How to process returnable packaging to carrier?

Dear All,
Could you let me know if it is possible to process returnable packaging going to carrier? If so, could you let me know how?
Thank you. Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lem

Hi ,
Create your Carrier as a Special Stock Partners in SAP.Assign them to your Sold to Party (Customer) Master record.
The Special Stock Partner Functions key is SB.
Create the Returnable Packaging Material .The Item Category Group 'LEIH' is the SAP standard for Returnable Packaging Material..
At Sales Order level the standard Item Category is 'TAL'(Returnable Packaging).
You can view the Consignment stock which is with the Carrier (Special Stock Business Partner ) in MMBE.
You can charge them if the Carrier doesn't return back the material by creating Returnable Packaging Issue which will enable you to create Invoice.
You can take back the returned Packing Materials back into stock by creating a Returnable Packaging Pick up document.
Have a Nice Day.
Regards,
Ravi

How to trace Returnable packaging material pending with the Customer.

Hello Everyone,
In case of Returnable packaging,
Is there any standard procedure, by which system can give you number of returnable packaging material with the custome.

How to attach returnable packaging material to raw material or semi-finished material or finished material?

Hello experts,
i want to send raw material to a subcontractor for external process. my raw material is Steel Rods and i am sending it for some micro blasting process or some finishing process.
i want to send the plastic crates with the rods. (capacity of 1 plastic crate is of maximum 6 rods).
my problem is, whenever i send the rods, the system should ask to send the plastic crates according to the qty of rods.(for 1 to 6 rods = 1 plastic crate).
if crates are not present in stock then system should not allow to send the raw material or rods to suppliers.
the plastic crates are my assets. it should be return back the same way as per the return qty of rods. and i should get the report like, how many plastic crates are laying with how many suppliers, when i had sent the plastic crates to suppliers, with what type of material, and how much cost of plastic crates is laying with my suppliers etc.
is it possible in SAP? if yes then please let me know what type of settings i have to do in SAP?

Returnable packaging from customers

Hi,
how Returnable packaging from customers is handled in sd module... in sales order, delivery.... etc.
could someone explain with the help of a business scenario with config.
regards
sachin

Hi..
When you sell goods to a customer, you may send the goods in returnable packaging. During sales order processing, you simply enter the returnable packaging as an item in your order. You can process returnable packaging either as main items or as sub-items. For example, if you sell drinks in bottles and want the empty bottles to be returned, you can enter the bottles as sub-items for the drinks in the sales order. The item category group LEIH must be assigned to the bottles in the material master record so that they are processed as returnable packaging. During processing, the system recognizes that it is dealing with returnable packaging because the item category group LEIH is assigned to the material. The system then determines another item category in the sales order to allow the material to be processed as returnable packaging. As a result of entering returnable packaging in a sales order, 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.
Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
If the customer returns the returnable packaging to you, you record the transaction in the system by creating a returnable packaging pick-up order (order type LA). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from the customeru2019s 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 customeru2019s premises.
This transaction is not relevant for billing.
Returnable Packaging Issue
In the following situations, you can create a returnable packaging issue order (order type LN):
The customer decides to keep the returnable packaging
The customer damages the returnable packaging and you decide to charge the customer
The customer sells the returnable packaging to a third party
As a result of processing a returnable packaging issue, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from both the customeru2019s special stock and your own total valuated stock.
The transaction is relevant for billing since the goods have become the property of the customer.
Sales Order Types
The following table provides an overview of the order types used in the standard system for processing returnable packaging:
Transaction
Sales order type
Returnable packaging pick-up
LA
Returnable packaging issue
LN
When you ship returnable packaging to the customer, you do not need to use a special order type. The transaction is a normal business transaction and you can use either a standard sales order or, if appropriate, a free of charge delivery.
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 LN and LA check against returnable packaging for the relevant customer. Requirement records for returnable packaging stock are stored as individual requirements, independently of the setting in the material master record.

Returnable packaging scenario

returnable packaging scenario

Hi,
Returnable packaging consists of materials that are stored at the customer location but which remain the property of your company. The customer is only required to pay you for the returnable packaging if he does not return it to you by a specified time. Using this function you can, for example, process euro-pallets. You can also use it to resell returnable packaging to a third party. Since stocks of returnable packaging form part of your valuated stock even when they are at the customer site, you must manage them in your system.
However, stocks of returnable packaging 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
Inventory management treats returnable packaging as special stock in your inventory and is assigned to specific customers. This enables you to keep track of returnable packaging stock by customer.
Prerequisites
Settings in the Material Master Record
A prerequisite for returnable packaging processing is that the value LEIH (returnable packaging) is entered in the material master record on the second sales screen in the Item category group field. This entry in combination with the document type automatically determines the appropriate item category for each transaction involving the material.
Settings for the Special Stock Partner
You must define a special stock partner for processing returnable packaging when a third party is involved. This means you can manage all special stock under one partner. You might use this partner function if your customer, for example, uses a decentralized order processing system but manages returnable packaging centrally. You can also use this partner function to process returnable packaging when a carrier is involved (for example, for euro-pallets). If you want to process returnable packaging using the special stock partner, first make the settings which are described for Consignment Stock Processing.
If you want to manage returnable packaging for a carrier, for whom a vendor record already exists, you must also create a customer master record for the carrier. You are then able to assign returnable packaging stock to the carrier.
Process Flow
There are three main transactions for processing returnable packaging, all of which support separate inventory management:
Creating Returnable Packaging Shipments
Creating Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Creating Returnable Packaging Issue
Returnable Packaging Shipments
When you sell goods to a customer, you may send the goods in returnable packaging. During sales order processing, you simply enter the returnable packaging as an item in your order.

thnkss for the process chart for Returnable packaging but i request u to help me wit the customization settings for Returnable packaging......and also how things are to be defined in MMAster for the same

Hello Maddy,
Returnable packaging (Special Stock V)
 Returnable packaging material is used as it is not always possible for a company to include the cost of packaging material in the cost of sale, as some packaging material could be expensive enough that the company cannot afford the customer to keep or destroy it.
Thus returnable packaging is used in the process where by the business sells items to the customer packed in shipping units such as boxes and crates. The customer is expected to return the packaging items i.e. boxes and crates in a certain period of time, if not, the business may bill the customer.
 Returnable packaging is considered as SPECIAL STOCK and is indicated by letter V , this packaging is kept at the customers location but will remain the property of your company. The special stock can be seen using the stock overview screen MMBE.
 There is no special order type for returnable packaging like in the case of consignment. The packaging material master record should use the material type VERP and the item category group LEIH (MRP2 - MMR). The item category group LEIH is the sap standard for returnable packaging.
 There are three main transactions for processing returnable packaging, all of which support separate inventory management:
 Creating Returnable Packaging Shipments
 Creating Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
 Creating Returnable Packaging Issue (should the customer not return the packaging material)
Returnable Packaging Shipments
When you sell goods to a customer, you may send the goods in returnable packaging. During sales order processing, you simply enter the returnable packaging as an item in your order.

If the customer returns the returnable packaging to you, you record the transaction in the system by creating a returnable packaging pick-up order (order type LA). 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.

Returnable packaging with rental in is-mill 6.0

hello sappers,
can any one guide me with the step as how to config returnable packaging with rental calculation also need the pricing procedure for credit and debit memo calculation.
regards
Anil

Hi,
For returnable packing you need to create material with material type LEIH Returnable packing.
The item category and Gen Item Category should be LEIH.
When we receive the returnable material back from the customer the document type i.e order type is LA - Retn Packing pick -up.
In the delivery - we need to do Post good receipt . this will update the stock i.e in mmbe if you check the stock of returnable matl , it will show the packing matl at customer end. when we do the PGR , the stock from customer stock gets reduced and the stock at our end ( storgate location ) will increase.
If we do not receive the material , we need to debit the amount to the customer.For doing this, you need to create the document with order type LN.
Go do delivery and do the PGI ( pcik up is not required as the material is already picked up) . After PGI to to VF01 for billing and to the billing with reference to delivery doc no. The amount you would like to debit will get debited to customer a/c.on flaging .
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Best regards,
Subodh Baxi

Returnable packaging process-Vendor-Company-Customer

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have searched through the internet as well as on this forum but I was not able to find the information I am looking for.
I have the following issue concerning the Returnable packaging process in SAP:
I need to gather overall information concerning the returnable packaging. The info concerning returnable packaging in relation 'my company' - 'customer' is quite accessible, however what about the process from vendor's side?
The process is as follows:
My vendor provides me with some materials that come with returnable packaging (e.g.Pallet01) -> Assuming I am just a middleman, I sell the goods to my customer and also send them on Pallet01 (one day my customer must return the pallet to me and I must return it to the vendor).
- What are the settings I must set in customizing and in material master?
- How would the process look like in the system?
- In what report I can see how many Pallets I owe to the vendor and how many Pallets each customer should return to me (is there one report that would show everything or do I have to use separate reports)?
- How do I proceed if the vendor decides to invoice me for the pallets or I decide to invoice my customer (I would like to know the best practices)?
If there is an existing topic here (I was no able to find one) or any materials on the net I would be also grateful for the links.
Thank you in advance!

Dear kevinthai ,

How to enter a returnable packaging material during inbound delivery?

Hi,
How do you add a returnable packaging material from vendor as a line item in the inbound delivery? When I try to add a LEIH type material as a line item in the inbound delivery (VL32N), the following error is displayed:
"No item category exists (Table T184L EL VERP ELP)"
Thanking you in advance,
Sreelakshmi

HI.
Please reffer the below link.
ERROR : No item category exists (Table T184L LB VERP )
Error while creating I/B delivery: No item category exists (Table T184L EL)
1) EL = is the delivery type you are using for Returns to Vendors
2) VERP = is the Item Category Group in the material master of
3) ELP= Item Usage
You have to add the missing configuration as follow:
IMGLogistics ExecutionShippingDeliveriesDefine Item Category
Determination in Deliveries(Transaction 0184).
Create a new entry or copy from an existing one for VERP. NOTE: The Delivery Item Category RLLN is the standard defined by SAP, be
sure you enter the one defined in you company.
Thanking you

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

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

Regarding:Return process of Packaging material to Vendor

Dear SAP Experts,
When we purchase consumables material it come in packaging material from vendor.
Then we send packaging material back to vendor.But this process is mannual.
Now we want this process by system.
Please help to configure this procedure in my system.
With Regards
Mukul Kumar

hI,
I hope you are looking for packaging instruction for vendor.
As vendor will send the materiel in packaging and after delivering the material will take back the packaging material. if this is yes. Then it can be deal with Handling unit the benefit you would have of this is, harmonized way of packaging the material. And even you can create packaging instruction to vendor with weight and seize of the product .
Configuration as below for handling unit.
Go to SPRO> Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management--step1)>Define Packaging Material Types
Step 2) Define Material Group for Packaging Materials-
Step 3) Define Allowed Packaging Materials- By assigning packaging material types to the material groups for packaging materials, you define which packaging materials are allowed for packing.
Step 4) Use Handling Unit Supplements
SPRO> Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management>External Identification>Set Unique Number Assignment for HU Identification--It is only possible to indicate a storage location as HU-managed if you have set this indicator. The use of non-assigned handling units without unique number assignment is not supported
Step 2) Number Range Maintenance for HU Identification--You can maintain number ranges for number assignment for handling unit identification via number range intervals which is consists of 9 digits without overlapping
step 3) SSCC Generation Acc to EAN128
3 a) Maintain Number Range Object for SSCC-- Number range object "LE_SSCC" is provided with interval "01" and a 9-digit number length. Create the number range objects and intervals necessary for your organization and country dependent.
3 b) Maintain SSCC Generation for Each Plant / Storage Location-
4) SPRO> Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management>Automatic Packing> Packing Instructions Master Data-->Define Number Ranges for
Packing Instructions.
All your setting is in place
Then go to POP1 to create packaging instruction.
And maintain determination record using POF1 with key combination as vendor /Plant/ material, for condition type RCPT For incoming material & SHIP-Ship to party material.
Or even you can send back the returnable packaging material by using 501M > MIGO>Other Movt type--> 501M.
Hope this clear.
