability (to do availability).
Then when you enter a SO, system will display schedule lines & confirmed quantity.

Can not confirm the qty in schedule line in MTO case

Hi All,
I used item category ZTAN for Make-to-order purpose when I create the sales order. I set the KEVV for ZTAN in requirement assignment and requirement class 060 is assigned to KEVV.In 060 I set the availiablity is false, requirement transfer is true and Allocation Indicator = 3.
Then I do below transaction in SAP:
1/Create sales order
2/Run MRP
3/Generate the production order
4/GR against production order
5/Create delivery note
By the way, the strategy group for the my finished goods is 40.
But in the step 5, the system tell me that not confirmed qty in the order schedule line so that I can not create the Delivery. I go back to sales order and check the schedule line, but and press the button of Item Availiablity, the system can not confirmed the qty for the schedule line. Do any one know what probelm in my setting or oerations?? I will appreciate if any feedback. Thank you in advance.
