Customer Consignment Tracking

Dear folks,
Besides MB58, are there any reports in SAP that is useful for tracking customers consignments?
Ideally, we would like to track how long a particular stock has been sitting at our customers' location without being sold.
Best Regards,
Junwen

Hi,
If you are enquiring about CUSTOMER consignment stock and not VENDOR consignment stock, then you should also post this question on the SD notice board. The MM functionality only covers vendor consignment stock.

THird Party PO Scenario - GR into Customer Consignment Stock

HI,
In a Third party scenario, is there any possible way to post the GR into Customer consignment stock ?!
In std SAP,
PR is generated from Sales order and the PO is created w.r.to the PR.
PR & PO will have the acct assignment ( sales order) and item category (third party).
during GR, we can't see the stock in the system. because the GR is statistical one since the stock is directly deliverd at customer place.
But in the current world in our case,
the stock is delivered in an external warehouse, from where the goods will be delivered to customer at a later point.
we want to track the stock in external warehouse. so, we want to have this as the "customer consignment stock". ( we may have this as a SLOC and from there we can transfer to customer consignment stock. but there will not be any link for the sales order and this customer consignment stock and moreover during GR we are not updating the stock...)
SO here is the question,
how can we update the stock during GR for Third party order( as far as I know, we can't define new item category).
If we are updating the stock during GR for 3rd party, then we may find a way to post it to the customer consignment....
Pls share your ideas..thanks.

Third Party Consignment? Anyone have an answer? I have the same requirement

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,
Regards,
Murali.

Request for help on Vendor Consignment stock and Customer Consignment Stock

HI Experts,
We have a requirement to segregate the Customer Consignment stock and Vendor consignment stock from the total Consignment stock available in the BW report.
Currently in the report the calculation of total consignment stock is based up on Issued consignment stock and Received consignment stock .
The calculations of the Issued and Received consignments stocks are specified below.
Issued consignment Stock
The below following parameters are checked when the quantity is considered as Issued consignment Stock
Transaction or Process keys : 100, 101, 104, 105, 106, 110
Application    :   MM
Stock relevance : 1
Adding to the above conditions,
u2022     When the stock category is u2018Ku2019, the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Issued Consignment Stock. or
u2022     When the stock category is blank and the stock type is u2018Eu2019 or u2018Ku2019 or u2018Lu2019 then also the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Issued Consignment Stock.
Received Consignment Stock :
The below following parameters are checked when the quantity is considered as Issued consignment Stock
Transaction or Process keys : 000, 001, 004, 005, 006, 010
Application    :   MM
Stock relevance : 1
Adding to the above conditions,
u2022     When the stock category is u2018Ku2019, the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Received Consignment Stock. or
u2022     When the stock category is blank and the stock type is u2018Eu2019 or u2018Ku2019 or u2018Lu2019 then also the Quantity in Base Unit of Measure is assigned to Received Consignment Stock
Only stock category and stock type are available in the BW report for determining the type of consignment stock . So, with respect to stock category and stock type, could you please kindly advise if it is possible to determine the Customer consignment stock and Vendor consignment stock in the report
Thanks a lot
Warm Regards,
Jeswanth

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

Goods receipt of customer consignment pick-up

We would like to receive customer consignment pick-up directly into blocked stock.
The standard setup for customer consignment pick-up receives it into unrestricted stock.
Does anybody know how to do that?

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.

Return of customer consignment stock

Dear all,
If, in the standard SAP system, a return delivery from customer consignment stock is done (sales doc: KA, Mvt: 632) the goods are moved to the unrestricted stock.
This isn't a very good solution, as the users often forget to move the goods to blocked stock (after good receipte from consignment stock) and then, theses goods are included into the MRP Run.
How do you handle returns from consignment stock? Do you have a 'One - Step' solution (consignment customer stock --> blocked stock) in place? If yes, could you please explain me the process you are using?
Do you know why SAP did not implemented the direct movement to blocked stock?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi
It is not possible to post to blocked stock as 632 movement is actually reversal of 631 movement.
631 movement transfer stock from 'unrestricted' to 'customer consignment' .
Business standards will always be to send to 'customer consignment' from unrestricted stock only.
Nobody will ask for sending from 'blocked' to 'customer consignment' and hence SAP did not provide for the same. So reverse also could not be found to put the same to blocked.
Why don't you type below movement type for requirement.
655---goes to QI inspection straight away (you can move them back to unrestricted t code MB1B with movement type 321)
or
657----blocked stocks (you can move them back to unrestricted t code MB1B with movement type 343)

India: Customer consignment with trading goods

Dear all,
we need to implement customer consignment process with trading goods on a depot in India.
But I am lacking understanding how the process works with SAP:
Step 1) consignment fill-up:
We do goods issue, then J1IJ and then a create a proforma invoice. This invoice holding the RG23D entries goes along with the goods to the consignment location. But it is not relevant for payment towards the consignment customer as I have learned.
2) Consignment issue: When we do a consignment issue, how do we get the correct tax amounts into our invoice (BED, CESS, SeCess)? I am told that the excise is only billed to the consignment customer for the actual consumed quantity. This would be with the invoice for the consignment issue. But the pricing procedure does not pick up the partial excise values from RG23D as we do not create any excise invoice for consignment issue, but only SD invoice. So how to get the correct values in the excise conditions?
Can anybody explain to me how this scenario can be handled in SAP without entering condition values manually in the invoice?

Dear tortyv,
As per my understanding of the requirement,
You please check the "VL06" report if it satisfies your requirement you enter the execution parameters and execute.
System will give the list of out bound deliveries. Select one of those and click the details icon (ctrlshiftf3) according to the item view or headder view.
If it does't suit you have to go for z report.
I f you want that please provide the input fields in order to fetch the required data for the report.
Thanks&Regards

Customer consignment stock- REPORTING stock level & goods depatched

Hi all
I'm looking for a report (or reports) which shows the following (bare in mind that this will all be customer consignment stock):
- the delivery numbers
- the previous month's stock level
- the quantity of goods despatched the following month with a rolling calculation
- monthly invoice values
- remaining stock levels (after current months goods have been issued and invoiced)
I'm aware that MMBE/ MB58 shows the current stock levels, however I'm hoping there is a report in SE16 which shows it as a report structure.
I understand that this is a lot of info requested by myself however any information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Negative values on customer consignment stock

Hello,
Is it possible to have negative values on customer consignment stock?
i.e. the same material is sent to a customer, as consignment stock
(special stock W), from different plants. If the material is not used
by the customer (then it has not been billed, as it is on consignment),
the customer can return all that stock to only one plant. This means
that the overall stock for that material on customer consignment will
be cero, but the standard SAP does not allow to return to one plant
more quantity than what it was originally sent from that plant.
Is there a possible workaround to this situation?
Thank you.

maybe that you sold more pieces than you had, and the material master allows negative stock on the plant/storage location.
pls. reward points if helpful
regards
Roberto

Wrongly posted customer consignment

Consignment Fill-up:
A Sales order is created with order type ZCF in T-code VA01.
AMTDE02 is a customer created exclusively for the EXHIBITION.
So, the sales order is created with respect to the customer AMTDE02 and
Outbound delivery is created with order reference using VL01n.
Billing doc. is created using VF01
Excise invoice for factory sale is done using J1IIN
And, Excise invoice is printed using VF02
Here, the machine is sent to Exhibition. And on return,
Consignment pick-up:
Pick-up is done with reference to the sales order using order type ZCP- consignment Pick-up .
and changed outbound delivery using VF02n . But, surprisingly, stock is going and sitting in Customer consignment instead of going back to Customer.
This is overvaluing the stock by about 50 lakhs. So, pls advice on this.
Thanks
PAVAN

Dear jo jo
Issue order is not necessary but fillup order reference will flow in MD04. If it is not flowing, please check the schedule line category E1 which is for fillup. There ensure that you have selected the fields Req./Assembly and Availability.
thanks

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
