Reg : Cosignment Stock

Hi ,
Good Evening to all. My name is Usha . I am new to SAP MM . I have one doubt .
How to transfer the consignment stock to unrestricted stock automatically if we mention certain period of time. Means after that time , the stock should be transfered automatically to unrestricted stock .
Please help me in this Issue .
Thanks and Regards,
Usha.

HI Usha,
There is no process to transfer stock from consignment to unrestricted.
You have to do it manually only.
Reason is, when ever you transfer the stock from consignment stock to own stock that time Accounting documents will be generated:
Stock
Vendor consignment paybles(-)
So its always advisable to it manually only.
Cheers!!!

But know you are saying that you are using a account assignment category E.
Which says cleary that it has to a Sales order comsuption account.
KNow the question is wheter the you are able to See the Stock in MB52 under Special stock indicator E
or after GRN it is going to the consumption directly.
it happens completly depending on the acount assignment category setting
SPRO--> MM --> Purchaing (OLME) > Account Assignment> Define Acc asign.
in this for the account Assignment E check ..the below
Consumption Posting -- ? ,if it E ..then it is for sales Order.
Account Modificaition--? it would having some Key..
this KEy is the one against which GL the consumption should GO..(here you can change your GL if required)

Reg: Closing Stock

Dear All,
With the help from forums, i had written a Query to generate the closing stock for a given period, with below said columns
Itemcode, Itemname,In Qty, Out Qty, on Hand, Price, Value, Warehouename
The result is coming correct, but there is a difference for the price when compared to my Query and SAP Report,
reason is that SAP is picking up the Average Price for some items and Last Purchase Price for some items.
Since in SAP the price is maintained at three different levels and which are:
1. Last Purchase Price
2. Average Price
3. Warehouse wise price
Can any one suggest me how to get the price for closing stock, and below is the code.
select m.warehouse, w.WhsName, m.ItemCode, m.Dscription, sum(m.inqty) as inq, sum(m.outqty) as outq,
T0.LastPurPrc as 'Price', sum(m.inqty-m.outqty)as 'on Hand'
from oinm m inner join owhs w on m.warehouse = w.whscode
inner join OITM T0 on m.itemcode = T0.itemcode
where m.DocDate between [%0]and [%1]
group by m.ItemCode, m.Dscription, m.warehouse,w.WhsName, T0.LastPurPrc
having sum(inqty) <> sum(outqty)
order by m.warehouse,m.ItemCode
Currently we are using 2005B PL35.
Please help us to resolve.
Regards
Shanker

Hi All,
Sorry for delay in replying.
I had executed the query and verified the same.
The Quantities are matching as per SAP report, but the Price / Item cost is not matching since SAP considers price at two levels.
1. when GRPO is raised tax is not considered
2. When A/P Invoice is raised tax is considered
For some Items the Price / Item cost is matching since A/P Invoice is not raised, the issue is only with items for which A/P Invoice is raised.
Please help me out to get the Price / Item cost as per SAP report,
P.S: i had run the Inventory Audit Report for verification.

Cosignment stock

Hi Experts,
We have an issue where we are required in some instance to
transfer a material (eg wheat) from one vendor to another but
still maintain it is consignment stock.
Our company stores grains (wheat, barley etc) on behalf of other
parties. It is stored in SAP as vendor consignment stock
against the appropriate vendor. We charge the vendor a service
fee for this - we do not own stock. but vendors can sell stock
to another vendor but the actual stock does not move from the
storage facility.
Storing 100t wheat for vendor A this vendor then sells to Vendor
B - Change vendor in SAP for this 100t. but still maintain as
consignment stock but against Vendor B
What movement types in SAP should be used for this transfer?
Is this a two step process?
we want SAP to reflect the actual tonnes owned by each vendor.
Any assistance will be appreciated

Reg. Stock account posting instead of consumption account

Dear Experts
Pls consider my below senario
As per SAP the material goes to consumption account when GR is made. but our concern wants to keep the material at unrestricted stock and that is to be used as and when required for production. how to configure the same. Our implementation team has done like I said in our production server. And in our ECC also we want the same settings.Pls help me
Thanks in advance

The first thing is that whenever GR done against any PO it is not necessary that material always go to consumption it is dependent on Acct Assignment Cat used in PO.
If Acct Assignment Cat. is blank in PO then material must go in unrestricted stock. You need to check the same in SPRO.
IMGMaterials ManagementPurchasingAccount AssignmentMaintain Account Assignment Categories--double click on any acct assignment cat
Details will be displayed for this acct assignment cat: there check field Consumption posting in Detailed Information. If you want to post material in unrestricted stock then make the field blank.
Hope this will help you.

Reg. Stock of material through CO11N confirmation

Dear Experts
I am doing confirmation entry in CO11N, Stock is not coming to stock overview screen, there is no stock.
Pls help, what to do for that to bring the stock.
Thanks
Rajakumar.K

Dear Raja,
If you are using Blackflush indicator then automatically after confirmation through CO11N, stock will be updated in stock overview screen.
If you are not using Backflush, then make Goods Receipt with MB31 Tcode for the quantity you have confirmed using CO11N.
Come back after Trying,

Reg: Negative Stock

Hii,
How does negative stocks works in SAP, here in Material Master for a selected material in plant 1000 and SL 0001, i have checked on negative stock option in Plant/ Storage 2 view.
while issuing the stock in MIGO, it is not allowing and it is givng an error with deficit qty not allowed.
Can u pls guide me, how does it should make it work.
Thanks
Regards,
Muralidharan

Hi muralidharan ,
A negative stock occurs when you post a goods issue(GI) witha quantity that is larger than the book inventory.Negative stock balances may be required if,for organizational reasons,you enter goods issue before the coreesponding goods receipts,and the material is already physically located in the warehouse.Negative stocks always indicate that physical movments have to be entered in the system at the later stage.
So that you can work with negative stock inSAP system,you have to specifically allow this in customizing for the affected material.In Customizing for inventory mangerment,you will find the settings for negative stock under Goods issue/Transfer postings>Allow Negative stocks..The path for this is
SPRO>Materials mangement>Inventory management and physical inventory>Goods issue/Transfer postings>Allow negative stocks
Negative stocks are allowed at valuation area level and storage location level.At plant level,you can set the special stocks for which negative stocks is allowed.
For example the special stocks for which negative stock is allowed are
>Vendor consignment
>Stock of material provided to vendor
>Consignment stock at customer
>Sales order stock
>Project stock
>Returnable packaging with customer
>Returnable transport packaging
If you have negative stock for a material ,this is shown in the material master record on the accounting view,the plant stock view,and the storage location stock view.The negative stock is also displayed in the stock lists.
To determine for which materials you have negative stocks,use the warehouse stock for material report.From SAP Easy acess screen,choose Logistics>Materials management>Inventory management>Environment>Stock>Warehouse stock(MB52)
You can execute the selection,for example,for several materials for a storage location that allows negative stocks.So that only the materials with negative stocks are displayed,choose the Only display negative stocks indicator on the selection screen.
Hope this will help you

Rgds
Bhuvan

What MRP type are you using? If stock falls below the safety stock, there will be a procuremet proposal for the same (internal or external) if you have mainted the MRP type as VB, then system will plan the same when MRP is run at plant level.
So please check your MRP parameters & monitor the stock level in MD04.
Hope the above clarifies.

Consignment Stock Processing
Purpose
Consignment goods are goods which are stored at the customer location but which are owned by the company. The customer is not obliged to pay for these goods until they remove them from consignment stock. Otherwise, the customer can usually return consignment goods that are not required.
Consignment Fill-Up: Consignment fill-up replenishes the stock at the customer site. Since the goods remain the property of the company, this process is not relevant for pricing and consequently not for invoicing either.
Create a sales order using order type KB.
Enter the required data on the customer, the consignment goods and the delivering plant.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a delivery as the subsequent document for this sales order and, after picking has been completed successfully, post goods issue.
The underlying goods movement type is a stock transfer. This ensures that when goods issue is posted, consignment special stock is created for the customer concerned. If special stock of this kind already exists in the delivering plant for this customer, the goods are posted to this special stock.
Order type: KB (document category C: sales order)
Std. Delivery type: LF
Item category: KBN (not relevant for pricing and billing)
Schedule line category: E1 (relevant for deliveries, uses availability check, 631 (GI consignment: lending) to post the stock into a special consignment category in the delivering plants stock for that particular customer and material)
Copy control rules for the sales doc, item category, and schedule line category.
Use trans MB58 or MMBE to check the stock.
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for taxes, as the stock is still the ownership of the company. In the pricing procedure all condition type except for Taxes should be statistical.
Consignment Issue: The Consignment issue enables the customer to withdraw consignment goods from the special stock that are to be used or sold.
Create a sales order using order type KE.
Enter the required data for the customer, the consignment goods and the plant to which the goods are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a delivery as the subsequent document for this sales order and, after picking has been completed successfully, post goods issue.
The goods are then reduced by the relevant quantity in the special stock assigned to the customer. This goods issue also reduces your total stock.
Invoice the delivery which issues the consignment goods.
Order type: KE (document category C: sales order)
Std. Delivery type: LF
Invoice: F2
Item category: KEN (relevant for pricing and deliver related billing, special stock indicator W, should determine cost too)
Schedule line category: C1 (relevant for deliveries, uses availability check, 633 (GI issue: customer consignment)
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for most of the condition type, as it is being invoiced to end customer.
Consignment returns: proceed as follows: Consignment returns enable your customer to return goods to the consignment stock that has already been issued from it.
Create a sales order using sales order type CR.
Enter the required data on the customer and the consignment goods.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order (the system automatically chooses delivery type LR). The goods issue posting cancels the goods issue posting which was carried out when the consignment goods were issued. This posting records the return of the goods to the plant where goods receipt was carried out.
Create a credit memo for the consignment return you created in Step 1.
Order type: KR (document category H: returns)
Delivery type: LR
Credit for Returns Order type: RE (delivery or order related billing)
Item category: KRN (relevant for pricing and deliver related billing, special stock indicator W
Schedule line category: D0 (relevant for deliveries, no availability check, 634
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for most of the condition type, as it is being returned by the customer & invoicing already done to customer..
Consignment Pick-Up: The company uses consignment pick-up to take back consignment goods that are faulty or excess materials that the customer does not need. This process is not relevant for billing since the goods remain the property of the company.
It may be beneficial to have a mandatory reference such as the consignment fill-up. In addition to it copy control rules can be used to further control it. In the copy control rules indicate the document flow. As the stock is coming back into the warehouse or plant, you can specify a returns shipping point to be automatically determined. No invoice is necessary, as the goods are not changing ownership.
Create a sales order using order type KA.
Enter the required data for the customer, the consignment goods and the plant to which the goods are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order (the system automatically chooses delivery type LR). The transaction is completed by the goods issue posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.
Order type: KA (document category C: sales order)
Delivery type: LR
No invoice
Item category: KAN
Schedule line category: F1 (relevant for deliveries, availability check against the stock on the customers consignment, 632 (Consignment pickup)
In this case, Accounting document is required to be generated only for taxes, as the stock is still the ownership of the company. In the pricing procedure all condition type except for Taxes should be statistical, as the stock is being returned from consignment site to plant.

Reg confirming stock in sales orders

Hi Gurus:
I am not able to confirm stock in the sales order. Normally it is because of 2 reasons:
1. Either the stock would not be available.
2. The stock would be used for some other sales order.
But here the scenario is, I have sufficient stock in unrestricted use and the sales order stock is shown separately.
Are there any other reasons for non-confirmity of the stock.
Please advice.
Thanks
Sunil

Hi,
Further to your query
1.If the sales order stock is available , you cannot use it for other sales order.
2.Check Credit block and try releasing the order through VKM3
3. Check the Sales order required delivery date is past.
regards
KRSNA

Manage Consignment Stock within Intraplant delivery

Dear Gurus,
we are using Stock Transfer Orders to manage the transfer of materials between two storage locations (from A to B) within the same plant (there are two different responibilities). The steps are the following:
1. STO creation
2. Delivery creation and Warehouse Management TO creation
3. WM Transfer Order confirmation
4. Goods Issue Posting
5. Goods Issue Receipt
Now we would like to introduce a new warehouse (C) for a transfer of materials from C to B. Whse C contains Cosignment Stock. The system should create an Outbound delivery for consignment and create WM TO for consignment. After the confirmation of the WM TO the Goods Issue Post should be done with a Movement type 641k and the goods issue receipt should load whse B with own stock.
I tried to build this scenario and it seems to work but i can't post the goods issue because the delivery is not created for a consignemt scenario (while WM TO are created correctly).
Can you explain me wich are the correct steps?
Kind Regards,
Francesco

Hello Francesco,
I have the same concern and / or inquiry, have you been able to resolve this issue? What was the conclusion?
