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.

  • STO for semi finished product along with returnable package

    Dear Experts,
    I am transferring semi finished product along with returnable package from Manufacturing to depot, for that i am creating purchase order (two line items in po, one is semi finish and other is returnable package) and creating delivery through VL10B.
    system creates delivery, showing the item category NLN for both line items i..e semi finished and returnable package and billing(vf01) is coming for both item.
    my requirement is billing to be only semi finished, returnable package should be update only qty billing should not coming for returnable package
    for that which item category have to maintain and where it maintain for returnable package and how it flows from mm to SD?
    Regards

    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.
    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

  • 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.

  • 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 customer’s 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 customer’s 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 customer’s 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Proforma invoices for non-valuated returnable packaging

    All,
    just wondering whether it is required to send a proforma invoice for non-valuated returnable packaging that is sent across a border.
    Can anybody help me on that one?
    Thx in advance!
    Regards,
    B.

    Hi,
    Going by std SAP best practices, if you are sending materials across the border and also entering foreign trade export data in your sales documents it is advisable to have a proforma invoice for your returnable packaging materials else they may be subject to other taxes, customs or excise duty.
    You may check with SAP Global Trade Solutions to check about the implications in detail.

  • Requirements for Returnable Packaging Logistics (IS-A-RL)

    Hi!
    I would like to know what requirements there are for implementing Returnable Packaging Logistics (IS-A-RL). As I understand the information found in http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1b/369b95703e4d7db68834bfe79753a5/frameset.htm
    the only requirements are that the following components get the enhancement pack 4 ve4sions i e
    SAP_APPL 603
    EA-APPL 603
    ECC-DIMP 603
    and that business function Industry-Specific SD Enhancement  (EA-ISE) also is activated.
    But what about DIMPS? Does this need to be activated as well or is it enough that the correct version is imported to the system?
    Best regards
    /Björn

    Reply from SAP support:
    If you are a DIMP customer (switched on the Business Function Set DIMP
    with the Business Function DIMP_SDUD) you will have automatically also
    the RL function. If you are not a DIMP customer then one prediction for
    using the Business Function LOG_MM_RL is, to have the EA-APPL software
    layer, another is, to apply the DIMP EhP3 and the DIMP support packages
    an then you can switch on the BF LOG_MM_RL.

  • Manual posting for returnable packaging ( RL11)

    Please guide me about step by step inputs to be made in transaction RL11
    Iam new to returnable packaging

    Hello,
    normally the posting should be made in background automatically when the packaging material is used in the delivery note.
    To post a manual record, you need to insert at minimum the following in the RL11:
    - Movement type 811
    - Material number
    - Quantity
    - Reference (your delivery number)
    company code
    and the locations (e.g. plant and customer)
    see attached screenshot.
    If everything is correct you get a green check symbol at the beginning.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Packager for macintosh fails

    Adobe Creative Cloud Packager for macintosh fails.
    The error log says "[ERROR] AdobePackageBuilder -  AdobePackageBuilder : SendPacket returned error : -1".
    I tried 4-5 times.
    Everything is downloaded (took about 14 Gb).
    I now have only 12Gb free space on my disk. Can that be the reason (will the packager need to make a copy of the downloaded stuff?).
    When I am done, how do I reclaim the space eaten by the packager?
    Seems like it is caching it at ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CCP, but will I manually have to delete that cache?
    I cannot find a menu entrance for doing so.
    Would be nice if the packager could use a mounted network disk as destination, but it seems not to discover these.
    /Peter Andersen

    Wanted to join in and say this has been happening to me too. I wiped every adobe file I could find, and used the cleaner too. Started over from scratch in a brand new user account.
    It's been about 7 days and I cannot get CCP to actually build a package. I've gotten a variety of messages but everything single time something fails. The new thing is that it says it fails on individual applications. So I disable them, and the error jumps to a new app. I can see that the .dmg's are fine and intact in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CCP/
    Given the amount of time this has cost me I really wish I had purchased CS6 Master Collection for every workstation. From my perspective, Creative Cloud has been nothing more then a giant waste of time and effort. It's genuinely bad product from an IT management perspective. Why push off the job of building and installer onto the customer? I should just be able to download the full Master Collection dmg, and then turn on and off the apps I want. Instead I am stuck with a workstation down, and everyone using CC trials to work.

  • 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-
