MRKO: pipeline and consignment liabilities settlement

Dear MM experts,
Please explain me what is the use of MRKO transaction, normally for all po's through MIRO we will do the invoice verification but in consignment order and pipeline what is the process to pay the vendor??
thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Govardhan,V.

Hi
Consignment Material is stored at your company premises but belongs to a vendor. The vendor supplies these goods so that they are available to you at any time, but does not initially invoice you for the goods. Only when you have withdrawn stock does payment become due for the quantities used.
Removing material from consignment stores or transferring material to your companys own stock results in liabilities towards the vendor. You should settle these liabilities at regular intervals.Consignment materials are settled without the vendor issuing an invoice, as the vendor company is unable to track withdrawals directly. The vendor can only manage its consignment stock by taking deliveries and payments into account.
U will settle the vendor for pipeline and consignment using MRKO transaction.

Which is difference between Pipeline and Consignment..

Hello All...
I need your help... Can you help me to understand the difference between Pipeline and Consignment?
Many thanks and I appreciate your Help and comments!

A pipeline material is a material that flows directly into the production process from a pipeline (for example, oil), from a pipe (for example, tap water), or from another similar source (for example, electricity).
A material from the pipeline is always available; i.e. it can be withdrawn from the pipeline at any time and in any quantity.
Depending on the system configuration, a material can be withdrawn only from the pipeline or, in addition to the pipeline, normal stocks of the material can also be managed.
STEPS TO MAINTAIN PIPELINE MATERIAL
1. You can create a material with PIPE material type or else you can use any material type but that should allow pipeline process.
2. You should have Inforecord for the material with valid conditions, price will pick only from inforecord.
3. If requied you can maintains ource list or else you can select during goods issue.
4. From the Inventory Management menu, choose Goods movement ® Goods issue.
Maintain the data on the initial screen. Choose Movement type ® Consumption ® To cost center (or To order, To network, All account assignments) ® From pipeline (Movement types : 201 P, 261 P, 281 P, or 291 P)
5. On the collective entry screen, enter the account assignment. Enter the items.
You do not have to enter the vendor as this will be found automatically by the system.
If more than one vendor is possible, a pop-up window appears with a list of pipeline vendors, from which you can select the vendor you require.
Post the goods movement.
we can not stock pipeline material. It is readily available. directlly it is avilable at cost center. you need to pay for that consumption

Partial settlement & penalty for Consignment Liabilities

Hi buddies,
I have a question on consignment liabilities settlement.
Scenario -
Consignment PO, qty - 50 created,
MIGO - 101 'K' done for qty 50,
MIGO - 411 'K' or 201 'K' done for entire 50 qty.
In standard SAP 100 % liabilities are settled by MRKO. However, I want to settle liabilities in parts viz. 60 % in current month and remaining 40 % in next month. The second requirement is that I want to levy penalty of 10 % on Vendor. This is possible in case of standard PO by way of sebsequent credit but in case of consignment PO this is not possible since I am settling liabilities by MRKO. Is there any workaround for these two queries?
Cheers!
Sachin Narvekar

Penalty clarification -
If the vendor liability is 100 but the material is of poor quality I have to pay 90 to Vendor i.e. 10 is the penalty I am imposing. In case of normal PO I levy penalty to him by creating subsequent cerdit. How do I levy penalty in case of consignment PO?

Consignment Liability Settlement

Hi expert,
When i try to settle the consignment liability, there is an error message.
The information text field ask about the reference number, anyone can help?
Thanks

Hi
Sandra McCright rigthly says the cause for such an error . As i understand Same Document type is assigned for consignment liabilities which is also used to post normal vendor incoming invoices posted through (MIRO ) .
This setting is maintained in transcation code OBF4 , Normal document type used would be RE (Gross inv. receipt ) where
Reference number will be ticked as mandatory under Required during document entry option .
Best way to over come this will be copy the document type (RE ) and create a new doc type (Z1 exclusively for consignmnet liabilities) and assign this new document type to transaction code MRKO which can be done in the following IMG path
MM=>Logistics invoice verfication= > Incoming Invoice=> Number assign ment = >Maintain Number Assignments for Accounting Documents
select Document type s in Invoice verfication
Caution : Number ranges to be assigned will be same as that of original document type RE as this is copied from it for a company code.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Mapping del credere agent and consignment stockist in sap sd

Dear Gurus
My client has trading business with IOCL company acted as a del credere agent and consignment stockist. Generally, IOCL sending the material our company go down. we do the business with the customers and we are paying the amount to the IOCL in advance and we are taking the money from the customer. For doing this business we are getting from the IOCL. we are also maintaining RG23D register. Our go downs are registered as depot. But we are not selling the material directly, please tell me how can we map this scenario.

thirupathi

hi,
Sales office is termed as an internal organisation element in SAP. ie:- Its a representation of the company at a specified geography.
The distributor is always a customer for the business. The operations of the distributor are completely different from the company. Hence, mapping distributor as a sales office is completely ruled out.
The distributors can be taken as a DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL in the org structure.
All the distributors are created as customers in a specific sales area.
Secondary sales is a business activity happening from the distributor to the dealer.
So, in any business automation(not only SAP) we need not automate this activity.
This would be automated by the distributors. We can only frame business regulations in domain for the secondary sales but not automate it.
Reward if helpful.

sriram

CJ88 and CJ8G tcodes - Settlement issue

Dear Experts,
We are having an issue in the settlement process. We ran the actual mass settlement for all the projects for the specific RA keys. I do see the cost has been posted and transferred and they are settled as expected. Accounting looks good as well. However, if I ran the settlement individually on tcode CJ88 that has been already settled in the mass settling process, it shows up on the list "to be settled" in the test mode. If I re-run it again in "Actual" mode, it settles without any issues and then it disappears from the list finally. Did anyone experience this issue before? I will post the example screenshots of the examples that I am analyzing.
thanks,
DK

Hi D K,
This doesn't seems to be a way it has to work, is there any support packs recently added, this can be a bug.
If you are able to replicate the issue always, do raise it with SAP, they will be able to provide a resolution or conclusion.
If you check with Orders, system will check for Networks or Work Orders assigned to the WBS element and the same should be settled, may be there is some cost pending from Order end. Check the order or network assignment.

Terence

Difference in partner functions in normal and consignment sales

hi,
What is the major difference in partner functions in normal sales and consignment sales Processing?
regards
prabudh

Dear Prabudh
I dont think there is a difference in normal sales and consignment sales, as for as Partner Functions are concerned. The impact will be on inventory where it will get reduced immediately once you make direct sales whereas it is NOT in consignment process.
Thanks

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden? A few weeks ago Safari was working OK but now I often have to use Firefox to visit certain webpages.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Is there a quick fix?
I'm using Safari 2.0.4
Thanks.

Hi QuickTimeKirk,
I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.
Quoted from ms Mactopia site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/
Download and find information about Windows Media Player for Mac and playing Windows Media files in your QuickTime Player. Which download is right for you?
Windows Media Components for QuickTime
Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X
Windows Media Player 7.1 for Mac
Important Information
Microsoft will continue to offer Windows Media Player for Mac as a download free of charge, but has no plans to provide future updates or product support.
We are pleased to offer Windows Media® Components for Quicktime, by Flip4Mac™, as an alternative for Mac OS X users wanting to play Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

ATG Pipeline and Multithreading

Hi,
I have couple of questions with respect to ATG Pipeline and Multithreading. The scenario is like - to process multiple threads and each thread is a pipeline chain.
Now the pipeline chain contains components which are globally scoped.
Questions -
1) Is ATG pipeline thread safe?
2) If the pipeline contains sequence of global-scoped components, is the pipeline still a threadsafe?
Thanks!

Pipelines are mend to be thread safe as they can be called from multiple HTTP request thread. The run process method accepts object which is usually a map of all the input parameters and PipelineResult which encapsulates any response parameter. So though being a global scoped component it always work on local objects (Not dealing with member variables).

Consignment Inventory at the G/L level (Terms and Consignment)

Is it possible to break out finish good inventory by Terms and Consignment on the balance sheet?
134000      Finished Goods (Terms)
135000      Finished Goods (Consignment)
136000      Raw Materials
137000      WIP
I've talked to 3 FI consultant and 1 MM consultant and they all say it is not possible. Has anyone done this before?
Thank you,

Hi Neetu,
When you select Item level G/L in the Item Master, the G/L Accounts determination for Revenue, COGS, Inventory, etc are taken as defined in the Inventory data tab, on the Warehouse row line. (If you do not see the G/L account, you could from Form settings enable them)
Once you set the G/L at Item level you have the flexibility to change the G/L accounts for a particular item.
Here is a brief explanation:
Set G/L Accounts by u2013 Use the drop down menu to select the required method by which you would like to set the G/L accounts connected to your items:
1. WH u2013 The G/L accounts defined in the Define Warehouse window, located under Administration --> Definitions --> Inventory --> Define Warehouses --> Accounting tab page.
2. Item Group u2013 The G/L accounts defined in the Define Item Groups window, located under Administration --> Definitions --> Inventory --> Define Item Groups --> Accounting tab page.
3. Item Level u2013 Select this method in order to define G/L accounts for each item manually via Inventory --> Item Master Data --> Inventory Data tab page.
Please go through the documentation :
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_HIER_KEY=701100035871000371280&_OBJECT=011000358700005050492004E&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000183&

How to get interchange id in custom pipeline and in orchestration

My scenario is that I want to create a unique id for a message which should be remain unique throughout biztalk so that I can track it anywhere.
I got messageID context property of message in decoding pipeline component through IBaseMessage pInMsg.MessageID.ToString() and
got the same messageID in orchestration through messageName(BTS.MessageID) in expression shape.
But when I am using a custom disassembler component , I am unable to get the same messageID in orchestration because disassembler stage create a new messageID.
Can I use interchangeID of message for this scenario ?
If yes,how can I get interchangeID in custom decoding component as well as in orchestration ?
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
Yes, I believe InterchangeID should work for you in this case.
Refer:
http://geekswithblogs.net/chrishan/archive/2006/01/17/66161.aspx
http://felixmondelo.blogspot.in/2007/08/interchangeid-vs-messageid.html
How to access?
1) In your custom pipeline component you can access it
Guid interchangeID = Guid.Parse(pInMsg.Context.Read("InterchangeID","http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/system-properties");
where pInMsg is your IBaseMessage.
2) In orchestration:
varGuid = System.Guid.Parse(Message_1(BTS.InterchangeID));
I hope his helps.

Drop Ship and Consignment Warehouses.

Hi Everyone;
What is the main difference between a Drop Ship and a Consignment Warehouse. As per my understanding example for Drop Ship warehouse would be ebay, as if some company wants to sell it s products it will use ebay as a drop ship warehouse.
Consignment warehouse only has a accounting effect when the products is sold. so example of consignment warehouse will be like Honda selling it s cars through it s dealers..so if a dealer in new york sold one Honda car only then it will have an accounting and warehouse effect in it s headquarters in Detroit and Ny.
Please correct me if i am wrong as i always get confused in this. I am preparing for my B1 certification.
Thanks and Regards
Nitin

Your understanding is correct.
In addition to that, following is as per SAP Help Document
Drop Ship
Select to define the warehouse as a drop ship warehouse. Use when the company does not manage inventory, but receives commission for every order.
Drop ship warehouses cannot be used for serial or batch items.
Inventory Transfers as Customer Consignments
If you deliver items to your customer in the form of a consignment, you can use this function to enter the inventory transfer from your warehouse to the consignment stores in the system.
When items are withdrawn from the consignment stores at the customeru2019s site, you create an outgoing invoice for the appropriate quantity and specify that the items be delivered from the consignment stores.
You have to create a storage location for the consignment to enable the consignment inventory to be managed separately from the rest of your item inventory.
If you maintain consignment inventory for several customers, we advise creating a consignment store for each customer so that the inventory for each customer can be monitored more easily.
You can then display the consignment inventory using the warehouse reports.

Need WBS split to AUC and Expanses during settlement (not %wise)

Hi,
We have some capital projects settling to AUC but we are also charging WBS for labor costs and travel expanses and offcouse capital costs.
Managment wants PS team to Settle labor/travel to CCTR and Capital cost to AUC. How can WBS recognize cost elements carry expanses and Capital Costs and split them during settlment?
expanse range: 500000-599999 travel/labor
Capital expance range: 600000-699999 to be capitalized
I will appreciate any clue in this regard.
-Atif
PS.: I am trying capital investment key at this time, so that WBS will settle only capital range in AUC.

Hi,
Maintain different settlement rule for WBSE with different recevier such as AUC & CTR. In settlement configuration define source structure such as CTR & AUC along with cost elements for settling the cost into different receiver.
Hope this will help you.

Rakesh Pradhan

RA thru Valuation Method 07 and its inexplicable settlement

Hi,
I have run RA and Settlement with Valuation method 07 and seen the results. But postings to COPA is perfect but Finance postings are in reverse. Let me explain and request you to support me with your valuable inputs.
The Actual costs is 1000 whereas the planned estimate is 2000. The Actual revenue is 1200 whereas the planned revenue is 3000. The POC is 45%. Hence, while doing RA, the system has given the result that the calculated costs is 900 and hence WIP is 100. In the case of Revenue, the calculated revenue is 1350 and hence 150 is revenue in excess of billings. This is quite ok.
But when it comes to settlement, the change in WIP accounts is debited and WIP account is credited with 100 instead of change in WIP account is credited and WIP(BS a/c) is debited. In the same way, the Rev in excess billings(P/L ac) is debited 150 and Res for excess billings(BS a/c) is credited.
My copa postings shows the revenue of 1350 and cost of 900 and a profit of 450. But the income statement shows loss of 50. The 250 goes to the debit side instead of credit side of the income statement. It is quite inexplicable.
Regs!
