Customer Stock in our plant

Hello experts,
I need to manage customer stock in my plant.
I need to sell the goods and this will be deliveried in this customer warehouse in my plant.
Any suggestion?

The question should provide a little bit more details in order to be able to give suitable answer.
Generally, if you store third-party stock in your system, you can solve it via split valuation (defining a valuation type for third-party stock with price 0; you can also maintain a separate plant for third party stock under which the stock is not valuated (you can set it material via master attribute)).
In my opinion you have to solve the increase of third-party stock via development if this is regular and amount of such transactions is high.
When selling the goods to your customer (posting GI against an outbound delivery), an automatic posting should occur creating stock of the valuation type with 0 price. You can e.g. solve this via IDOC (when GI is posted, an output is generated for your outbound delivery, , the output triggers the IDOC, and via the IDOC the stock is posted in to your WH with proper valuation type = 0 price)

Considering Customer Stock for planning in factory location

Hi,
We have 2 customers which send us files with the forecast and the stock figures in their storage locations. When planning, we need to consider both together with our own stock for those articles. However, note that flows are not cross company, neither VMIs.
Stocks are only considered for planning so the idea would be to map the stocks directly in APO with IDOC Proact or a BAPI. Have you ever worked with a solution like this?
Article number are exclusive for each customer so I think that a solution could be to plan considering both stocks (at customer and in our plant) and the forecast that they send. Suggestions about creating stock in our plant which belongs to the customer?
Other alternative is creating the customer locations in APO but I am afraid that it is not fully compatible with R/3 and moreover, sales will be in our plant, and forecast in another (customer). P.e: when sales would create the Sales Orders in our plant to process the delivery, we would have double demand in our plant: from the customer purchase req and the sales order.
Could you please advice if you have worked with any similar flow? Which alternative might work better? Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Carlos

Hi,
Since you mention the value of the parts is very cheap, I would suggest to flag these materials as Bulk and plan them via ROP (say VB) & max lot size (HB). Maintain a suitable ROP, safety stock & max stock levels.
If you want you can also think of using ROP with ext. reqmts. (make a copy of V1 to say Z1) where-in you have flagged order reservation to be considered.
Do a test in your sandbox & if it meets your need adopt the same.

How to keep customer Pattern/Die Equipment in our plant without value

Hi!
Anybody help me to sort out my problem. The scenario is,
How to keep customer Pattern/Die Equipment in our plant without value
1.My client manufacturing material (A), which is used to produce actual finished goods (B). First material (A) is produced and sold to customer due to the high cost of the material. I followed standard sales order process to sell material (A). (But actually that material is not delivered to the customer, we just deliver it only in the system)
2. Then the same material (A) is to be brought in to the plant as customer material. It wont be included in the value of the plant, because it is customers property lying in our plant to produce actual finished goods (B). How to inward the material in to our plant?
3. Pattern/Die material has periodical maintenance to be done by my client. How do we process this in SAP? (Because that material is not our asset or work centre)

Hi,
You have two main options,
Either you receive the material as a non-valuated item (you can use a PO and zero price if you want, or create a new material for it). The problem with this is that if you use Moving Average Prices and don't use a new material it will corrupt the MAP. If you use a separate material then this would be the preferred option.
If you can't use a separate material (i.e. one that is different from the material used to sell it to the customer) then I would use the second option.
The secomd option is to bring the item in as Vendor Consignment stock. This is stock available to use but has nop value until you consume it. The problem with this option is, if you consume the item (in a PP order or goods issue to your own stock or similar) the system will post a liability to the vendor which it will expect top be paid.
So a lot depends on the detailed process you are planniong to use and if it is a separate material master record.

Movement Type from Customer owned Stock back to Plant Stock

Hi Guru's,
Is there a Mov. Type that allows you to transfer from Customer owned Stock back to Plant Stock, without creating any FI Documents? Please help thanks in advance Carlo

What is customer owned stock?
from my point of view it is any stock that you and others sold to this customer. not in your system at all.
If you want to get it back to your promises, then you have to create a customer return.
The customer return goes into return stock, this does not create any financial postings.
But if you transfer the retun stock into own stock, then you create an accounting doc with value (quantity * price / price unit)
You cannot create stock for a valuated material without any financial document

After you deliver you need to bring the material back in the system. You need to use another non-valuated material code for this. So create a material code w.r.t the actual material code and include one more character at the end to identify as customer material. The material type to be UNBW.
Now receive this material using 501 movement. If it is MTO sceanrio then receive the material with 501 E mvt type. Now consume this material while producing material B.
Material B can be dispatched.

STO for a customer/vendor of another plant

Is it possible to transfer a stock from a plant warehouse to a customer or vendor of another plant? What is the procedure?

Thanks. Yes, all our SC vendors are assigned to Plant. Based on Sub con PO created, the vendor stock gets created.
My concern: I want to transfer a stock (as such removal) from one plant say P1 to a customer/vendor of another plant P2. This SC vendor will supply FG to P2 as the Subcon PO is created so. Logically, via ME2O, P2 should provide the component to that vendor. But In real time, physically components are being supplied from P1.
How can I send a stock from one plant to a customer of another plant? This can be done 541 Transfer posting.. From: IG10 Dest: IG14 and with the SC vendor.
But before I do this 541 Transfer posting I need a base order ( I thought STO is the way) from which I should do OBD and then I should go for that 541 transfer posting..
from P1 to SC vendor via P2..
Am I clear? Is it possible?

Stock Transport in Plants Abroad and Tax Reporting

Hello,
We have Plants Abroad and we need to account stock transports between
our plants abroad. We have defined a billing document type for
determining taxes for plants that are abroad, so it appears on Tax
Report and EC Sales List. The issue is that, although the customer
name appears on the billing document, as the stock transport is between
plants of the same society, it does not appear on the accounting
document. So it does not appear on the Tax Report or EC Sales List
neither and this field is necessary for the reporting (but the CIF number appears correctly).
Can anyone help me in this issue?
Thank you,
Silvia

Hi Silvia
If my understanding is correct, you need to generate a report wherein it should show abroad plant wise items sent and quantity.
For this, the material movement should have been 631 and to track the despatch details, goto MB51 and give the movement type in the "Movement Type" field and execute.
Thanks

How to hold the government's stock under our location

Hi All,
We have a scenario where in we need to hold the stock of some government's material in our plant /warehouse. The government agrees to pay for the storage for whatever period of time we need to . What I want to know is
1. Though the stock is at our facility we don't want the stock to be valuated. We will ship the material until the govt asks us to sell. In a nutshell we should be able to hold the stock in our warehouse ,but that should be shown as Gov't stock in the system.
The scenario I am talking about is reverse of Consignment . Please let me know how to achieve this in SAP ECC 5.0.
Thanks
Amrith

Dear Amrith,
I had a simalar problem for Customs Bonded Stocks which were lying at Ports, but we could not own it we had not yet paid the duties.
Just see if it also works for your case with some modifications... :
Bonding and Ex-bonding at Customs
My client is receiving goods at customs and he will keep the goods in custom bonding store. So while receiving the goods at customs office, we should have information and entry into sap and we have to make payment to vendor. But after some time, we will make the payment to customs and we will get the material into our store. So please explain how to configure this?
There are two ways to handle this scenario:
1. Create a separate Plant for Customs Warehouse & post goods in this Plant where they are lying as Bonded stock. Later when you pay duties & release the stock, use Plant to Plant Stock Transfer process & move the stock to your regular Plant after adding Customs duty & other charges.
2. In the existing plant create a Puchase Orer & post a MIGO (GRN) with movement type 105. This will show the stock lying your plants as GR Blocked Stock, there would be no valuation & you cannot futher process this Blocked stock. After you release the goods from Custom bond, post a MIGO with movement type 103. This would valuate the stock & consider it as normal stock available for further processing.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Assign costumer in stock transfer between plants

Hi Gurus!
   I have a problems! I need to assing a customer in stock transger scenery and I can't open the quality and production environment to do this definition.
I customazing the process in SPRO (MM>P>PO>SSTO>Define Shippiment Data for Plants). However, I left the customer in blank because I have a different customer number in each environment.
Do you now the transaction to assign the customer without the open the environment for customazing?
Best regards,
Julio César

Dear Julio César,
                    SAP is very well advanced, before we encountered the problem - SAP has solutioin to it. Just we need to find out the right place. Thats it.
    As expressed by mate, In any project, where if they have STO scenario's ,they will follow either of the possibilites as explained below:-
- Having seperage account Group which has external number ranges.
      - in Development environment we do Customization & to assign the Customer numbers to thhe plant. we create Customers in Dev client. Assign this number in IMG ( Tx:OMGN)
Will transport the Customization to Quality.
Believe me. Transport will be successful. It will not go for any error saying that there is no customer exist in Quality. No it wont say. because its in display mode( as client is locked in Quality). Whenever client is open in Quality, go to this screen , system will trigger error message.
now create same customer numbers in Quality for testing.
Transport the same customization to Production & create Customers in Production as well.
if the account group set to be internal numbers. intially that it until STO customers created in Production. account group set as external number range. Once created another request will be created in Development & transported to Production via Quality.
We practically followed this strategy in 2 of our projects. Withoutt opening the client in Quality or in production.

1) create a 2 material as non valuated (one incoming material "A1"& after processed material"B1")
2) create a BOM. for A1
& assign the B1 and maintain respective conversion
3) create a routing for A1 and assign the relevant work center
4) create a manual PO to receive the material from customer and store it in storage location
5) create a production order and release the order in co01
6)issue the material :B1 to the order 9 in MB1a, 261 movement)
7) and confirm the order (so that cost incurred for order is captured)
8) create a sale order and maintain service price in PR00 and send the material A1 to customer.

Considering stocks of both plants in special procure. type scenario.-urgent

Hi dudes,
Our client is using special procurement type 80(prod.in alternative plant), he is getting planned order in delivering plant as requirement generated by planning plant. while running MRP in both plants, it would consider only the stock of planning plant but not the stock of delivering plant suppose stock is made in delivering plant individually(say manual orders). As the requirement generated by planning plant, the planned order will be generated in delivering plant irrespective of its individual stock.
can we make the system to consider what ever the stock in delivering plant and create no planned order if stock is there.
thanks in advance
Robert

Robert,
If that was your requirement why not use Special Procurement key 70 (Withdraw from alternate plant). In this case system only creates reservation and Planning at Supplying plant will be based on the Net requirement calculation considering all recipets, Stock and Issues.

REG: Creating customer stock for different material codes has an single set

Hi FRIENDS,
we are purchasing finished items from our vendor in numbers (Eg. Item Number 1 to 6 (all different items and having different item codes)) and selling it to our customer in a set ( 1 set contains all this 6 items and we have code for this Set). Please let me know how to create the customer stock for these items in the store as the store shows stock for 7 different items, not in a set.
Please let em know if any more information is nedded

hi dan,
as per your requriment you can have all MRP viewsfor HAWA material type.
that means you are purchasing, use HAWA for finished goods in SAP system.
if you are having different item codes seperately for each item.
take one packing material called CARTON and maintain UOM as 6 items and you can pack the same in BOM.
use PP -PHANTOM - BOM which should add all the 7 materials in & gives one single material as OUTPUT.
use 561 GMT and upload that material as a final finished goods and in MMBE you can see only one called CARTON inside it set of 6 materials will be there.
BUT BE AWARE OF COSTING OF THE MATERIAL because each material will be having the its price. So discuiss with PP as well as FICO consultants.
whether you will cost the total set of carton or individual material
go ahead
test and confirm
this clears your issue

Stock Transport from plant to MRP Area

I have been looking for explanation on how to handle replenishment of MRP area storage location stocks within a plant. We use Special procurement types but they are set up on for plants, not MRP areas. Can anyone explain how this works and the configuration to make it work? Were setting up a warehouse as an MRP area and need to replenish its stocks with MRP.

Aren't your questions answered in SAP online help?
Integration
The process is the same as for Storage Location MRP. In contrast to the storage location MRP, you can use all MRP procedures and are not limited to the reorder point planning procedure.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for MRP, you have created the special procurement key for Stock transfer from plant to MRP area for the plant in which the MRP area is located. You have defined the following parameters:
- Procurement type: F for External procurement
- Special procurement: U for Stock transfer
- Plant: Number of plant, to which the MRP area belongs.
In the material master, you have created the MRP area segment and assigned the special procurement key Stock transfer from plant to MRP area.
Features
During MRP, the system generates a stock transfer reservation for the material in the MRP area and a material reservation in the plant MRP area.
The external procurement storage location that you have entered in the MRP area segment of the material master is used as the receiving storage location. If you have not maintained this field, the system uses the receiving storage location that you entered for the MRP area in Customizing.
The actual procurement is processed by the plant. With stock transfer to the MRP area, you carry out the transfer posting for the material with reference to the reservation.
Standard procurement key 45 is for that purpose: plant: 1000 (V460A-WERKS), procurement key F; special procurement: U; plant: 1000 (V460A-WRK02).
So, in both fields you have to write the same plant as it is clearly written in SAP onilne help.
As SAP help says: a Stock transfer reservation is created. Using MIGO (A08; R09) you can post the goods movement by mvt 311 with reference to the Stock transfer reservation (MB1A is also good).
Why don't you test in in your sandbox system and you will see how it works.
(If you want to use STO (purchasing document type UB) in this process you have to go trough OSS note 599915)

Special Stock Indiacator-Individual customer Stock

Hi,
We have some packing materials (VERP -Material Types) in our BOM.
Once the production order is created a special stock indicator(1-Individual customer stock) is getting assigned in the prodcution order BOM only for those materials.
when the system is performing availablity check during release.The system is giving missing part list even when the stock is availble in the storage location.
Please let me know what

Hi ,
If the individaual collective indicator is blank in mrp 4 view of material master , you will get this type of message , To avoid this fill the value as 1 in that field and check it by creating a new production order .
For the production orders already created remove the spl stock indicator for the material in the components over view ...
