Returnable packaging material

In our company, liquid glucose deliver to customers in Metal drums which are returnable. Metal drums are of two types i.e. New metal drums and 2nd Hand metal drums. First production department issue new drums for the production of liquid glucose then these drums are sold to customer. In every delivery, add 2nd hand drums with the liquid glucose. i want to convert new drums into the 2nd hand drums at the time of Back flush of liquid glucose instead of consumption of new drums in the result of back flush.

As per your scenario, you sent a material which is returnable and when you get back, it should changed to another material.
but in the standard SAP it is not possible.
you can change the material after you receive back, using MvT-309.

How to enter a returnable packaging material during inbound delivery?

Hi,
How do you add a returnable packaging material from vendor as a line item in the inbound delivery? When I try to add a LEIH type material as a line item in the inbound delivery (VL32N), the following error is displayed:
"No item category exists (Table T184L EL VERP ELP)"
Thanking you in advance,
Sreelakshmi

HI.
Please reffer the below link.
ERROR : No item category exists (Table T184L LB VERP )
Error while creating I/B delivery: No item category exists (Table T184L EL)
1) EL = is the delivery type you are using for Returns to Vendors
2) VERP = is the Item Category Group in the material master of
3) ELP= Item Usage
You have to add the missing configuration as follow:
IMGLogistics ExecutionShippingDeliveriesDefine Item Category
Determination in Deliveries(Transaction 0184).
Create a new entry or copy from an existing one for VERP. NOTE: The Delivery Item Category RLLN is the standard defined by SAP, be
sure you enter the one defined in you company.
Thanking you

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 Material Flow

Hi,
I have setup Item Cateogry Grp as ZLEI (Copy of LEIH).
In the Delivery Item Cateogry determination, setup Item Cateogry ZZAL
(Copy of ZTAL) for delivery type ZLF and Item Cateogry Group ZLEI.
Completed the relevant settings for the determination of the returnable
packaging material in delivery through the packaging material type.
Still when I am picking the HU in my delivery, I am not able to get the
returnable packaging materials in my delivery after TO confirmation.
But if I change the Item Cateogry Group in material master as LEIH, it
works and I see my returnable packing materials in delivery.
Can somebody please advise why I am not able to use ZLEI (Copy of LEIH) item
cateogry group for determination of return materials in delivery.
Regards,
Harsh

Harsh,
The error is not in Item category group LEIH to ZLEI, it is in the item category From TAL to ZTAL.
Redo it slowly, the moment you copy TAL to ZTAL click tick mark then copy controls screen will apppear accept it by clicking ok.
Then Check Assignemnt of sales Document to item category check whether you are using the item category group you have created and item category assignemnt.
Check... Revert for Clarification

Sales of returnable packaging material

Dear Experts,
Greetings!
My issue is how do I make a sell of returnable packing material? We are receiving the materials in forms of Bales(packagint unit).Now with those bales we get a wires as well.We may say it is a "Bailing wire".How do i get those bailing wire in stock so that I can sell it to the customer?
Plz advice.
Best Rgds
Nitin

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)

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 Package material

Hi Friends,
Need your help,
We purchase oil in drum and per pallet can hold 4 drums, after usage of oil we will send few drums and pallets back to vendor.
Questions I have :
Assumption :
1 Drum = 100 Lts
1. Do I need to create PO for Oil, drums and pallet, because while making receipt for 10,000 Lts of oil, system must understand I have received 100 drums and 25 pallets, there must not be any manual intervention in the process.
2. While returning, how I can handle partial return of empty Drums and pallets.
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi

Hi,
You can use HUM for this purpose.
In the inbound delivery based on your settings and master data system can:
- automatically pack the main items
- generate the packaging material items (drum & pallet in your case)
- post them to stock during GR.
You can achieve this by the use of nested handling unit (oil --> drum --> pallet).

How to attach returnable packaging material to raw material or semi-finished material or finished material?

Hello experts,
i want to send raw material to a subcontractor for external process. my raw material is Steel Rods and i am sending it for some micro blasting process or some finishing process.
i want to send the plastic crates with the rods. (capacity of 1 plastic crate is of maximum 6 rods).
my problem is, whenever i send the rods, the system should ask to send the plastic crates according to the qty of rods.(for 1 to 6 rods = 1 plastic crate).
if crates are not present in stock then system should not allow to send the raw material or rods to suppliers.
the plastic crates are my assets. it should be return back the same way as per the return qty of rods. and i should get the report like, how many plastic crates are laying with how many suppliers, when i had sent the plastic crates to suppliers, with what type of material, and how much cost of plastic crates is laying with my suppliers etc.
is it possible in SAP? if yes then please let me know what type of settings i have to do in SAP?
i am eagerly waiting for your reply...!.

T- code -cs01, enter Raw amterial, Plant , BOM usage and enter
enter your component material as Plastic carates qty 1 ea.
Click on Item Icon and enter as per below in the screen - Base qunatity - 6 ea
Double click on item 0010 on Display Material BOM : General Item overview page

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.

Stock Transfer of Returnable Packing Material - CRATE

Dear Sap gurus,
This process involve into a dairy industry,
They sell of fresh milk pdoduct like Chaach, Paneer & Shrikhand at Manufacturing plant as well as Parlours .
Now, as per the business process, my client wants to do stock transfer of these products along with CRATE (material type LEIH for Returnable packaging). to their Parlours. Next day crates will be return to the plant.
My question is when i am doing normal sales to customer my returnable packaging material process working fine as per standard SAP Process but in case of stock transfer of crate - line item doesn't display at the time of delivery:
Now my client will have track record of how much qty of crates they have given to their Parlours.
Right now we went ahead considering the scenario & the process is:
1) ME21N --- Create PO with2 line items as milk Product & crate
2) VL10B --- Put PO number and Create Delivery in background
3) VL02N --- Delivery created with ONLY 1 line ie milk and NO CRATE line item.
4) MIGO
So the major issues in this are:
1) During Delivery creation, the material crate should appear automatically as a separate line item.
2) The Parlour should be able to do GR for this crate .
Please suggest, the configuration to be done.
Thanks & Regards
Prashant Ray

Hi Prashanth,
This is std feature in returnable packaging scenario & very well achievable with Config.
In your case, you are not able to get the ret. packing line item in STO delivery.
Which means, Delivery item category determination is missing.
To populate packing material in a seperate line item, you need to check the below settings-
- in Packing material type ( Tx:VHAR) - Plant determination field should be = B -Determine Plant from first line item
- Tx:0184 - maintain
Delivery type + Item Cat Group + usage + heigherr leve item cat = Def item cat
eg: NL + LEIH + PACK = HUPM
- Packing material should exist in respective sales org & dist channel which is available in Delivery - Header - Adminstration tab
- in Delivery, after packing- select the "additional data" tab in packing screen, item category should be displayed, if its blank. line item will not be displayed
Test & revert.
Its tested scenario & working fine.

Reazuddin MD

At the time Of delievery(VL02N) we are attaching Returnable packaging material with Serial number.But when I click PGI.System giving Message <b>Enter a customer for special stock V</b>(E M7 072).
Please any body suggest me how to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Raghu

Raghu,
first try to put the sold-to in the ship-to customer master (partner view). Then make a new TO and deliver it.
If it doesn't work we have to make a little userexit in MV50AFZ1 to add the sold-to party in the delivery before save. If you need it I can find out some template for this.
