Returnable packing material flow

Dear All,
We are suppling finished goods to our vendor with packing material (try or carate, PP boxes) on returnable basis. ( For example lamps with plasctic bins) In sales order we are not entering the returnable material but in delivery Vl01n we are taking it as packing materialitem categery TAL-ret. packing shipment. In MM we are maintaining gen. item cat. grp as VERP-packing and item cat. group as LEIH-ret. packing. Now at time of billing system is considering only regular codes for billing, system is not generating billing for re. packing material as we have given item cat as LEIH. But if you go to vf04 the delivery is showing pending coz of returanable packing material. I want to know hot to cleare the pending delivery.
I want the process flow.

If the customer wants to retuns the packaing material then
Returnable Package Pick Pickup > Returns Delivery> Goods Reciept. Then the quantities of returanble package items, will move from specal stock to unrestricted stock.
If customer does not want to return, Returnable Package Issue --> Invoice.
Hope this helps.

Returnable packing material

Dear all,
I am in the process of configuring returnable packing material.
Please provide me the details of configuration .
saravanan

You have to create the material master of the packaging material with Material Type "VERP".
Packaging materials are of two types
1. Non-returnable
2. Returnable
The Non-returnable packaging material uses Item category group "VERP".
Packaging material is an order independent item (without order), so its Item category will be determined in the Delivery.
Item category determination_
Delivery type (e.g LF )
+
Item category group ( VERP )
+
Item usage ( PACK )
+
Item category of higher level item if exist
In standard setting ,Item category of the Non-returnable packaging is DLN.
This non-returnable packaging is copied to the Billing document.
The Returnable packaging uses Item category group LEIH.
Similarly LF + LEIH + PACK = Item category TAL.
Retunable packaging is not copied to the billing document as the customer returns it back. If the customer does not return then it is charged to the customer.
If it is returned by the customer, then an order is created with order type "Returnable packaging pick-up" (LA) ,followed by a Return delivery.
If it is kept by the customer, then order type (LN) and a order related billing is created.

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

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.

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

Return packing material

Hi Gurus i need help in the below business scenario
1) We will rent the pallet with a product, and will pay the rent until we ship it to the customer.
Once we shipped to the customer we are not bother about the pallets.
My only question is how to catch the cost of the pallets.
For example
Generally when we buy the products from the vendor, the vendor ships it with the pallet, he will charge the pallets on the basis of days. The sooner we deliver to the customer the better, as we reduce the cost of the pallet.
Right now we are not capturing the cost of pallets on r/3, but we want to include in the r/3.
we are implementing 6.0
Please help me in this issue this is quiet urget
Thanks

1. Create the purchase order ME21N with item category as service-D & account category cost center. Enter the Rent in description and service tab. Give the approximate hr in quantity & rent amount per hr in gross price available in item tab.
2. Create Service entry sheet ML81N and enter the exact hrs and rent.
3.Do the invoice.

Returnable packing

Hi all!
I am doing delivery with packing and returnable packing material.
After PGI, i am creating billing.
Here system asks to maintain price for packing and returnable packing also.
But I should not maintain price for returnable packing.
How can we solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Babs

Dear Babs,
This is due to pricing related settings in the itemcategory of the Returnable package item so
Please go to VOV7 transaction select your Returnable package item itemcategory then go in to the details of that here you will find the field Pricing you keep this field as blank (No pricing) If you don't want price for the returnable packing materail
I hope it will help you,

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)

Packing Material returned back to inventory

Hi,
Our client uses standard costing for all materials. We have a scenario where material is packed in drums. The drums are then returned back into inventory as the material is despatched to the customer packed in a different form. A drum rate per pound of production is loaded into the standard cost of the packed material. The problem now is that the inventory of the used drum is in a balance sheet account while the credit for drum cost on production goes to the P&L account. Is there some method by which only that portion of the drum cost on production can be credited to a reserve account?
I was thinking i could apply an overhead rate on the packed material and credit it to an internal order and end of month settle to a balance sheet account. But overhead cannot be provided on output, rather it is based on input. is there some way by which I could use template allocation to credit an order andd debit the production order? Or is there some other better method?
Thanks,
Shivram

Hi
I myself never used it, but I know it can be used to allocate OH based on Output....
refer this thread for more details... Re: Activity Type Planning on the basis of Raw materials
Moreover, I would prefer to use a work around as below, which I used in a similar scenario
1. Convert the Drums into Fixed Asset... The FA recon account can be "Inventory of Drums".. Dont club this account under FA in your Financial St Version in FI
2. Assign a Manual Dep Key in this asset masters... i.e. You can manually post the Depreciation of these assets as per your choice
3. Post this entire dep into one cost center... Later on allocate it to the Prod orders or absorb it as an overhead using costing sheet
To make it more simpler, assign an activity type "PRDQTY" in your Routing.... This PRDQTY will record your Prod Qty....
The Activity Qty of this PRDQTY will be equal to your Base Qty of the routing.... So, whatever output you confirm on the Prod order in CO11N, the same amount of Act Qty will also get confirmed
Then calculate the Act Price for this act type which will be Depreciation amount for wear n tear / Prod Qty.... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!!

Movement type for customer supplied packing material returns

Hi,
The scenario is like this,customer will give the packing material to the company.Company does the service required & return that packing material to customer.Presently we are using 624V movement type can you suggest some other movement type for this.
Regards,
Rajesh

hi,
this is to inform you that,
if customer is supplying the packaging material to us receive it through 501 - M and Issue 502 - M, manually if you want to track the packing material wise take the material into NON VALUATED ITEM.
you can create a Z report for the same and the fields in that is,
material number, packing material associated with that, quantity received thru 501 - M and consumed against 502 - M and GI quantity.

Returnable packing process

hai gurus,
We have received the requirements from the user, regarding returnable packing process, For a kind information, it is different from normal returnable packing process from sap standard.
1.     User want to track the inventory of the packing material (eg trolley) what goes out & what come in.
2.     when delivery is done stock of the returnable material should be reduced and increased in customer a/c
3.     while invoicing , for the regular material , price has to be calculated, where as packing material price should not be considered.
4.     When trolley returnu2019s from customer , I have to take the material inside with reference to invoice, but customer does not specify any details. so how can I take the material inside. Order should not be used to take the material inside. if incase of any damage also debit note will not be raised..
Now, I have stucked up with the 4 th point, I have to take the material inside with reference to invoice. When the transaction is done, stock has to be deplicated from customer a/c and increased in inventory a/c. without using any specific order type tthis process has to carried out. Kindly suggest.

Returnable Packing - Sales order maintainance / Item Category determination

Gurus,
I have question about returnable packing regarding sales order entry and item category determination
1) Sales order : Should we do entry of returnable packing in Sales Order as a regular item
Example : The material M1 - 100unites needs returnable packing materials PK1 5 unites.
Therefore in sales order it should be entered as below
M1 - 100unites
PK1 - 5unites
Please commnet.
2) Item category determination should be done at sales document level
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (???) = TAL
Please commnet.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi
Yes Ashish you need to enter the returnable as a separate item in the sales order
For qn no 2 the item categories of higher levelitems can be TAN and TAX
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (blank) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAN) =TAL
Sales document type + Item category group (LEIH) + Usage (PACK) + Higher lever item Cat (TAX)=TAL
Note returnable packing items are creates as a separate materials with material type as LEIH and item category group as LEIH
How to bring back the returnable packaging stocks to your plant
Creating a Returnable Packaging Pick-Up
Create a sales order using order type LA /AT.
Enter the required data on the customer, the returnable packaging, and the plant to which the materials are to be returned.
Enter all other relevant data and save the order.
Create a returns delivery for the sales order when the materials reach your company.
The system proposes delivery type LR automatically. The transaction is completed by the goods receipt posting which initiates a transfer posting from the customer's special stock to your plant stock.
