Inv. Consign. - Stock category K is not permitted for general stock search

Question

Hi,
IS-Retail ECC 6.0
Unable to select another vendor consignment inventory for the same article at TO creation. Get the following message:
+Stock category K  is not permitted for general stock search+
+Message no. L3727+
+Diagnosis+
+You have entered a stock category (special stock indicator and special stock number) during transfer order creation that is not permitted by general stock determination.+
+Example:+
+General stock determination only allows you to enter stock categories 'own stock' and 'consignment stock' of vendor 6411. You cannot enter special stock 'K' and special stock of (vendor) 6512+.
Not using batch management but already applied OSS note1034907 - Picking consignment stock in Warehouse Management without success.
Any idea?
Thanks
Gaetan

There is the response back from SAP on the subject. We also faced the situation where the stock determination was done but we had no stock available for the first sorted stock in this case our own stock. We have than created a user exit to take out any 0 line item from the sort to bypass this problem and get the next stock vendor available . Hope that will help.

In the retail consignment processing the stock split is excluded during
stock determination. That means, you have to set the stock split to 1.
In your case, if you check the customizing settings of the stock
determination for
- site 1100,
- stock determination rule Z001 and
- stock determination groupe Z001,
the stock split or the number of splits is 002. But, this is not
possible in coherence with the retail consignment processing and the
creation of a TO. We will prevent such a scenario also in the coding.
Therefore you are not able to select another vendor for consignment. In
this case you have to change/adjust your customizing settings for stock
determination. Please check also the usage of an alternate stock
determination rule.
For further information, please check/compare also the documentation.
Customizing documentation:
When stock determination is activated, the stock split is excluded
during stock determination, which means you have to set the stock
split to 1.
Documentation in the Help Portal:
* It is not possible to make a partial delivery of a delivery item
from both consignment stock and a company's own stock. Nor can you
deliver an item from the consignment stock of serveral special stock
managers.
That means, please check/adjust your customizing settings for the stock
determination.
