Packaging Returns

[reazuddin_md]

HI,

My client,

Packing their Finished good in "Bins"- which has to be returned by the customer.

Here i create packing material with VERP- & at the time of dispatch will add finished goods into this packing material.

Once its reached to customer these bins has to return to the plant/client or else this would be chargeble.

How to achieve this?

Shall i use "Consignment process"- but i cant use this bcoz am selling finished goods to the customer- but only packing materials will be there at customer location until it returns ,still the property of company only

need ur inputs

Dear SAP consultant,

You create material with material type VERP

You create packing material with item category group LEIH -Returnable packaging

Maintain stock for the returnable packaging material in your plant

Your requirement will get full filled.

You can monitor you Bins stock through special stock indicator V- Ret. pkg w. customer through MMBE transaction.

Hi

U can go with Returnable Packaging material.

Create the packaging materials as returnable item with their relevant item category determination.

The packaging material appears only at delivery level and it will not be billed.

If the packaging materials are not returned it will be issued.

Plz go thru this

Hi

Packing can be done in 2 ways 1) Manually as u did it by selecting in delivery and 2) Automatically

Automatic packaging instructions have to be written in pop1and pof1 with standard SHIP condition record determination has to be given.

Make sure of the following settings.

1. Go to *SPRO-

2.Logistics Execution-

3.Packing-Define packaging material types-

4.Select ur packaging material type-

5.In Plant Determination -Enter Plant proposed from the packaging material*.

&

there are two logics regarding generation of delivery items for packaging materials. You can check those two cases in note 831204.

case I)

=====

1) you should check transaction 0184 if a delivery item category is defined for the combination of your

*delivery type +

*item category group that is defined in the material master of the packaging material (should be 'VERP' in standard) -> in case of outbound deliveries it is defined under 'Sales' view of material master, -> in case of inbound deliveries the data in field 'General Item Category Group' is relevant under 'Basic data 1' view of material master) +

*the item usage 'PACK'

AND

2) you should check your settings for the plant determination of the packaging material in tr. vhar -> this should be 'A' or 'B'

====================

OR

case II)

======

1) same as in case I)

AND

2) check tr. 0vlk if 'Gen. pack.matl item' is flagged for your delivery type

AND

3) check your settings for generating delivery items for the packaging material in tr. vhar -> this should be 'A' or 'B'

Hi

You can think about the concept of Retunable Packaging. The Bins delivered to the customer will be maintained as a special stock(as in the case of consignment) and they are billed only if not returned by the customer.

Thanks,
