Recently I post the same query-

N replies are very much helpful from all who responds to my thread.

Thanks to all of them.

For me,it is working fine now- w/o any issues.

Follow as below:

Configuration:

IMG-LE-Packing

1- Packing Control by item cat

2- Define Packing material type (Plant det'n - "B")

3- Define Material group for Packing Materials.

4- Define Allowed Packaging Materials

Master Data:

1- Create Material Master data ( Mat Type:LEIH) ,

In Sales General Plant data- tab/ Packaging Material data

Maintain ,

Material Group packing materials u2013

Packaging Material type-

Allowed packing weight or Volume

& Save

2- Create Material Master ( Mat Type:FERT)

In Sales General Plant data- tab/ Packaging Material data

Maintain ,

Material Group packing materials u2013

Process:

Create SO-

Create Delivery (wrt SO)

- Edit u2013 Pack

Enter the Packing material in u201Call existing HUu2019s or available for packing u201C u2013 upper section in the screen.

Now, select line item ( from u201CPacked Materialu201D section or lower section of the screen, or the material which has to be packed in)

Select the u201Cboxu201D- Pack

Now FERT will be packed into LEIH. Press u2013 F3,

You will observe that , packing material will be displayed as subitem/ 2nd line item.

Do the picking & PGI.

While Invoice creation, Packing material will not be copied into invoice,hence not billable as the stock is moving to customer site,s till the property of the Company.

Observe the stock overview-MMBE

FERT will be reduced from the main stock & LEIH will be still available, but in Ret packing stock.

When receiving this ret packing stock:

Create Ret.Packagin Pickup- VA01

Order type: - AT

Item cat group u2013 LEIH

Item cat u2013 LAN

Sch.line cat- F3.

Mov type u2013 622

Save the document & follow the same procedure with Returns Delivery u2013LR

& do PGR

Check stock overview-

Ret.Packing stock will be transferred from Ret.Packing stock to Unrestricted stock.

No billing will be issued to the customer, as stock will be coming back to the plant.

Hi..

When you sell goods to a customer, you may send the goods in returnable packaging. During sales order processing, you simply enter the returnable packaging as an item in your order. You can process returnable packaging either as main items or as sub-items. For example, if you sell drinks in bottles and want the empty bottles to be returned, you can enter the bottles as sub-items for the drinks in the sales order. The item category group LEIH must be assigned to the bottles in the material master record so that they are processed as returnable packaging. During processing, the system recognizes that it is dealing with returnable packaging because the item category group LEIH is assigned to the material. The system then determines another item category in the sales order to allow the material to be processed as returnable packaging. As a result of entering returnable packaging in a sales order, 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.

Returnable Packaging Pick-Up

If the customer returns the returnable packaging to you, you record the transaction in the system by creating a returnable packaging pick-up order (order type LA). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:

When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from the customeru2019s 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 customeru2019s premises.

This transaction is not relevant for billing.

Returnable Packaging Issue

In the following situations, you can create a returnable packaging issue order (order type LN😞

The customer decides to keep the returnable packaging

The customer damages the returnable packaging and you decide to charge the customer

The customer sells the returnable packaging to a third party

As a result of processing a returnable packaging issue, the system carries out the following actions:

When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from both the customeru2019s special stock and your own total valuated stock.

The transaction is relevant for billing since the goods have become the property of the customer.

Sales Order Types

The following table provides an overview of the order types used in the standard system for processing returnable packaging:

Transaction

Sales order type

Returnable packaging pick-up

LA

Returnable packaging issue

LN

When you ship returnable packaging to the customer, you do not need to use a special order type. The transaction is a normal business transaction and you can use either a standard sales order or, if appropriate, a free of charge delivery.

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 LN and LA check against returnable packaging for the relevant customer. Requirement records for returnable packaging stock are stored as individual requirements, independently of the setting in the material master record.
