Can anyone please let me know the related documents or links for the implementation. It will be highly appreciated if there are any other documents you can suggest.
Wating for reply .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Damu,
Thanks for the link.
But I am not looking for SNC , I am purely looking for VMI on supplier side i.e Supplier managed Inventory.
Can any one give me the links to the step by step documentation for implementing VMI on supplier side i.e Supplier managed Inventory.
Regards
Sagar

Hi all~
I'm beginner in SNC.
SNC have SMI scenario. But I think SNC-SMI is same as MM-VMI scenario.
SMI
======================================================
http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/1D59B26B277611D5B359000102ACA9A3.htm
The SMI process is a supplier-driven replenishment and planning process, which is based on min/max stock balance levels, on current demand, in-transits and planned shipments.
======================================================
VMI
======================================================
[http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/459B5C21A96411D3870B0000E820132C.htm|http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/459B5C21A96411D3870B0000E820132C.htm]
With vendor managed inventory scenarios, manufacturers can offer their customers a value added service by performing the replenishment planning task for their business partners.
======================================================
Anyone can help to verify differ or same?
Thank you.
SKY.Hello ,
To add to above two answers,in SNC supply chain is as follows.
SUPPLIER -
> MANUFACTURE -
> CUSTOMER
SNC as an aplication will be installed at Manufatcurer site.
Now if Supplier is managing inventory for manufacturer than it is SMI.In this case supplier will login into SNC ( hosted at Manufatcuring site ) and manage inventory.
If Manufacturer is managing inventory for CUSTOMER than it is VMI.
Basically SMI and VMI are mirror image of each other.
Hope it will help.

(VMI) Vendor Managed Inventory
Dear Gurus,
I'm new to MM. I need your expertise to enlighten me on the VMI process. We have a Supplier and we would like to implement VMI so that the materials are only created with PO and Invoiced at the time the materials are used for Production Consumption.
How do I set this up? What are the prerequisites?
Thanks experts!Hi,
This can be mapped as vendor cosignment. Vendor places stock at your premices. You will do GR for the material, but no accounting docs get created. When the consumption of that material is done through GI or transfer posting from consignment to own throgh 411 K movemet type. The accounting will get trigger. In mrko we will do settle. One thing is there is no invoice. Only settlement periodically in MRKO.
The prerequisites are Material master vendor master PIR )infocategory as consignment, price should maintain), consignment PO(here price will be picked from PIR, NO invoice Tab, item category K), GR and MRKO. For each movemet type special stock indicator as K should be used.Thanking you.

Vendor Management Inventory (VMI)
Hi All,
What is the Components of SCM 5.0? SCM Planning,SCM EXe,SCM Collaboration and SCM Co-ordination(EM,PM)
is right?
SCM is separate server or is it integrated with BI 7.O?
Please explain and if possible please post some links.
Thanks
KNHi,
The SAP help website would provide you adequate information. The licensing cost would vary depending on the components you would need from the mySAP Business suite, which comprises of all the modules you have listed beneath. BI 7.0 can be integrated to SCM 5.0 and can be hosted on the same server depening on the grunt of the box being used.

Vendor Consignment stock or vendor managed stock
Dear All,
My client wants to manage vendor consignment stock.
Vendor will be given a area and vendor will keep the stock in his area. Based on the plan he will supply the stock.
the GR for rawmaterials will be made on the consumption report given by the production person. This activity will happen next day only. i will do the GR only to the quantity consumed.
for example if i consumed 100 qty, i will do GR only for 100 and vendor will issue invoice for 100. But when the vendor issue the stock, he will raise a excise invoice based on which i have to take excise credit. I want to know how to do the same.
secondly, i take credit for 100 qty, but actual consumption is 95 only, how do i reverse the 5 only excise invoice.
regards
rangaNo, it is possible to sell from vendor consignment stock directly and I have done it in ECC 6.0 (not IS-retail).
- Pls refer the note 607604.
- Establish the 'stock determination rule' in MM -> Inventory Management -> Stock Determination.
- You need to assign it to the material (MRP3 view) or assign it to item-ategory.
- DONOT mark the special stock indicator in item-category used in SD (e.g. TAN) with 'K'..I did this mistake and wasted some time. If you do, it will ask you to populate the Vendor field in the Delivery which is not available and you may get stuck up because of that.
This should make it work.
Pls award points if you find this information useful.

Hi Gurus,
Is there a transaction that can show us the inventory by vendor. I mean all the materials that we bought from a vendor in a given time frame for a plant?
Thanks
Anushaif your material is batch managed, then you have the vendor number in the batch record, so you can get a list based on this using the BMBC.
If your material is not batch managed, then you have no chance to get this as a reliable information. then you can just ASSUME that the stock is from vendor xyz based on last PO. If you dont issue the materials using strict FIFO method, then you may have stock that came from several vendors, but is only one cumulated quantity in MMBE. so SAP cannot tell you how much is from which vendor. -
Vendor Management / Tracking the Product or Material
Hi Friends:
Is it possible to follow up on Vendor Management. the case study is as under :
In an organization, the customer has a problem with the product, & the organization offers Customer Service ( which may be mapped in CS Module), in-house repair & on site repair.
There is a case wherein the engineer from the service provider side ( organization) is not able to solve the problem & due to technical or lack of spare part or any other reason, the product / or its part is sent back to VENDOR either fo the Replacement or REPAIR of the product, and the customer does not know where is the product or its part is neither the service engineer s know, And when customer makes a call to enquire about his product, no one in the company has the answer asto where the product is either with the service provider or at the VENDOR site.
So, in order to track the product immediately... where can the same be tracked & which Module of ERP (R/3)? CS Module, MM Module or any other Module ?
Kindly Suggest & advice.
Regards, PradeepHi,
As per your scenario, try these following steps:
1. Create the Service Notification
2. Create the Service Order based on notification
3. Based on analysis, either operation can be done internally (PM01 Control Key) or externally (PM02 Control Key)
4. PR would be generated for the External Operation
5. Components may be issued based on that order for the External Operation
So based on that document flow in notification, you can track the status of the service notification. Even you can define the tasks to be done for the service in the notification, so that, you can track that notification very well.

Stock transports of vendor consigned inventory
Hello. I have a question with regard to doing a stock transport order (from one plant to another) where the inventory is in vendor consigment stock. I have a stock determination rule set on both the materail and item category (NLN) but it appears I also need this set on the movement type 641 but transaction OMJT does not have this movement in the list.
Does anyone know if you can create a stock transport order for vendor consigned stock and do a delivery where by the stock is issued direct from the vendor consigned stock? If so, is there an OSS note that needs applied or how do i get this movement in transaction OMJT.
I am on version 4.0B of SAP.
Thanks. K.1) SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Define Strategies for Stock Determination (I guess this is already maintained, but please check it)
2) SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications > Delivery (please assign the rule to your delivery type)
3) SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications > Inventory Management (for mvt 641)
If you use WM:
SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications > Warehouse Management
Please also assign the stock determination group to the suitable material masters (MARC-EPRIO; MM02 > "Plant data / stor. 2")

Plants inventory at Vendor Location
Hi All,
This is something interesting I came to know from my client. Here is the current business process
There is a vendor who we subcontract work to but all the parts are inventoried at the vendor location even before the contract work begins. Until then, the inventory is owned by the plant and the vendor need to cut a Purchase Order everytime they want to consume
This can be well explained as an opposite scenario for vendor consignment. In vendor consignment scenario, plant stocks material that belongs to vendor and cut a PO when required to consume.
Can someone please explain if you ever faced a scenario(underlined above) and how to deal with it in SAP?
Thanks in Advance,
MGHi Sridhar,
Thanks for replying. I didn't quite understand your answer. May be my question is not clear.
There is only one plant and one vendor. This vendor is setup to do subcontracting work. But, the materials required for performing the work is already stocked at vendor's own site. This stock is owned by the plant not by the vendor.
Once the plant gets a request to make a product from a customer, the materials stored at the vendor location are then sold to vendor (then those materials are owned by vendor and taken off the ledger in the plant).
How can we set this up in SAP?
Thanks,

Vendor Management with Service Industry
Hello!!
I was wondering if you guys could tell me what SAP material types do your companies use for materials/services like warranties, software install, insert (product information/usage instructions/promotion printed, folded and inserted into the package with the product). I'm assuming that any labor costs, travel, etc. related to repair are DIEN. Do you use any other SAP material types for repairs?
I'm trying to figure out what would be the most suitable material types for above items.
Also How's the VEndor management comes in into the Service industry like IT Services.
Thanks in Advance!!!
Rajesh.MHi Rajesh,
As such for services, material type is DIEN, or may be without material number, but using the material groups...but for usage instrcutions/promotion material, material type will be NLAG or UNBW (Non-stock and Non-Valuated respectively).
