Regarding Returnable Packaging

Hi Gurus,
             I have a problem that for a liquid of say Liquid PH-5 ,1 litre must be packed in a returnable packaging material bottle-BV1,
The bottle can hold only 1 litre of the liquid and in sales order and Delivery level if i go for Packing Proposal the material is packed in the Returnable Packaging Material BV1.
But the Quantity of the Returnable Pack Material does not get updated.
How to solve this problem?
Regards,
Sarosh

Dear Sarosh
Please check following
The packaging’s material master record should use the material type VERP for packaging and the item category group LEIH. The item category group LEIH is the SAP standard for returnable packaging.  - Check for your bottle BV1.
TAL (the item category for returnable packaging) in the shipping unit
header, then when you create the delivery, SAP will also create an item TAL for that shipping material in the delivery. When you goods issue the delivery, SAP will record that this shipping material has been issued to the customer and must be returned. Note that you only have to price the returnable packaging in the returnable packaging issue order document. It does not need to
be priced in the sales order and cannot be in this method. 
Check if this all ok, rest please note returnable packaging material behaves in same way as packing material
In case you are still not able to do it, revert back

  • Returnable packaging accounts

    Hello together,
    I have a short question regarding returnable packaging accounts:
    We created an account (ACC1) for Customer A and RP 1 which is valid from 01.08.2007 to 31.12.9999.
    After a few days, someone else created an account (ACC2) for the same Customer A with RP1 which is valid from 10.08.2007 to 31.12.9999
    As a result, the old Account ACC1 is now valid only until 09.08.2007
    Do I have a chance to eliminate ACC2 so that ACC1 is valid to 31.12.9999 again? Unfortunately, there are some postings on ACC2 so that I can't delete this account. I can set the flag for deletion, but the valid-to-Date of ACC1 is still 09.08.2007.
    Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Hi Siva,
    thanks for your answer, but that is exactly my problem. I can't extend the validity date after setting the deletion-flag. Do you have an idea, what could be wrong?
    Thanks,
    Ralf

  • 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.

  • Returnable packaging-vendor and customer sides

    Dear Experts,
    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 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 the same 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 (for example are there specific settings I must make to be able to see the packaging per customer in MB58 (I have set item category group LEIH in material master - is this the only setting to assure this, plus I am not sure if the field where I should put LEIH is General item category group or Item category group - both on Sales: sales org.2 tab in material master; Plus is there any way I can control what settings does item category group have? When I go to SPRO Sales and Distribution->Sales->Sales Document->Sales Document Item->Define Item Category Groups - there is no option to click inside the certain group))?
    - 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)?
    I tried to enter packaging from vendor to special stock type M (with move 501 M added to the goods receipt for PO), than it's working to see it in the stock report assigned to that particular vendor. But what if (and this is the case) I am selling the goods on the same packaging to my customer? Cause I am not able to add the pallets from special stock M to the outbound deliver.
    Thank you in advance,
    Krystyna

    Dear Vikram Shukla,
    In fact, my question is more related to how to link the returnable packaging with the vendor - raw materials combination (PIR), which for my understanding is more related to sourcing part.
    Anyway, could you please advice how could I transfer my question to MM forum?
    Many thanks in advance and best regards-

  • Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

    Dear all,
    I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
    He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
    Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
    Doubt 1
    I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
    Doubt 2
    What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
    Doubt 3
    Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
    Regards
    Nitin

    You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
    Remember, there are 2 materials here:
    1. Gas
    2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
    You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
    When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
    When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
    You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

  • Returnable packaging - vendor related

    Hello SAP Gurus,
    In my current project, I meet following situations regarding vendor related returnable packaging:
    1. Packaging belongs to vendor;
    2. Packaging belongs to us (purchaser);
    3. Packaging is rent by us (purchaser).
    Our current solution is to use "Transport Equipment" - 501/M to receive such packaging when do GR of materials. But the constrains here is that warehouse stuff needs to know which material requires returnable packaging when do MIGO. And they have to manage this manually in an excel file: what material requires returnable packaging.
    Now my question is: how could we link this returnable packaging with the materials + material vendor.
    1. Possible to manage in PIR then flows to PO? (If not considerring development).
    2. If consider to generate 2nd line in PO:
    1) Again, how could Purchase Order creator know this material is required to generate 2nd line for returnable packaging?
    2) For packaging belongs to vendor, which is non-valuated and account assignment will be required;
    Many thanks in advance for your precious input and with best regards-
    Mengyu

    Hi,
    In the 1st case, Packaging belongs to Vendor:
    This is Non-valuated but stock update material type (you can maintain this exclusively for Vendor ownership & Rented since these are not your company owned)
    501-M is fine with this type. To track this in WM to identify for returns you can give a code description to be easily identifiable to trace it for the return. You/user dont have to add a second line item in the PO, but can directly enter in 501M
    In the 2nd case, packaging belongs to your own company, you can define a material type with value and qty update which can also be managed in MIGO. For this I presume you must have issued the materials to vendor before MIGO which can be received in MIGO as company's own stocks.
    Hope this helps

  • Inspection type for customer return of returnable package material

    Hi Guys,
             I send the returnable package to the customer , while reciving that material to my stock (when the customer return to me ) i want to create outbound delivery with out order refference .
    I want system to create inspection lot after doing PGR of the outbound delivery .
    The inspection lot sould have the option of result recording and stock posting when i do usage decission
    This requirement not met by inspection type 06 , i want to create new inspection type to met above mentioned all requirement .
    please provide the steps to be performed to met the same.
    Thanks and regards
    Thamizhchelvan G

    Hi,
    The 06 - Inspection type is not stock relevant and also it is not possible to change because it is SAP std.
    1. If you want inspection for Customer with stock, active 05 - Inspection type in Material Master, and move the stock from customer return to QI by using MB1B with Movement type 457 Stock transfer returns to QI. After that system will create the Inspection lot in 05 Inspection type.
    2. If don't want stock for inspection and directly post to Unrestricted using MB1B with movement type 453 Transfer posting to returns from customer to Unrest.
    3. Customer return to Blocked stock using MB1B with mvt type 459 Stock transfer returns to blocked
    Case2.
    Inspection type 05 is a stock relevant inspection type.
    To use 05 you must assign the 05 inspection type to the delivery item in configuration.
    Follow this path.
    Tcode vov6 - there will be schedule line category DN.
    go to details of DN.In Business data, check which movement type is assigned here.
    I think in your case it will be 651.
    Change it to 655 and try now.
    hope it will work.
    Thanks

    Hello Mark,
    Returnable packaging is vendor's material and is not valuated in our valuation area so it will not have any accounting impact in our book.
    Returnable packaging is maintained only on Qty based.

  • Returnable Packaging - Handling ASN's for their return delivery

    Two of our customers are sending us ASN's when they ship the empty returnable containers back to us.  Unfortunately, the ASN IDoc's Red-Light because there is no MM Order for them.
    The normal process is working - when the truck arrives, we process a Delivery against the LA order to receive them back into Inventory.  It's quick and easy, but the IDoc's are still out there hanging.
    So is there a way to make the ASN's work within the Returnable Packaging scenario?  If I make an MM Order for these items, will it disrupt the RP scenario?  I.e., it has to not only add them back in to our inventory, but it also has to decrease the customer's inventory at the same time.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggestions, or comments.

    Hi David
    you have sent the returnable packaging with regards to Sales Order right? but when IDOCs are coming it should update the sales order and PGR (Post Goods Receipt)
    What i understand is that we need to change the IDOC type for incoming sales order type to update the sales order and create delivery & PGR

  • Returnable Packaging for PO

    Dear Expert,
    I've a scenario whereby the MM consultant try to push the SD consultant for the scenario below:
    - There is FOC returnable packaging (wooden pallet) for PO to ship back the these to the supplier in oversea
    - These wooden packaging will be arranged to ship back to the supplier when reached 150 pcs
    - user want to keep track of the quantity in the system
    - user want to print a pro-forma invoice when the shipment arranged info the custom
    - user wanted to show/print the price on the pro-forma invoice
    In SD side , the solution I can think of is:
    - via sale doc (sales order doc & delivery doc)
    - set up customer master
    - set up pricing
    - develop pro-forma invoice or delivery note
    In MM side,
    - via return PO doc
    - the vendor master already there
    - set up pricing
    - develop pro-forma invoice or a form call delivery note
    Question:
    - should the above done in SD?
    - is the solution come from SD is the best option?
    Looking forwards to hear from you. Many thanks.
    Best regards,
    Aw

    Hi Aw,
    Create material masters for returnable packaging with item category group LEIH. When you create a sales order & outbound delivery, returnable packaging materials will be listed in them and they can be tracked with their material codes. You can include statistical condition type in your sales pricing procedure to show indicative price for packaging materials. This indicative price will flow to your shipment documents as well.
    When the customer wants to return the packaging materials, you can use order type LA, item category LAN is not relevant for billing and post goods receipt.
    If the customer decides to keep the returnable packaging materials, then enter the transaction in your system with order type LN (issue order). LNN is relevant for billing and you can use new pricing procedure to charge customer for packaging materials in LN. Price can be same as indicated in the original sales order or be different as per your agreement with customer.

  • 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.

  • Movement type: moving the returnable package from one customer to another

    Hello,
    I would like to know if there exists any predefined movement type (in transaction MIGO) which would allow to move the stock of the returnable package (material type LEIH, pallets etc.) from one customer to another IN ONE STEP (now we do it in 2 steps: first we return the stock from the customer to the our location and then move it to another customer). When we sell material to the customer, the stock type for the returnable package has the mark for special stock type (''V'').
    I tryed types 301V and 309V, but the customer had to be the same. It only allows to move the pallets between different plants for the same customer.
    Best regards,
    Mojca Kukman

    Hi
    There is no such movement type. Customers always look for one-step transactions and the only way to achieve this is through ABAP!
    Normally I do this:
    Create a Z-txn for customer input and on saving create 2 material documents (as in 2-step process).
    Best regards
