Replenishment of consignment stock in warehouse

Hello gurus
We are working in a retail system and we have some consignment stock that passes through the warehouse. My problem is when we run LP21 to replenish the picking location it creates the TR, but even if its only consingnment stock in the warehouse it does not set the special indicator and the creation of TO fails in LB10, since we are missing the special stock indicator.
I cant see where i can get the system to also cosider the special stock.
Any tips or tricks here?

Ivar

You should try to use standard stock determination functionality to determine vendor consigment stock in WM - it can be used for deliveries, production orders, you can even use it for ad-hoc WM-stock transfers (LT01, LT10) which re not directly connected to IM movements.

Consignment stock replenishment via idoc

We are setting up a scenario, where we receive oderCreate idocs (CIDX format) into our XI system which should trigger a stock replenishment from the producing plant into the customer consignment stock. As the delivery has to be created with reference to a stock replenishment PO there seems to be no process code which could create this delivery. Is there a way to create stock replenishment deliveries with ref. to a PO via idoc? Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Tom
If you want to maintain a minimum stock level at customers location then on regular basis consignment fillup should take place. So you should be knowing how much stock should be there at consignement place. So when you create a consignment Issue , make the consignement issue delivery dates different dates with some quantities.Then that stock can be filled up at consignee place
Say for example
Consignment Issue --- 100pcs
Consignment Fillup -
1st delivery date 05/01/2009--->50pcs
1st delivery date 10/01/2009--->50pcs
Again on 01/09/2009 you will be doing Consignment Issue for 100pcs. Then again the stock will be reserved
In this way once the consignment issue is done then before that delivery date , you have to create Consignment Issue for some quantity

Stock Mvmt : From Cust. Consignment at our warehouse to Subcontractor

Hello,
We have a situation with a customer. We have customer consignment in our Warehouse for this customer. We need to send some parts out to Subcontractor. What mvmt can be used for this purpose?
If it was our inventory, we could use mvmt type 541. But this is customer owned so we cannot use the regular 541 mvmt. Can we use 541W mvmt type in Tcode MB1B for this purpose ? If the answer is yes then please advise how I can add this mvmt in the configuration because 541W is not available.
Or if there is any other way of executing this process.
Thanks.
Meenakshi

Hello Meenakshi,
you would need an own movement type which must be modified, i.e. system tables have to be enhanced. I suggest not doing it (deep knowledge of movement type tables needed) but creating a dummy SLoc (not ATP-relevant) to carry out the 2-step booking - 632-541). Perhaps you can create an own cockpit based on BAPI_GOODSMVT_CRERATE to perform both booking in 1 step for the user (but of course with 2 steps just like the manual bookings!!).
411 isn't suitable, it's for vendor consignment.
Cheers,
Attila

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.

How to Handle Returns of Vendor Consigned Stock Issued via Delivery ?

Hi.
I am currently able to issue Vendor Consigned Stock via Delivery. I use Lean Warehouse Management, and I have implemented Stock Determination Rule to take Vendor Consigned Stock and Unrestricted own stock in account during Issue. I am even able to insert the correct Vendor Number during the confirmation of the Transfer Order. When I generate the Goods Issue of the Delivery Order, I get an accounting document that affects both the Account Payable Liability and a Consumption Account.
Now My Question is this :
How do I handle Customer Complaints that lead to a Return of the Goods, back into Vendor Consigned Stock ? The goods that is returned, needs to be taken back into Vendor-Consigned Status, and a appropriate Accounting Document needs to be generated to reverse out the Acct Payable Liability and Consumption Account entries.
Do I use a Returns 'RE' Sales Order to bring back the Stock ? I need to be able to create a Return Delivery that will immediately post the returned Stock back into Vendor Consigned Status. So where and how can I key in the vendor number in the Return delivery, keeping in mind Return Delivery in Standard SAP does not use Warehouse Management ?
regards
Peo

Hi Edmund
I think you can try the following:
1. Define a new schedule line category - here you can define the movement type and the item category (as given in a Purchase Info Record). - Transaction VOV6
2. Define a new sales order type for returns. - Transaction VOV8
3. Define a new item category for the returns document, - you can mention the special stock type here too
4. Carry out the sales order to item category and item category to schedule line category assignments.
I am not sure if the system will prompt you to provide the vendor number or how does it populate the vendor no. while posting the material doc. However you can try this out and check if this solves your issue.

Vendor return process for consignment stock not yet own by you

Hello guru,
I need some help from you on the following type of vendor return.
We receive vendor consignment goods into our warehouse and we notice we would like to return back to the vendor after several defects
defect were spotted few month later, how to execute vendor return like this given that the stock still own by the vendor
in accounting perspective?
Should I just create another PO and flag the return indicator and perform a movement 161 in MIGO? Is this method workable way
of doing this?
What if we need a delivery document to be generated after 161 movements is posted in MIGO?
Appreciate it.
Tuff

Hi,
   The vendor consignment stock has no accounting impact till the stock is issued to own stock or consumed (411K or 201K movement).
   Standard SAP recommends to use direct return delivery using 122 movement in MIGO to return the consignment stock material back to vendor.
   If you still wanted to proceed with return PO, then maintain the message ME640 as warning message (W) in the path: OLME - Environment Data - Define Attributes of System Messages - System messages. Now, create a return PO and create GR against the return PO.
   If you want proceed with SD route for returning to vendor, refer the thread: Return PO with Text material shipping tab

THird Party PO Scenario - GR into Customer Consignment Stock

HI,
In a Third party scenario, is there any possible way to post the GR into Customer consignment stock ?!
In std SAP,
PR is generated from Sales order and the PO is created w.r.to the PR.
PR & PO will have the acct assignment ( sales order) and item category (third party).
during GR, we can't see the stock in the system. because the GR is statistical one since the stock is directly deliverd at customer place.
But in the current world in our case,
the stock is delivered in an external warehouse, from where the goods will be delivered to customer at a later point.
we want to track the stock in external warehouse. so, we want to have this as the "customer consignment stock". ( we may have this as a SLOC and from there we can transfer to customer consignment stock. but there will not be any link for the sales order and this customer consignment stock and moreover during GR we are not updating the stock...)
SO here is the question,
how can we update the stock during GR for Third party order( as far as I know, we can't define new item category).
If we are updating the stock during GR for 3rd party, then we may find a way to post it to the customer consignment....
Pls share your ideas..thanks.

Third Party Consignment? Anyone have an answer? I have the same requirement

Consignment stock vs Unrestricted Stock in SAP APO

DC ( has vendor co location) -------> Tier 2 location ( garage)
can consignment stock (ECC) be considered for replenishment at Tier 2 location in SNP APO by Heuristics / optimizer?
to account for replenishment at Garages from the DC locations , can the consignment stock at DC be used ?
does Heuristics / optimizer consider it to propose transfer orders ?

Hi Ashfaq,
You can plan these stocks in APO by integrating it using CIF.
You can activate the transfer of vendor consignment stocks in the integration model by using the Storage Location Stocks indicator in the CIF integration model.
Make sure that the vendor master data must be contained in the same integration model as the stocks.

Handling Consignment Stock at Customer Location

Hi Experts,
Please advise how to handle consignment stock at customer location in SAP B1 2005B, the situation is in this way;
The customer pays for the goods but the delivery is a consignment shipment.
Regards,
Shakeel

Hi Shakeel,
We handle this in the following way:
(only works well if you do not have too many customers wanting CS)
To summarise
1) Created new BP Account spcificly for CStock for Partner wanting consignment stock.
2) Order for Consignment stock entered on new account, delivered and invoiced (invoice never sent to Customer) but you have a delivery note.
3) Balance on Cstock BP account credited back to 0 but the stock is credited back to a new stock warehouse (e.g. CS001). customer now has stock and you have a record of what has been sent in location CS001
4) Cutomer notifies usage of stock.
5) Manual invoce raised on Actual BP account for consumed stock against warehouse CS001 (warehouse entered on invoice line) we also change payment terms for CS stock invoices.
6) CS0001 Warehouse not been reduced by invoice qty and you have and invoice to send to the consumer.
There are one or two floors in the procedure. eg handling changes in cost of stock.
Happy to send you our procedures is you put an email on your business card.
Thanks,
Mike

InterCompany Customer Consignment stock with Valuated

Hi
Any one help me in understanding the Customer Consignment Process.
First a normal consignment Process with Valuated Stock
Second thing We need to move the Goods from one Company to another Company directly to Customer Consignment Valuated Stock. Please Give the full Process Step with the detailed Transaction . A has the SO .The stocks are Available in B Company .We need to Move the Stock from one company to direct consignment.
Any help will be highly appreciated .
Thanks
Jeevan

Hi Nick,
1. Go through Consignment Stock Processing
Purpose
Consignment goods are goods which are stored at the customer location but which are owned by your 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 which are not required.
Consignment processing offers the participating partners several advantages. Customers store the consignment goods at their own warehouses. The customer can access the goods in the consignment warehouse at any time. They are only billed for the goods when they are removed from the warehouse and only for the actual quantity taken.
Since consignment stocks still form part of your valuated stock, you must manage this stock in your system.
However, consignment stock must be
Managed separately from the rest of your stock so that you know exactly what stock is stored at the customer location
Managed separately for each customer
In inventory management, the consignment stock is managed as special stock in your inventory and is assigned to specific customers. This enables you to keep track of returnable packaging stock by customer.
If the consignment stocks are not managed by the sold-to party but by a central office, you can use the partner function for special stock partner.
Prerequisites
Special Stock Partner
The special stock partner has been defined for carrying out consignment stock processing by means of a third party rather than the customer. This means you can manage all special stock under one partner. It makes sense to use the special stock partner if your customer is using decentralized order processing but manages consignment stock centrally.
Inventory Management Using the Special Stock Partner
If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner, proceed as follows:
Create a customer master record for the special stock partner (account groups 0001 and DEBI are defined for this purpose in the standard system).
Enter the special stock partner in the relevant customer master record on the partner screen using the partner function SB.
When you create an order for this customer, the system automatically proposes the partner function SB in the document header and the document items. Consignment goods which have been entered in a consignment fill-up are always posted to the stock of the special stock partner when goods issue is carried out. You can also enter the partner function SB manually in the document header or in the relevant items if a special stock partner is required and is not proposed from the customer master record. If a special stock partner does not exist in the document header, inventory management is carried out using the sold-to party.
Process Flow
There are four main transactions for processing consignment stock in the R/3 System, all of which support separate management of stock:
Consignment fill-up
Consignment fill up is used to supplement the customers consignment stock.
Goods issue of the appropriate stock is posted from the unrestricted-use stock to consignment stock (special stock). The goods remain in the possession of the vendor.
When you ship consignment stock to the customer, you record the transaction by creating a consignment fill-up order (order type KB). As a result, 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.
Consignment pick-up
Consignment issue enables the customer to take consignment goods from the special stock for their use or to sell.
Consignment issue involves removing the goods from the special stock and making it the property of the customer.
When the customer removes consignment stock to use or sell, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment issue order (order type KE). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from both the customers special stock and your own total valuated stock.
The transaction is relevant for pricing since the goods now become the property of the customer.
Consignment issue
Any consignment goods stored at the customers warehouse that havent been used can be reposted to your companys warehouse with a consignment pick-up.
If the customer returns consignment stock to you, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment pick-up order (order type KA). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from the customers 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 customers premises.
This transaction is not relevant for billing.
Consignment return
Consignment returns are used for when your customer wants to return goods to the consignment stock.
If the customer wishes to claim on consignment goods which have already been issued, you can record this transaction by creating a consignment return order (order type KR). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:
When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is added to the customers special stock at the plant where the goods are returned
Since the ownership of the goods is passed from the customer back to your company, the transaction is relevant for billing. In this case, the customer receives a credit memo for the returned goods.
Depending on the settings in Customizing for Sales, you can create consignment returns with direct reference to a consignment issue. The consignment issue appears in the document flow for the consignment return. This function is not supported in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System.
When you create consignment returns in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System, the system automatically sets a billing block. To credit a return, you must first approve the request for a credit memo by removing the billing block in the return header. You can control the automatic setting of a billing block in Customizing for Sales.
The following order types used in the standard system for processing consignments:
Transaction
Sales order type
Consignment fill-up
KB
Consignment issue
KE
Consignment pick-up
KA
Consignment return
KR
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 KE and KA check against the consignment stock for the customer involved and order type KB checks against your own plant stock. Requirement records for consignment stock are stored as individual requirements, independently of the setting in the material master record.
2. You can sell the products to the same customer through other sales areas with configuration of common divisions and distribution channels.
3. Go through the IMG settings Sales and distribution --> billing ---> Inter company billing
I hope It will give you some Idea,
Regards,
Murali.

Using Consignment Stock and filling up an unrelated Sales Order

Hi there,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I have an issue that I hoped SCN may be able to resolve.
We have a client for whom we hold Stock in our warehouse location. We fill up this stock using SAP Sales Orders (at 0 revenue) to maintain levels to satisfy need.
When the client puts in a stock request, they do so using our front end quoting engine which is integrated with SAP, and effectively drives the client invoice. This sends through picking and shipping requests to our warehouse who immediately action the stock holding to satisfy the request, creating Outbounds against the stocking order(s).
At a later stage the quoting engine creates a Sales Quotation in SAP which is then converted to a Sales Order. In order to reconcile the Order and the shipments, the Stock Order Outbounds are then reversed, and re-issued against this new (unrelated) Sales Order, and then we can move to invoice.
Step by Step, the process broadly looks as follows:
- Order Stock via 'Sales Order (1)'
- Pick and Deliver Stock (Outbounds are created against Stock 'Sales Order (1)')
- Process the client request and create 'Invoice Sales Order (2)'
- Reverse the Outbounds against Stock 'Sales Order (1)' and link these to 'Invoice Sales Order (2)'.
- Process to Invoice.
I am trying to determine if there is a more efficient means of processing this requirement, and whether consignment stock can help us here. From what I have read, I am assuming that for consignment stock a saleable YKE can only be created against an existing YKB. For the model that we are trying to operate, ideally we need a solution where we can Associate the YKB items to YOR, or perhaps achieve the following:
- Order Stock via 'Sales Order (1)'
- Move this Stock into a "Bucket"
- Pick and Delivery this stock out of the "Bucket"
- Transfer the delivery over to the 'Invoice Sales Order (2)' when required.
I'd welcome any suggestions here to helps us optimise the process.
Many thanks,
Alexander.

Hi Alexander ,
Yes ofcourse you can use consignmentment Process
and you can use the concept of special stock partner in the partner profile
Spoecial stock partner (SB) can assign to your ship to party
1stly you can do consignment fill up( with your customer name (ex-2316)
then at the time of creating the consignment issue parter function use 2361 customer

Clear stocks under consignment stock

Hi Expert,
I need to clear out the consignment stocks since it is not exist in storage. how can i do that? i try to do MI10 but cannot since it is consignment. is there any other way? i just want it to be cleared out from SAP. if i transfer these stock into my own stock, it will trigger account posting,meaning my AP need to pay the vendor right? but the stock is not exist actually. its just that the value is there in MMBE. Please guide me how to cleare it out.
Thanks

between MI09 and MI10 is not much difference, MI10 just saves the MI07 step compared to MI09. So there would not be a different effect regarding your consignment.
However: Removing material from consignment stores or transferring material to your companyu2019s own stock results in liabilities towards the vendor.
As the vendors stock is in your warehouse, YOU are responsible for losses, hence you have to pay for, hence it will create a liability.
The error message you get just means that system cannot find a valid info record with to determine the price.
if you never got the materail from your vendor, then you should reverse the goods receipt, this will not create liablities.

Consignment Stock movements in ORT_C37

Hi Experts,
I am working on BW IS-Retail implementation. In my project for stock information, we are using 0RT_C37 infocube. But I am not getting the consignment stock material movements in my report. Please let me know how to get the consignment material movements in 0rt_c37 infocube.
Any enhancements required for 2lif_03_bf infosource. I saw the consignements stock movements in 0IC_C03 cube. But I am using 0rt_c37 cube for retail values.
Please help me out from this issue.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi
There are two option for u
First option is...you can update the same cube with another infosource and updat rule to feed the data into the cube and get the consignment stock detail
this should not affect the data consistency or granularity of the cube....
Second option is..as already said create a multiprovider or infoset depending on the report...if u feel joins wil be useful go for infoset query or union condition is sufficing ur report requirement go for multiprovider....
this should not affect the reporting performance as joins are done during runtime and may take some time to fetch
