Returnable packaging process-Vendor-Company-Customer

Dear SAP Gurus,
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 info concerning returnable packaging in relation 'my company' - 'customer' is quite accessible, however what about the process from vendor's side?
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 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?
- 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)?
If there is an existing topic here (I was no able to find one) or any materials on the net I would be also grateful for the links.
Thank you in advance!

Can I use Customer consignment process for Returnable packaging?

Hi experts,
I have Returnable packaging process, ex: Gas
I create 2 material Gas (Item category group: Norm) and Gas bottle (LEIH) and my process is done with normal customer.
but with Customer consignment, when I Fill-up, VA01 (Order type: KB) I cant save it.
Help me

That's different...
If you want to time the duration of a process, you ahve to add a frame in the sequence, before reading the ticks. leave the iniatial tick count inside.

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-

Returnable packaging scenario

returnable packaging scenario

Hi,
Returnable packaging consists of materials that are stored at the customer location but which remain the property of your company. The customer is only required to pay you for the returnable packaging if he does not return it to you by a specified time. Using this function you can, for example, process euro-pallets. You can also use it to resell returnable packaging to a third party. Since stocks of returnable packaging form part of your valuated stock even when they are at the customer site, you must manage them in your system.
However, stocks of returnable packaging 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
Inventory management treats returnable packaging as special stock in your inventory and is assigned to specific customers. This enables you to keep track of returnable packaging stock by customer.
Prerequisites
Settings in the Material Master Record
A prerequisite for returnable packaging processing is that the value LEIH (returnable packaging) is entered in the material master record on the second sales screen in the Item category group field. This entry in combination with the document type automatically determines the appropriate item category for each transaction involving the material.
Settings for the Special Stock Partner
You must define a special stock partner for processing returnable packaging when a third party is involved. This means you can manage all special stock under one partner. You might use this partner function if your customer, for example, uses a decentralized order processing system but manages returnable packaging centrally. You can also use this partner function to process returnable packaging when a carrier is involved (for example, for euro-pallets). If you want to process returnable packaging using the special stock partner, first make the settings which are described for Consignment Stock Processing.
If you want to manage returnable packaging for a carrier, for whom a vendor record already exists, you must also create a customer master record for the carrier. You are then able to assign returnable packaging stock to the carrier.
Process Flow
There are three main transactions for processing returnable packaging, all of which support separate inventory management:
Creating Returnable Packaging Shipments
Creating Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Creating Returnable Packaging Issue
Returnable Packaging Shipments
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 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.
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 customers 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.

Returnable packaging in customer consignment process

I have this scenario:
I have returnable packaging (drums) that have been setup as non valuated materials in SAP. The item category in deliveries in YB10.
These drums have serial numbers. Since some maintenance needs to be done on these drums from time to time, therefore, equipment's need to be created for the drums. The equipment number and serial number are the same and the serial number profile is setup in such a way that the equipment is created automatically when the serial number is created
When the drums are in stock, the status is ESTO
Now, in the normal order to cash process, this is what happens:
1) Sales order - order is created for a material
2) Delivery - The drums are added to the delivery along with the material through a packing proposal. A serial number is specified for the drum and the order is PGI'ed to the customer
At this point, the status of the equipment/serial number changes to ECUS
3) Billing - normal billing (drums are billed)
4) Return delivery YBG5 - the empty drum is accepted back into warehouse
After PGR, the status of the serial number changes back to ESTO
During the customer consignment process, this is what is happening:During the consignment fill up when stock goes from warehouse to customer, the status of the serial number is changing to ECUS
During consignment issue, since we can only issue whatever material is there, the same serial number that was used during fill up is being used
However, when we do a delivery against the consignment issue, we are getting an error that the status of the serial number is ECUS and it is not suitable for movement
Since consignment stock is still owned by the company until an consignment issue is done, I am wondering whether SAP is behaving correctly by changing the status of the serial umber to ECUS after the consignment fill up.
Is there a way to use the same serial number in the consignment issue as the consignment fill up?
Please reply urgently

Try the following
Go to OMWB transaction and simulate the posting using your plant, material and movement type
The simulation will show the standard postings based upon goods movement
E.G. 601 GBB VAX valuation class, account
Identify your accounts assigned to both sides of the posting and then you should be able to re-assign the g/l accounts to the appropriate modifier string within OBYC
Hope it helps
Steve

How to process returnable packaging to carrier?

Dear All,
Could you let me know if it is possible to process returnable packaging going to carrier? If so, could you let me know how?
Thank you. Your response would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lem

Hi ,
Create your Carrier as a Special Stock Partners in SAP.Assign them to your Sold to Party (Customer) Master record.
The Special Stock Partner Functions key is SB.
Create the Returnable Packaging Material .The Item Category Group 'LEIH' is the SAP standard for Returnable Packaging Material..
At Sales Order level the standard Item Category is 'TAL'(Returnable Packaging).
You can view the Consignment stock which is with the Carrier (Special Stock Business Partner ) in MMBE.
You can charge them if the Carrier doesn't return back the material by creating Returnable Packaging Issue which will enable you to create Invoice.
You can take back the returned Packing Materials back into stock by creating a Returnable Packaging Pick up document.
Have a Nice Day.
Regards,
Ravi

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 ...Third party subcontracting

Hello SAP Eperts,
This is third party subcontracting scenario but is for RTP material.
1. Import Vendor "A" will send material in returnable packaging RTP to plant "P"
3. Bank guarantee will be provided to return the RTP within 6 months. If not returned, "P" will have to pay duty with penalty on the same
4. The movement of RTP should generate alerts say at end of 4,4.5,5 5.5 months
5. GR will be done for RTP in "P"
6. RTP material is dispatched to subcontracting vendor "B",
7. RTP will be returned to "P" by subcontracting vendor "B"
8. "P" has to send back the empties [RTP] to "A" without payment of duty
How to configure in SAP. Please describe complete process
Thanks
Tushar

It is realy a complex business to be mapped in SAP..
1 RTP can be received as free tick or with transport equipment..
2 For mapping bank guarranty consult with FI...for FI functionality..
3 movement of RTP should generate alerts say at end of 4,4.5,5 5.5 months---->
For this u have to maintain work flow.. Consult Abaper
4 RTP subcontracting can be mapped in STD,
5 By return PO or 122/502 this can be send back to vendor

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
Ramki

Custmer return packaging matl with valuated SIT

Hi Experts
we have a sales order with FG as first line item and cylinder as second line item (cust. returnable packaging item).
We use valuated SIT process.
Upon entering VLPOD, the cylinder gets posted as goods issued item in stead of posting as special stock at customer (retn.pkg item).
Is there any notes or work around to get the stock in transit posted to return, pkg item.
regards
ramSiva

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.

Sales of returnable packaging material

Plz advice.

I can understand the process, I just asked what this has to do with returnable packaging?
you dont have to return this to the vendors, you dont expect it returned from your customer. So why is it returnable packaging then?
I would not use returnable packaging material type for at least 2 reasons: it is a material type for a speical process in SAP, and you confuse the users putting materials in that material type but using then a different process.
In general you can sell anything. The big question is just how you want the material to be in your system.
should it be stock managed or not? should it be valuated or not.
if stock managed, then you have to create the stock yourself as you never ordered it. this can be done either with 501 movement, or as already mentioned by others with 202 movement, (561, 552 and inventory movement 70* are as well possible)

Configuration of Returnable packaging materials
