Special Stock Partner

Hi Gurus,
What is the purpose of Special Stock Partner in Sales orders related to consignments.

Dear Anand
A special stock partner has been defined for processing consignment stock by means of a third party rather than the customer. This means that all special stock for a particular customer is managed under one partner. It makes sense to use the special stock partner if the customer is using decentralized order processing but manages consignment stock centrally.
If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner, you need to:
- Create a customer master record for the special stock partner (account groups 0001 and DEBI are defined for this purpose in the standard version of R/3)
- 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.

Special stock partner data problem in ERP system during "Post Goods issue"

Hi all,
I have a (probably) customizing issue in an ERP 6.0 EhP4 test system which not occurs in the ERP 6.0 test system. There is a difference but no one could tell me, what causes the problem in this scenario:
I have two customers, C1 and C2. C2 is the special stock partner (SB) of C1.
I've created a Consignment Fill-up order, then a delivery document based on the order and posted it with "Post Goods Issue". During the update process, a function module (SD_PARTNER_UPDATE) receives partner data in an internal table which contains the sold-to, ship-to and special partner data.
When we tried the same process in the ERP 6.0 EhP4 test system then special-partner data did not occur in the parameter table (I've used the same customers and materials). The special stock partner is probably not taken into consideration due to some customizing settings.
My question is what should I change in the customization to run the process the same way as in the ERP 6.0 system? As far as I know there are no new modifications which have effect on this area, and the used test customers and materials are almost the same - there are no noticable differences.
Thanks in advance.

I tried setting that field in the sale order this morning. By defaulting it to "C"; I was able to get warning message for TAE line. I was able to post goods with TAE and TAQ, being different quantities. I need the check to determine if TAE and TAQ delivery quantity are different. Using this fields seems to be line specific. Thanks for the suggestion. I now know what that field does to the delivery.
I rewarded points.
Thanks,

I actually need to create a special stock partner for consignment and add it to the Business Partner master record in partner function. I have done that using XD01/XD02 but never used Tcode BP for creating a special stock partner and adding in partner function of Business partner / customer master. .
I have a BP master (created using tcode BP) which has a separete Bill to and Payer alraedy added to its partner function (also in BP), but when i try to add special stock partner (created as a Sold to) to the master in partner fucntion i dont see partner function SB (for special stock partner). how can i add special stock partner to customer master?
Can you also tell me what is the difference using XDxx or VDxx tcode and BP tocde for creating customer master.
Also can you assign a business partner specifically for Consignment in BP master record somehow (assuming special stock partner not added to partner function of customer master?
Thanks and sorry for being too long.

Copy Special Stock Partner Automatically from Ship-To in Sales Order

Dear SD GUru,
I have an issue here which needs help.
In my partner determination, I have configured SB to be a copied Ship-To which is working now.
So, each Ship-To has its own Special Stock Partner.
In my consignment issue sales order, I do change the defaulted Ship-To to other Ship-To but the old "SB, Special Stock Partner" will still remain in the consignment issue order and will not change according to the new Ship-To automatically.
Any way to make the system to refresh without manual intervention?
Thanks,
Soo

Hi,
If I am not wrong then below is the situation which you are facing:
1. You have a sold-to-party which has multiple ship-to-parties, right or worng ?
2. Every ship-to-party has it's own special stock partner , right or wrong ?
Now, if first two points are right then, you might be getting a pop-up for selecting the special stock and ship-to-party partner function once you put the sold-to-party in your consignment-issue. Now, this is the point where you can select the ship-to-first and then system would automatically determine the special stock partner from the selected ship-to-party record.
Let me know about this if my understanding and the solution is correct or not.

Dear Sachin
May be in partner determination, special stock partner would have been made as mandatory. Try in delivery screen itself, click from top menu bar click on "goto -- header -- partners". There select "Special Stock partner", maintain the vendor code and try to do PGI

Customer special stock

Hi all,
I want to define a customer special stock.
Can you tell me where I can assigned special stock to specific customers for consignment stock process ?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner SB, proceed as follows:
Create a CMD for special stock partner using the same account group as if you were creating a sold to party. (Account groups 0001 & DEBI are defined for this purpose).
Enter the special stock partner in the relevant CMD on the partner screen using the partner function SB.

Unable to Delivery Special Stock Early

Please consider the following scenario:
I am using a material that has a Planned Delivery time of 10 day in MM. When I put this item on a sales order, I am changing the Item Category to TAB so that the schedule line uses an Individual Purchase Order. If the goods on the purchased order generated by the purchase requisition from the sales order line comes in BEFORE the Planned Delivery time, I can not delivery the line unless I choose a future delivery date. I have already verified that the stock is actually in the Special Stock E, but for whatever reason the sales order line will not recognize the stock is available.
How can I change my configuration so that I can delivery the special stock as soon as it is available?
Thanks,
Kent

You can create a Vendor through XK01.Else IMG > MM > Purchasing > Partner Determination .
Here you can define as per the requirements. Make this vendor as Customer as in Sales Order , you have the option for Customer only.
Assign the movement as 631 with the newly defined Schedule Line Category in VOV6 andassign in VOV5.

Transfer consignment stock between special stock partners

Dear Friends,
we have a scenario wherein i have two special stock parnter defined for the consignment stock processing. i want to transfer some material from one stock partner to another stock partner.
can someone help regarding this scenario.

Dear rahul patil
To reduce special stock for a particular sold to party, you can use MB1A / 291W so that it will ask for customer code, where you need to define the sold to party. Similarly to add stock, you can use MB1A / 292W. But b4 doing this, check in development and get concurrence with your FI people also for accounting implications.

Report by month with Valuated stock and special stock by storage location

Dear All,
I need a report similar to MCBE with stock level (including "storage loc/batch Stock" plus "special stock(Q)") by plant and storage location.
I try it with MCBE tcode, but i only get "storage loc/batch Stock" in column named valuated stock. Also I can obtain that information in MB5B tcode, but I cannot get data by storage location, only plant.
Does anyone know how can solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastiá

Hi,
Use MC.9 T.code.
click on "switch drilldown" and select storage location.

BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN not Updating Special stock indicator field

Hi Experts
I am using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to create and then update a Customer Service Order. When am trying to update the Special stock indicator field in the Components Tab(of IW32) through BAPI, its not doing so, and no error is thrown as well.
The required qty and the batch field in the components tab get updated which ensures that the logic am using is the correct one.
Please let me know if anyone has faced such a situation before. Any workaround(some other FM) to update this field is also welcome.
Points guaranteed.
Thanks
Kulpreet Singh.

Hi!
BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN is only updating a field, when you set the update flag also in CHANGE method.
So if you are maintainig the IT_COMPONENT table, you have to put an 'X' into the same field in the IT_COMPONENT_UP table also.
And of course don't forget to commit the modification.

Change component level special stock indicator for Purchase Ord-through CIF

Hai,
my requirement is to change the the spoecial stock indicator at the component level for the PO .
The purchase reqqusition is available in APO system.At the time converiosn to PO, the PO will get created in R/3 through CIF.
When the Purchase Order is getting saved in R/3 then I need to check the component level Special stock indicator(SOBKZ) & I need change its value.
I am currently using the user exit 'EXIT_SAPLCPUR_001' to change the same.in this user exit, I am changing the component level SOBKZ in the table IT_INPUT & I am also setting X in IT_INPUTX table.
But the changes are not reflecting in the newly created PO.It always shows the value 'E' for SOBKZ.
can any one tell me is this the right user exit to change the above value? if yes please expalin me in rdetail on how to change this.
Thanks,
Bhaskar.

Hai Saurabh,
I have tried changing the CP_POSITION-SOBKZ field in the user exit EXIT_SAPLMEPI_006.This one changes the SOBKZ of the item of PO i.e, the change reflects in EKPO table.
What I am looking for is to change the Component level SOBKZ of the ITEM of the PO.The change reflects in RESB-sobkz table.
I think, In the User exit EXIT_SAPLCPUR_001, the field IT_INPUT-SP_STK_IND is meant for this.But this is not working.
Please inform me how the RESB-SOBKZ can be changed?
Thanks,
Bhaskar

T-code for getting consumptions / usage on special stock Q materials?

Hi,
I am facing an issue: special stock Q is not included in all T-codes that I know for getting the consumptions / usage over a period.
--> MC.9, MCBE etc.. are all not showing any results for those kind of materials.
I found the explanation: it's depending on special stock valuation indicator (Blank, A or M), and only A permits to see the consumptions with MCxx T-codes, which is not the one used in the plant I'm currently working in (M)
Since this valuation indicator is a FICO defined parameter, I cannot make it changed to be able to check those materials usage.
Anyone has a tip or know a way to get usage on special stock Q materials?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Sanil Bhandari,
Thanks for trying to help.
Unfortunately MMBE is a snapshot of stock level and reservations by storage location on a single material, and does not display the consumption over a predefined period.
I am still looking for any solution that works with special stock Q materials.
