Packaging material (VERP) to be sold to customer

Question

Hello,
   We have a requirement where a packaging material needs to be sold to the end customer. Normally these are processed with IC TAL for returnable packaging, however in this case IC Tan will need to be used with a customer price attached.
Are there any other issues which we might run into which needs to be addressed ?
Thanks,

Hi,
Item category group is VERP
General item category is LEIH
LAN for returnable packaging pickup
LNN for returnable packaging issue
Material group = 00804
Create a material with material type as returnable packing and make sure that general item category group LEIH
Go to MB1C and initialize the stock. Specify stock indicator V
Go to VA01 and raise the sales order by specifying the material that is to be packed [Normal] by returnable packaging material
Go to VL01N  Picking
Select line item and Go to Edit  Pack
Specify the returnable packaging item in upper screen
Select two line items
Go to Edit  Pack  Pack
Note down the status that is material was packed.
 Go back and do the picking and PGI
 Save and Exit
 Go to MMBE and check the stock balance of packing item and returnable packing item. Notice that in the returnable packing stock system shows the status as Returnable packaging at customer.
 Go to VF01 and raise the Invoice.
If the customer does not return the returnable packaging items, then business has to bill the customer.
Go to VA01 [Document type LN] and raise the order
Specify the reason as goods damaged at customer place
 Go to VF01 and raise the Invoice with reference to LN document
