Customer consignment materials - process flow

Hi PP Guru's,
pls explain customer consignment materials - process flow ?
how to recd parts and transaction for consignment parts.
customer ordered FG, but some of the components (items) customer consignment parts, other parts buying from other vendor.
Regards,
Sankaran

One alternative would be:
- Customer material (CM) are non valuated ones.
- BoM contains both CM and normal raw materials (CS01)
- Routing ot Recipes is the base for manufacturing costing (CA01 or C201).
- Create a process order for the product (COR1)
- Do the whole processing of the order (release, GI, GR, Confirmation, Settlement).
-.Delivery the product to the customer (and eventually the remaining CM )
The process is just like the normal, only there are some differences in costing, and the stock of CM has no value.

Movement type for Customer Consignment Pickup : matl returned to QI stock

Hello guys,
Our client wants their customer consignment materials are returned back into our QI stock. Currently the standard SAP only provide movement type 632 (Trans.pstng fm customer consgmt to unrestr. stck) to return from Customer consignment stock into Unrest stock.
Could you please let me know how can we fullfill our client schema with standard SAP mov.type?
Or should I create new movement type which is reduce cust.consgn.stock and increase our QI stock ? If yes, how do the configuration will be?
Please help me guys,
Many thanks in advance

Hi guys,
Priyanka, thanks for the answer
mmm.. ya I have proposed that too, I meant it should be 2 steps process
but they rejected it because if material to be returned into unrest, it will be Physical Pickup consignment schema (material returned physically to us). So they need another schema that will be used for logical consignment pickup which is the material doesnt returned into stock phisically.
Ya, that's a questionably schema, but I really need to know if there is another way to fullfill this schema, e.g. by creating new movement type ?
Many thanks ya..

Returnable packaging in customer consignment process

I have this scenario:
I have returnable packaging (drums) that have been setup as non valuated materials in SAP. The item category in deliveries in YB10.
These drums have serial numbers. Since some maintenance needs to be done on these drums from time to time, therefore, equipment's need to be created for the drums. The equipment number and serial number are the same and the serial number profile is setup in such a way that the equipment is created automatically when the serial number is created
When the drums are in stock, the status is ESTO
Now, in the normal order to cash process, this is what happens:
1) Sales order - order is created for a material
2) Delivery - The drums are added to the delivery along with the material through a packing proposal. A serial number is specified for the drum and the order is PGI'ed to the customer
At this point, the status of the equipment/serial number changes to ECUS
3) Billing - normal billing (drums are billed)
4) Return delivery YBG5 - the empty drum is accepted back into warehouse
After PGR, the status of the serial number changes back to ESTO
During the customer consignment process, this is what is happening:During the consignment fill up when stock goes from warehouse to customer, the status of the serial number is changing to ECUS
During consignment issue, since we can only issue whatever material is there, the same serial number that was used during fill up is being used
However, when we do a delivery against the consignment issue, we are getting an error that the status of the serial number is ECUS and it is not suitable for movement
Since consignment stock is still owned by the company until an consignment issue is done, I am wondering whether SAP is behaving correctly by changing the status of the serial umber to ECUS after the consignment fill up.
Is there a way to use the same serial number in the consignment issue as the consignment fill up?
Please reply urgently

Try the following
Go to OMWB transaction and simulate the posting using your plant, material and movement type
The simulation will show the standard postings based upon goods movement
E.G. 601 GBB VAX valuation class, account
Identify your accounts assigned to both sides of the posting and then you should be able to re-assign the g/l accounts to the appropriate modifier string within OBYC
Hope it helps

Customer consignment with intercompany process

Hello,
Has anybody worked on Customer consignment with intercompany process. If yes, what are the main points to be taken into or configured for this process ?
regds

Hello Intercompany Gurús
I would like to know in case posible, the drawbacks of the folloing situation:
We have 2 plants, 1 selling plant (Plant1)in company code and 1 shipping plant (Plant2) in anothr company code working inside interconmpay + consignment process, plant 2 ships directly to cutomer consignment of plant 1´s customer (no phisical recepction in plant 1)
Customer place a Consignment fill up order in plant 1
Plant 1 place a PO for qtys needd to plant 2 as the consignment fill up order is intrcompany as well so PO is generated
Plant 2 generates a New Consignment Fill Up order with sold to as plant 1 and ship to customer consignment door
Plant 2 makes PGI and place stock in cutomer consignment line (ship to) and plant1 (sold to)
Plant 2 generates an intercompany invoice to plant 1
Customer will invoice to plant 1 base on consumption
So no reception is needed in plant 1
Is it posible this scenario?
Thanks and regards

How to create accounting document in customer consignment process?

Hi,

Thanks

Hi, there is not standard solution, we did customized process for consignment credit block , check below
1. defined status profile - with lock/auto/approved/rejected and new t.code for approval or rejected.
2. maintained consignment credit limit in Z table

5. if value is less than Z table then status AUTO, which do not need release, if value is greater than Z table put status LOCK means credit block need to release from new T.code.

Consignment stock process

consignment stock process

Hi Deva
Please find the Consignment Sales Process in SAP
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.

Consignment Sales Process in India

Hi Gurus,
I want to know what is process flow for consignment sales
, e.g
VA01(KB/CF) -->VL01N(LF).........AND SO ON
Where do the Excise Transactions come into picture?
In consignment Fill-up, Do we generate Excise Invoice and what will be the rate of Excise duty?
Will Consignment-Pick-up be treated as Returns in context of Excise Duty?
Your responses will surely be appreciated and rewarded.
I have searched in forums, But process flow is not there.
regards,
Sapologist

I have searched in forums, But process flow is not there
I am sure, this is not a true statement !!!!!!!!
Many times, this topic was discussed in forums and almost every time, the process has been explained. In fact, on many occasions, I myself had explained.
One more time, I explain as below
Consignment Fillup Process
a) First you have to create a fillup order (type KB) from delivering plant on Sold to Party who places the order on plant. Based on this, plant proceeds with manufacturing and make ready the stock.
b) Once stock is ready, you would move the goods from delivering plant to special stock (Cust.Consignment) via fillup delivery (type LF) with movement type 631. Here once you do PGI, no material document would generate due to the fact that you just transfer the stock from one place to another place within the company code.
c) Next you generate proforma (type F8) against this PGId document where the excise duty would be statistical. Here also, no accounting document would be generated
d) Since the materials are being moved from manufacturing unit, you need to generate an excise invoice referencing the proforma and here, the excise people, will decide whether the exports (if it is exports) is to be made against Rebate or Bond or LUT. Here also, no accounting document would be generated
This ends the fill up process
The next stage is Consignment Issue Process.
a) Here you create an issue order (Type KE) referencing the proforma from the warehouse.
b) Against this issue order, you generate an issue delivery for the quantity whatever inwarded by end customer with movement type 633. Here a material document would generate as the stock goes out of the company
c) Finally you generate a commercial invoice (type F2) on end customer for whatever quantity they inwarded. Here also, an accounting document would be generated.
Hope now it is clear.
thanks

in consignment process, we have 4 stages.
first phase, company fill the goods at customer site,
still it is the property of company , is called as
consignment fill up,(CF)
When the customer consumes that material company issues the
invoice is called as consignmnet issue (CI)
if the customer finds tht he got any material defective he
returns is called as consignment return (CR)
when customer requests the company to take back the material
which is not sold by the consumer, the company will pick
this stock from the customer site is known as consignment
pick up (cp)
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).

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.

Consignment sale process

hi gurus,
in consignment sale process we will fill up at customer place after that in consignment issue the material will be issued and we run the cycle as OR-Lf-F2. here how the system know that the material has been issued.
in consignment returns and pick up we run again the OR and LF only, here for the returns process how we do the delivery as well as credit memo.
please help me.
David.

Dear David
For information, there are two types of document types for Consignment fillup process
a) Fillup Process - KB-LF-F8 and
b) Issue Process - KE-LF-F2
In fact in consignment fillup process, we are transferring the goods from FG stores to another warehouse and NOT at customer place, as indicated by you. While making fillup delivery via 631 movement, the stock will be transferred from Unrestricted to "Cust.Consignment". As and when you issue to end customer, you create issue delivery and commercial invoice.
Below is the detailed 4 process of consignment fillup and issue process.
1) Consignment fillup (send materials to customer consignment).
Here you have a consignment fillup order and a consignment fillup delivery.
2) 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).
3) 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).
4) 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.

Process flow in EWM

hi all,
i am a mm consultant presently now in to integration part of SAP ERP with SAP EWM.
I want to know the basic concepts and the process flow of SAP EWM.
BASIC STEPS FOR INBOUND AND OUTBOUND CONFIGURATION IN sap EWM.
Regards,
velu

Hi,
High level:
EWM is based on deliveries which are replicated from the ECC system. Master data (materials, vendors etc) is replicated via the core interface from APO (CIF).
You assign a dummy 3-digit WM number to an EWM SLOC. In EWM, you assign the 3 digit WM number to a 4-digit EWM number. Furthermore, the supply chain unit (is masterdata) is important as well and gets assigned to the EWM number.
You need to map the delivery types and categories to EWM as the deliveries are the main component in EWM. Most of the customizing is based on condition technique which makes it flexible. HU's are important as well. After receiving for example the inbound delivery in EWM, it becomes an inbound delivery notification. Depending on the processing status, it becomes an inbound delivery. After finishin the processing of the delivery, EWM reports back to ECC and the status of the delivery is updated in ECC again.
There are some new features; labor management, slotting and rearrangement etc which can be usefull.

MdZ

Plant determination in Sales and distribution:
To determine the plant in an order the system checks the master in the following order:
a)     Customer material info. record of the sold-to party
b)     Customer master record of the ship-to-party
c)     Material master record of the material
Shipping point determination
The following rule is used in determining shipping point in a sales order   :
Plant + Shipping condition (Sold-to-Party) + Loading group                  Shipping point
                                                      Maintained in Material master Gen: Plant data
Route determination

     Goods Issue date
     Delivery date
Availability Check in SAP:
     Availability check is carried out at item level for a plant
     Availability check is done on the material availability date
     If material availability date is in the past the forward scheduling is done, if not backward scheduling is done.
Item category determination in the order:
Item category denotes the category to which the item belongs and the following rule is used for determination of item category. Item category controls the way in which item behaves in a sales document.

Schedule line category:
Every item which has a delivery will have a schedule line and the schedule line category is determined with the following rule:
Item category + MRP type(Material Master)         Schedule line category
Schedule line category mainly controls:
     Delivery Block
     Movement type
     Item relevant for delivery
     Req/Assembly
     Availability
     Product Allocation
Copy Control:
Copy control is normally set for
     Header
     Item
     Schedule line levels
To control copying procedure we have
     Data transfer routines
     Copying requirements
     Switches
Pricing Procedure determination:
Pricing is an important component in SAP-SD. Once an order is entered taking into consideration some major factors, the pricing procedure for the particular order is determined.
The major factors taken into consideration for pricing procedure determination is:
Sales area
+
Customer Pricing procedure(Customer Master Sales area data)
+
Document Pricing Procedure(Sales Document Type)
Pricing Procedure
What are the components of pricing procedure?
How is that a person should work on Pricing Procedure?
To start with first
Define a Condition table:
What is a condition table?
A table where the key fields are data combinations for which messages are triggered (and offered for processing).
For each data combination, there is a condition record in the table. The data part contains the actual message.
As mentioned above a condition table is a table which carries key fields for picking up the prices.
Define Access Sequences
The access sequence is a search strategy which the SAP System uses to search for condition records valid for a condition type.
For example, you can define for a price that the SAP System first searches for a customer-specific price and then for a price list price.
Recommendation
     If you define your own access sequences, the key should start with the letter Z since SAP reserves this letter for the standard system.
     Do not change access sequences contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Check to what extent you can use the access sequences contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
2. Create new access sequences by copying a similar access sequence and changing it according to your needs. Specify an alphanumeric key which may have up to 4 digits and a textual description.
3. Maintain the accesses for the access sequence by specifying the condition tables in the desired sequence. With the sequence, you define the priority of the accesses. You can display combinations of key fields using possible entries.
4. Generating the accesses is no longer necessary as of 3.0, as this is carried out automatically. You can generate the accesses manually, if required, by choosing "Utilities".
Example
In pricing, you use a customer-material discount. The condition records you create are based on customer data from the document header and material data from each document item. The discount is only valid for 2% of your customers, however. Normally, this would mean that the system would needlessly search through every available item for 98% of your customers. In this case, pre step would improve system performance.
Define Condition Type
A characteristic of a condition. For example, in pricing, different condition types are used to distinguish between a discount that refers to a net price and a discount that refers to a gross price.
Price elements are represented in the SAP system by condition types. Price elements can be, for example, prices, surcharges, discounts, taxes or, freight, and are stored in the system in condition records.
You can, for example, define whether a discount is calculated as a percentage or a fixed amount using the condition type.
You specify an access sequence in every condition type. Thus, you define which fields the SAP system checks when searching for a valid condition record.
Note
     The pricing procedure groups all condition types together which the SAP system is to automatically take into account during pricing for a business transaction (see the section "Define and assign pricing procedures").
Remember that you can only specify manually in a document those condition types which are contained in the pricing procedure.
     You can change the outcome of pricing in the sales document manually. You can limit options for changing a condition type in this IMG step.
Recommendation
     If you define your own condition types, the key should start with the letter Z since SAP reserves these letters for that purpose in the standard system.
     Do not change the condition types which are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Check to what extent you can use the condition types contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
2. Create new condition types by copying a similar conditions type and changing it according to your requirements. One reason for creating a new condition type is you may require a calculation rule for a discount which is not available in the standard system.
Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 4 digits, and a textual description.
Specify an access sequence for the condition types. You do not need to specify an access sequence for header conditions.
3. Maintain the detail screen of the condition type.
You can also assign a reference condition type if the condition types you are working with are similar. Then you will only have to maintain condition records for the reference condition type.
In addition, you can define the upper and lower limits for the value of a condition at condition type level. This way, you limit the amounts or the scale values in the corresponding condition records.
Define Pricing Procedures
The pricing procedure defines the conditions permitted for a document and the sequence in which the system takes these conditions into account during pricing.
A standard pricing procedure is defined in the standard SAP system. It contains conditions most commonly used. These include material prices, discounts, and surcharges, such as freight, or tax.
SAP Recommendation
     Define your own pricing procedures which contain only those condition types which you use. Otherwise, the system makes un neccessary accesses to conditions.
     Do not change the pricing procedures contained in the standard SAP R/3 System.
Actions
1. Create new pricing procedures by copying a similar pricing procedure.
o     Specify a key with up to 6 characters and a description.
o     For a procedure, specify the condition types in the sequence of their usage.
Maintain the lines of the pricing procedure
2. Afterwards define the customer determination procedures for determining the procedure.
3. Define the document pricing procedures for determining the procedure.
4. Assign the procedure to the sales document types and billing types.
5. To determine the procedure, define the allowed combinations of:
o     Sales area
o     Customer pricing procedure
o     Document pricing procedure
o     Pricing procedure
