Consignment Stock Automatic Replenishment

Dear SAP Gurus,
We are doing Consignment business with a customer . We use both Fill up and Consignment Issue processes.
I have a unique requirement where we need to maintain minimum stock level at Customer Location . That is whenever Consigment issue happens and the stocks goes below the minimum level at customer site , then we want the SAP system to generate automatic 'Consignment Fill up' to maintain the required stock level .
Is it possible in standard SAP R/3 System ECC 5.0
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom
If you want to maintain a minimum stock level at customers location then on regular basis consignment fillup should take place. So you should be knowing how much stock should be there at consignement place. So when you create a consignment Issue , make the consignement issue delivery dates different dates with some quantities.Then that stock can be filled up at consignee place
Say for example
Consignment Issue --- 100pcs
Consignment Fillup -
1st delivery date 05/01/2009--->50pcs
1st delivery date 10/01/2009--->50pcs
Again on 01/09/2009 you will be doing Consignment Issue for 100pcs. Then again the stock will be reserved
In this way once the consignment issue is done then before that delivery date , you have to create Consignment Issue for some quantity

Replenishment of consignment stock in warehouse

Hello gurus
We are working in a retail system and we have some consignment stock that passes through the warehouse. My problem is when we run LP21 to replenish the picking location it creates the TR, but even if its only consingnment stock in the warehouse it does not set the special indicator and the creation of TO fails in LB10, since we are missing the special stock indicator.
I cant see where i can get the system to also cosider the special stock.
Any tips or tricks here?
Regards
Ivar

You should try to use standard stock determination functionality to determine vendor consigment stock in WM - it can be used for deliveries, production orders, you can even use it for ad-hoc WM-stock transfers (LT01, LT10) which re not directly connected to IM movements.
Please chechk OSS note 365570 as well as SAP online help for details:

Consignment stock replenishment via idoc

We are setting up a scenario, where we receive oderCreate idocs (CIDX format) into our XI system which should trigger a stock replenishment from the producing plant into the customer consignment stock. As the delivery has to be created with reference to a stock replenishment PO there seems to be no process code which could create this delivery. Is there a way to create stock replenishment deliveries with ref. to a PO via idoc? Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Consignment Stock Processing
Purpose
Consignment goods are goods which are stored at the customer location but which are owned by the company. The customer is not obliged to pay for these goods until they remove them from consignment stock. Otherwise, the customer can usually return consignment goods that are not required.
Consignment Fill-Up: Consignment fill-up replenishes the stock at the customer site. Since the goods remain the property of the company, this process is not relevant for pricing and consequently not for invoicing either.
Create a sales order using order type KB.
Enter the required data on the customer, the consignment goods and the delivering plant.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a delivery as the subsequent document for this sales order and, after picking has been completed successfully, post goods issue.
The underlying goods movement type is a stock transfer. This ensures that when goods issue is posted, consignment special stock is created for the customer concerned. If special stock of this kind already exists in the delivering plant for this customer, the goods are posted to this special stock.
Order type: KB (document category C: sales order)
Std. Delivery type: LF
Item category: KBN (not relevant for pricing and billing)
Schedule line category: E1 (relevant for deliveries, uses availability check, 631 (GI consignment: lending) to post the stock into a special consignment category in the delivering plants stock for that particular customer and material)
Copy control rules for the sales doc, item category, and schedule line category.
Use trans MB58 or MMBE to check the stock.
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for taxes, as the stock is still the ownership of the company. In the pricing procedure all condition type except for Taxes should be statistical.
Consignment Issue: The Consignment issue enables the customer to withdraw consignment goods from the special stock that are to be used or sold.
Create a sales order using order type KE.
Enter the required data for the customer, the consignment goods and the plant to which the goods are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a delivery as the subsequent document for this sales order and, after picking has been completed successfully, post goods issue.
The goods are then reduced by the relevant quantity in the special stock assigned to the customer. This goods issue also reduces your total stock.
Invoice the delivery which issues the consignment goods.
Order type: KE (document category C: sales order)
Std. Delivery type: LF
Invoice: F2
Item category: KEN (relevant for pricing and deliver related billing, special stock indicator W, should determine cost too)
Schedule line category: C1 (relevant for deliveries, uses availability check, 633 (GI issue: customer consignment)
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for most of the condition type, as it is being invoiced to end customer.
Consignment returns: proceed as follows: Consignment returns enable your customer to return goods to the consignment stock that has already been issued from it.
Create a sales order using sales order type CR.
Enter the required data on the customer and the consignment goods.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order (the system automatically chooses delivery type LR). The goods issue posting cancels the goods issue posting which was carried out when the consignment goods were issued. This posting records the return of the goods to the plant where goods receipt was carried out.
Create a credit memo for the consignment return you created in Step 1.
Order type: KR (document category H: returns)
Delivery type: LR
Credit for Returns Order type: RE (delivery or order related billing)
Item category: KRN (relevant for pricing and deliver related billing, special stock indicator W
Schedule line category: D0 (relevant for deliveries, no availability check, 634
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for most of the condition type, as it is being returned by the customer & invoicing already done to customer..
Consignment Pick-Up: The company uses consignment pick-up to take back consignment goods that are faulty or excess materials that the customer does not need. This process is not relevant for billing since the goods remain the property of the company.
It may be beneficial to have a mandatory reference such as the consignment fill-up. In addition to it copy control rules can be used to further control it. In the copy control rules indicate the document flow. As the stock is coming back into the warehouse or plant, you can specify a returns shipping point to be automatically determined. No invoice is necessary, as the goods are not changing ownership.
Create a sales order using order type KA.
Enter the required data for the customer, the consignment goods and the plant to which the goods are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
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.
Order type: KA (document category C: sales order)
Delivery type: LR
No invoice
Item category: KAN
Schedule line category: F1 (relevant for deliveries, availability check against the stock on the customers consignment, 632 (Consignment pickup)
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for taxes, as the stock is still the ownership of the company. In the pricing procedure all condition type except for Taxes should be statistical, as the stock is being returned from consignment site to plant.

Consignment stock vs Unrestricted Stock in SAP APO

DC ( has vendor co location) -------> Tier 2 location ( garage)
can consignment stock (ECC) be considered for replenishment at Tier 2 location in SNP APO by Heuristics / optimizer?
to account for replenishment at Garages from the DC locations , can the consignment stock at DC be used ?
does Heuristics / optimizer consider it to propose transfer orders ?

Hi Ashfaq,
You can plan these stocks in APO by integrating it using CIF.
You can activate the transfer of vendor consignment stocks in the integration model by using the Storage Location Stocks indicator in the CIF integration model.
Make sure that the vendor master data must be contained in the same integration model as the stocks.
Cheers

Create Transfer Order from TR - Consignment stock

Hi,
I've implemented vendor consignment stock in SAP. However I cannot get it fixed that when an TO is created from an TR that a TO is created for the material which is a part of the consignment stock.
Is it possible to make a TO automatic (with LT04) that also creates a TO with consignment stock as a source bin?
Thanks

Hi,
Below is a screenshot of the Transfer requirement:
Item 1 (1100-0002-0000) is a non-consignment material and item 2 (5800-0001-0001) is a consignment material which is stored on a consignment location.
With Tcode LT04 (Create Transfer Order from TR) it is possible to create a TO for a TR.
After clicking enter, the following screen appears
When I click Generate TO Item the system automatically creates a TO for material 1100-0002-0000. However the system cannot create an TO for material 5800-0001-0001. It gives the following screen. With the notice that the system cannot find the source storage bin.
The goal is that the TO is automatic created (just as for item 1) for this material. Thus the material can also be picked directly.
Hope this clarifies the issue.
Thanks.

Consignment Scenario- Customer replenishment

Hello ,
We currently have DP and PPDS implemented in our system , we are planning to have consignment scenario implemented where the customer sends in the forecast to APO DP .
1) How would the process be if we do not want to implement SNP,Deployment , TLB . Can we still go ahead and implement it . How would the process be . The help document says that once the TLB shipment is sent to ECC an Consignment order is created , but in our case we do not want to implement SNP , Deployement , TLB can we still be able to do it .
Regards,
Nick .

Our requirement is to do consignment scenario , that is replenish the customer warehouse consignment stock .
The standard Consignment process as listed in help document is we receive the forecast , run SNP , deployment and tlb . Then transfer the TLB shipments to ECC which create Sales orders .
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/5c/3f9df8bbc34413809579fc5d18414e/content.htm
Q1) Is there a way we can achieve this scenario without implementing Deployment and TLB .

Nick

Hi
Any one help me in understanding the Customer Consignment Process.

A has the SO .The stocks are Available in B Company .We need to Move the Stock from one company to direct consignment.
Any help will be highly appreciated .
Thanks
Jeevan

Hi Nick,
1. Go through Consignment Stock Processing
Purpose
Consignment goods are goods which are stored at the customer location but which are owned by your company. The customer is not obliged to pay for these goods until they remove them from consignment stock. Otherwise, the customer can usually return consignment goods which are not required.
Consignment processing offers the participating partners several advantages. Customers store the consignment goods at their own warehouses. The customer can access the goods in the consignment warehouse at any time. They are only billed for the goods when they are removed from the warehouse and only for the actual quantity taken.
Since consignment stocks still form part of your valuated stock, you must manage this stock in your system.
However, consignment stock must be
Managed separately from the rest of your stock so that you know exactly what stock is stored at the customer location
Managed separately for each customer
In inventory management, the consignment stock is managed as special stock in your inventory and is assigned to specific customers. This enables you to keep track of returnable packaging stock by customer.
If the consignment stocks are not managed by the sold-to party but by a central office, you can use the partner function for special stock partner.
Prerequisites
Special Stock Partner
The special stock partner has been defined for carrying out consignment stock processing by means of a third party rather than the customer. This means you can manage all special stock under one partner. It makes sense to use the special stock partner if your customer is using decentralized order processing but manages consignment stock centrally.
Inventory Management Using the Special Stock Partner
If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner, proceed as follows:
Create a customer master record for the special stock partner (account groups 0001 and DEBI are defined for this purpose in the standard system).
Enter the special stock partner in the relevant customer master record on the partner screen using the partner function SB.
When you create an order for this customer, the system automatically proposes the partner function SB in the document header and the document items. Consignment goods which have been entered in a consignment fill-up are always posted to the stock of the special stock partner when goods issue is carried out. You can also enter the partner function SB manually in the document header or in the relevant items if a special stock partner is required and is not proposed from the customer master record. If a special stock partner does not exist in the document header, inventory management is carried out using the sold-to party.
Process Flow
There are four main transactions for processing consignment stock in the R/3 System, all of which support separate management of stock:
Consignment fill-up
Consignment fill up is used to supplement the customers consignment stock.
Goods issue of the appropriate stock is posted from the unrestricted-use stock to consignment stock (special stock). The goods remain in the possession of the vendor.
When you ship consignment stock to the customer, you record the transaction by creating a consignment fill-up order (order type KB). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
If special stock does not yet exist in your inventory for the customer (or special stock partner), the system creates it when goods issue is posted
The relevant quantity is removed from regular inventory in your plant and is added to the special stock for the customer. The total valuated stock for the plant remains the same.
The transaction is not relevant for pricing since the consignment stock remains the property of your company.
Consignment pick-up
Consignment issue enables the customer to take consignment goods from the special stock for their use or to sell.
Consignment issue involves removing the goods from the special stock and making it the property of the customer.
When the customer removes consignment stock to use or sell, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment issue order (order type KE). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from both the customers special stock and your own total valuated stock.
The transaction is relevant for pricing since the goods now become the property of the customer.
Consignment issue
Any consignment goods stored at the customers warehouse that havent been used can be reposted to your companys warehouse with a consignment pick-up.
If the customer returns consignment stock to you, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment pick-up order (order type KA). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from the customers special stock and is added back into your regular stock at the plant where the goods are returned. Your total valuated stock remains the same since the returned stock was regarded as part of your own inventory even while it was at the customers premises.
This transaction is not relevant for billing.
Consignment return
Consignment returns are used for when your customer wants to return goods to the consignment stock.
If the customer wishes to claim on consignment goods which have already been issued, you can record this transaction by creating a consignment return order (order type KR). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is added to the customers special stock at the plant where the goods are returned
Since the ownership of the goods is passed from the customer back to your company, the transaction is relevant for billing. In this case, the customer receives a credit memo for the returned goods.
Depending on the settings in Customizing for Sales, you can create consignment returns with direct reference to a consignment issue. The consignment issue appears in the document flow for the consignment return. This function is not supported in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System.
When you create consignment returns in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System, the system automatically sets a billing block. To credit a return, you must first approve the request for a credit memo by removing the billing block in the return header. You can control the automatic setting of a billing block in Customizing for Sales.
The following order types used in the standard system for processing consignments:
Transaction
Sales order type
Consignment fill-up
KB
Consignment issue
KE
Consignment pick-up
KA
Consignment return
KR
Pricing and Availability Check
Whether pricing is carried out for the individual transactions depends on the item category. The schedule line category controls the availability check and the transfer of requirements in each of the transactions. The schedule line category itself is determined by the item category and the MRP type of the material. The order types KE and KA check against the consignment stock for the customer involved and order type KB checks against your own plant stock. Requirement records for consignment stock are stored as individual requirements, independently of the setting in the material master record.
2. You can sell the products to the same customer through other sales areas with configuration of common divisions and distribution channels.
3. Go through the IMG settings Sales and distribution --> billing ---> Inter company billing
I hope It will give you some Idea,

Murali.

Backflushing of consignment stock

Hello,
I would like to consume consignment stock during PP order confirmation 261K. It should work automatically as a backflushing.
BOM is selected from superBOM and items are mixed:
class position, material position etc.
I tried to configure stock determination strategy (Transaction OSPX) and then OPJ2 but it doesn't work.
I need to configure the system to put automatically 3 - consignment stock into Special Procurement in component overview (production order).
It concerns material position.
Does exist any possibility to configure backflushing of consignment stock like that?
Thanks and regards,
Po_well

Hi Pawel,
You also need to maintain in transaction "OSPX" Stock determination header table and Stock determination Item table for the Plant/Stock determination group/rule combination. In the item level details define priority for special stock indicator "K".
Note: Please see that you are using the Stock determination rule used in OPJ2 for the plant/order type defination combination and also in the component material master assigned Stock determination group in MRP2 view for the above defination.
Hope this helps....reward your points,
Regards,
Prasobh

Sales from vendor consignement stock

Is it possible to configure sales item catogory and schedule line to automatic withdraw stock from vendor consignement stock?
I will assume that the special stock vendor consignement must be assigned to the item category, but there are no standard item categories in standard SAP with this special stock vendor consignement.
Which movement type in the sales delivery should be used for this ?
Please help with some input on how to configure this scenarioe.
Best regards,
Terje

Hi Paul
Check for movement type 601 , wheather item category K and special stock K are maintained or not. I suppose for movement type 601 item category K and special stock K are not supported and that is the reason you are facing the error

Automatic Replenishment for Fixed Bins

Hi,
We have successfully implemented Automatic Replenishment for our Fixed Bins when Picking Transfer Order is Confirmed. We have used the scenario where full stock removal (a palletized quantity) is removed from the source bin and only the Replenishment quantity is placed in the destination bin with the difference quantity placed into a Return bin in a consolidation storage type. This is accomplished in a single Transfer Order. We use RF Scanning to confirm the Fixed Bin Replenishment.
Our problem now is the following:
There is no positive instruction that the full quantity must be removed from the Source bin and the remainder quantity placed into the Return bin.
Question:
Can the Replenishment Transfer Order be split automatically into two. One to Replenish the Fixed Bin and the other to move the remainder to the Return bin.
Our SAP system is: SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7
Thanks and regards,
Mike

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Through all my investigation you have confirmed the conclusion that I suspected. Thank you.
Is there possibly a different solution? Is there a User Exit or Function Module that can be called/used to create another TO while creating the automatic replenishment TO? We could then use this separately to move the stock to the consolidation area.
Thanks,
Mike

Need to understand and review the implications of how consignment stock are

Need to understand and review the implications of how consignment stock are managed in SAP - both from a material issue and from a costing perspective

Hi,
Consignment Stock means your Vendor stores there material in your company premises(It remains the property of the supplier until it is actually used or consumed, when ever you want you can use it for consumption as per your requirement. Unless you consumed, It is regarded as non -valuated stock.
Goods receipts into your consignment stock with or without reference to a purchase order can be done. The vendors consignment price for a material must be determined before you post the goods receipt. A goods receipt to consignment stock does not change the valuated stock quantity, since the material still belongs to the vendor.
The steps for Consignment Process are:
1. Consignment info record(ME11),
2.Souce List(ME01)
3.PO with item category K( ME21N)
4.GR WRT to PO (stock will be shown as material provided by Vendor)
5.Consuption Posting (Creates Invoice automatically)
6.Invoice Verification in MRKO.
7.Payment to vendor(F-53)
The account entries in GR,GI and IR are as follow;
Goods Receipt:
No Accounting Documents
Goods Issues:
Consumption A/C: DR,
Consignment(Liability Account ) Payable: CR,
Consignment Settlement:
Consignment (Liability Account )Payable: DR,
Vendor Account A/C: CR

Consignment Stock movements in ORT_C37

Hi Experts,
I am working on BW IS-Retail implementation. In my project for stock information, we are using 0RT_C37 infocube. But I am not getting the consignment stock material movements in my report. Please let me know how to get the consignment material movements in 0rt_c37 infocube.
Any enhancements required for 2lif_03_bf infosource. I saw the consignements stock movements in 0IC_C03 cube. But I am using 0rt_c37 cube for retail values.
Please help me out from this issue.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi
There are two option for u
First option is...you can update the same cube with another infosource and updat rule to feed the data into the cube and get the consignment stock detail
this should not affect the data consistency or granularity of the cube....
Second option is..as already said create a multiprovider or infoset depending on the report...if u feel joins wil be useful go for infoset query or union condition is sufficing ur report requirement go for multiprovider....
this should not affect the reporting performance as joins are done during runtime and may take some time to fetch

Consignment stock in MC.9 report

Hi All.
In MC.9 report, consignment stock is consider under valuated stock or non valuated stock.
I run MC.9 report in two different system. In one system consignment stock is under valuated stock while in other it is not considered as valuated stock. Which system is correct.
If consignment stock is valuated stock then why it is not considered as valuated stock in other system.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Regards
chetan

Hello,
The stock of MC.9 reflects the complete stock at plant level. It includes also the sock of material which one is send to vendor.(Subcontracting) You can also cross check through MMBE in which stock prov. to vendor is different.
While MB5B had three radio buttons for stock type.
1 - Storage loc/Batch stock - which not include the materials provided to vendor.
2 - Valuated stock - - Total valuated stock as per your selection crieteria.
3 - Special stock -- all the special stock such as subcontracting/pipeline/consignment.
If you click on Valuated radio button and execute it, you will get same stock under head Closing stock and the value will same as the value in MC.9
--Just click Valuated stock radio button.
