Safety Stock with consignment stock

Hi,
is there a way to define a safety stock for a customer consignment stock?
Regards,
Florian

Dear Florian
As you would be aware, the said details are being stored in Table MSEG and Field SOBKZ for special stock indicator and for quantity the field is ERFMG.
So applying some user exits, tell your requirement to ABAPer and write a logic. May be you can consider some of the following user exits.
- User exits in the program MV45AFZZ - USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT
- User exits in the program FV45EFZ1 - USEREXIT_CHANGE_SALES_ORDER
thanks

PGI using Stock with Special Stock Indicator "E". (STO)

Hi,
We are in the process of creating Stock Transfer.
While doing PGI the System is displaying the following message:
Only 0 EA of material 1103DGC22LB 08062009 available
When we executed T Code MMBE, we found the Stock exits with Special Stock Indicator "E".
Is it possible to do the PGI using Stock with Special Stock Indicator "E"?
Or what would be best possible to handle this situation.
Please guide.
Regards,
PK

If the stock has special stock indicator E. then you can see this in MMBe as Sales Order stock. If you dispaly the details, then you can see the Sales Order number and item for which the stock is assigned. Unless there is some reason that you want to take this stock from the sales order (for example the sales order is to be rejected), then you shouldn't take this stock as you will be unable to fullfill the sales order. If you want ot borrow the stock, then you could do a transfer as advised by previous person from sales order stock to own stock and after you get replacement stock transfer some back to sales order stock, to fullfill the order. If you are using MTO then you could also create a new production order assigned to the sales order to make the stock in the special stock segment.

Create a transfer order with consignment stock (K)

Dear all,
I need to create a transfer order from transaction ME21N. It is not a normal transfer order but it will be a trasfer order from stock K (consignment).
At the moment I am not able to create it.
The special stock field is not valuable.
Thanks

Matteo

Hi Matteo,
I'm not very familiar with consignment.
When you have consignment stock on your premises, it is owned by your vendor and when you take some pieces from it, you have to pay for these parts.
When you want to move your consignment stock from one plant to another it means that you withdraw material from the consigment stock (physically) and because of this the ownership of the stock changes. Henceforth there's no point in speaking about consignment stock since the stock has become your own stock (physically, due to withdrawal).
That's why I think you should move it first to your own stock (in SAP) and after that you could realize a plant to plant transfer.
This is only my idea , so please ask the others to confirm it, and please feel free to post this thread on the material management forum (SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM)).

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.

MRP ignore unrestricted stock with project stock

We are using Project Stock. When we generate reservations in Project Stock and run MRP, MRP ignors any unrestricted stock in the plant and always creates Purchase Reqs!
Our MRP settings for the Material Master seem correct (zero saftey stock, etc.).
We will want that, when the material is in unrestricted stock, MRP don't creates the Purchase Reqs for the material with reservation in Project stock.
is It possible ??
Thank's for you regards
Serghei

Serghei,
Yes, that is exactly right.
When you create a requirement for project stock, the system will perform a net requirements calculation against project stock. If it finds no project stock, it will create a purreq for project stock.
Now, you have said that your business requirement is that you want MRP to do its work, and to consider unrestricted stock. The only way you can do this is by creating a reservation against unrestricted stock. Project stock is always considered in individual segments, apart from unrestricted. This is a 'feature' of project planning.
It is possible to create a project order, which contains reservations for components, which are valid against unrestricted stock. However, when you create project reservations manually, they will never consider unrestricted.
Exactly what is your business goal in this effort?

Handling monthly collection of stock for consignment stock when 4 parties are involved

Hello Team,
The Business case is:
The whole flow is for the Company (C) who uses Oracle core modules like Inv, PO, OM, etc. External Logistics partner (E) procures product from various Suppliers for the Company (C). The same is being informed to C by E - which is kind of consigned stock (can be fulfilled by PO receipt, where supplier is E - the stock will be in On-hand of C where owning party is E). The stock is now sent to C's one of the shop by E, based on external Order demand, a sales order issue can work which ideally will do transfer to regular of stock. E raises payable invoice to C and C collects receivables amount from end Customer.
The issue in requirement is where the flow goes little differently (banks comes into picture for financing the stock).
1) In many cases, the financing of stock will be done by Banks (B). E raises payable invoice to B (not C) as the stock is financed by Bank- documents maintained outside the system, B pays full money of stock to E and every month C collects EMI from end customer and pays back to B.
2) Other case related to above point- price of a product say AS54888 will be USD 100 which C wants to be sold to Customer under some promotion at say USD 80. E should get actual USD100 from Bank B, C should pay EMI to Bank every month say USD 10 (for 10 months) but it collects for 8 months (USD 10 *8) from Customer - the C takes a loss of USD 20 in this example.
Any clue to meet above requirement in core modules (we do not use Oracle BRM) will be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

Stock with Special Stock indicator E, not allowing to perform 261 Movement Type

Hi Team,
Please provide your expert opinion.
Unintentionally, a component was set with value Blank in Individual/Coll. field in MRP 4 view. The component is WM managed, when order was released, Transfer Request was generated & the part list was updated with Account Assignment M for that component. It was showing reference of sales order created for the header material.
After TR was converted to TO, TO was also processed. Now the stock is lying in WM under Special Indicator E, due to which we are not able to perform 261 movement for this component, it throws error
Sales order stock XXXXXX 000010 does not exist
This Sales order is already processed & completed.
We are in deadlock, since process order cannot be closed.
Please suggest how to consume this component against the order or bring back the stock to normal
Regards
ND

Your order for which you want do a 261 movement has information that this material is in sales order xxxxxxx item 000010
now it is essential to know in the very detail what was done in sequence.
As you usually need to clear the situation in the reverse sequence.
Not just movements, as well master data changes.
If we understand the full situation, then it might even be possible to do a short cut.
But it is currently not really known if you have an inconsistency between IM and WM, or just missed some postings in WM (which has not really something to do with the error you have)
We do not know how the to be situation should be
And for the as-is we have only knowledge about the error message, but no details to previous movements which lead to this situation.
And we have no info about the current book stocks to make a clear suggestion.
Some situation require detailed analysis, a proposal made just out of the blue can cause an even more difficult situation and a longer way to clean it up.

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.

Consignment Stock for Inventory Management

Posting as a new thread...
I have installed and loaded the Inventory Management Cube 0IC_03 in our development and quality systems. During testing we have found just one problem with Consignment Stock. The Stock Initialization (2LIS_03_BX) does not bring in an initial quantity (BWMNG) for any material flagged as a Consignment Stock (Stock Category = K, field BSTTYP).
My question - is there a good reason for this or is this a problem? It causes a problem with reporting, because balances are now off. Do I need to change how reporting is done for Consignment?
It seems to me that the BX extractor should be picking up the initial balance. I am trying to debug the code, but am getting a headache!
Any help would be appreciated!
Yes, I have reviewed the "How To..." documentation, but don't see anything regarding consignment stock.
We are at BW 3.0b Support Pack 25.
Lisa.

Thanks, Ken. I don't know that this note actually helped me, but I did another review of OSS notes. We have applied 3 of them (726485, 756151, 762219) and our consignment issue has been resolved.
Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction!

Consignment Stock

Hi,
We have a scenario with our client with Consignment Stock. All the materials are non-valuated materials. For the same materials, some of them are procured externally and for some the vendor stocks the material at the client's premises and he is payed as per consumption. Can anyone suggest on how to handle this.
Thanks
Hari

Hari,
I don't think this is going to be as simple as it may appear.
You mentioned that All the materials are non-valuated materials.
I would assume this implies that all your materials belong to a non-valuated material type (UNBW or similar).
And now you want to use the consignment process for your some of these materials.
This is not possible as such because your non-valuated materials require an account-assignment category (such as cost center K - since these are expense items) in your PO for their procurement; the consignment process requires item category K (consignment) in your PO, and SAP does not allow this combination. There is actually a config setting (check the purchasing->account assignment menu) where you can maintain combinations of allowed item categories/account-assignment categories but unfortunately this will also not help (since this has been hard-coded by SAP - basically item category K cannot be used with an account assignment category). In effect, this is violating the basic premise of consignment - consignment stock is vendor's stock which you are storing at your premises - this stock has to be valuated stock - you cannot manage it as non-valuated stock.
So, the only options I can think of is to actually convert all your non-valuated materials into valuated materials. There are multiple options (changing material type, dummy plants, new material masters etc) with this and each one has to be analyzed.
Hope this helps.

Create Transfer Order from TR - Consignment stock

Hi,
I've implemented vendor consignment stock in SAP. However I cannot get it fixed that when an TO is created from an TR that a TO is created for the material which is a part of the consignment stock.
Is it possible to make a TO automatic (with LT04) that also creates a TO with consignment stock as a source bin?
Thanks

Hi,
Below is a screenshot of the Transfer requirement:
Item 1 (1100-0002-0000) is a non-consignment material and item 2 (5800-0001-0001) is a consignment material which is stored on a consignment location.
With Tcode LT04 (Create Transfer Order from TR) it is possible to create a TO for a TR.
After clicking enter, the following screen appears
When I click Generate TO Item the system automatically creates a TO for material 1100-0002-0000. However the system cannot create an TO for material 5800-0001-0001. It gives the following screen. With the notice that the system cannot find the source storage bin.
The goal is that the TO is automatic created (just as for item 1) for this material. Thus the material can also be picked directly.
Hope this clarifies the issue.
Thanks.

ME2O report with special stock assignment (project stock)

Dear Guru's
Im tring to use ME2O report to monitor the stocks of subcontracting. In my business we have special stocks (project stocks).
When I run the report it does not give the subcontracted stocks with project assignment.

Thanks in advance
Rupesh

subcontracting stock is stock type O, project stock is stock type Q
I dont think one stock can have 2 stock types
And ME2O is monitoring stock type O, not Q.

Transfer posting from consigment stock to subcotracting stock

Hi friends,
Is there any way I can do ME2O form consignment stock or transfer consignment stock material to subcontracting stock. Which movement type should I have to use?

Hello Manuel,
As far as I know, in the SAP standard system, there is no such functionality. You can check more details regarding what types of movements and transfers you can do with consignment stock at the online help in the following link:
