Intercompany STO with consignment processing

[Former Member]

Has anyone faced this situation? I have a client who would like to use consignment processing for VMI orders but as the goods do not get stored at the sales organzation/plant/company code that owns the order - they need to procure the goods from another company code? This is almost a mixture of the Intercompany sales process and VMI processing in ECC... Thoughts?

Example:

Company, plant A / Customer 999999999 / Part A - Stock "0"

Company, plant B / Part A - Stock "1000 pieces"

Preferred Sequence:

1. Create the VMI fill-up order KB for customer 999999999 (delivering plant is B, but the sales order belongs to sales org "A")

2. Create the delivery for the VMI fill-up order from plant b

3. Post goods issue for delivery from plant b

4. Create an IC billing document IV between company code B and A (for the goods that have shipped to the customer's consignment location for company A)

5. In MMBE see that the goods are consigned to customer 999999999 for plant A and NOT plant B. Currently, it is not treating the delivery as an intercompany order (as it is consignment and still owned by the other organization). The stock shows under consignment at plant B.

We are trying to decrease the steps from standard processing which would be the following:

1. Create the VMI fill-up order KB for customer 999999999 (delivering plant is B, but the sales order belongs to sales org "A")

2. Create the delivery for the VMI fill-up order from plant b

3. Create an IC STO from Company B to Company A

4. Create a delivery to move the goods from B to company A.

5. Create and IC billing document

6. Post GR for the goods when they arrive in company A.

7. PGI the delivery for the delivery from step 2 to move the goods into consignment.

8. In MMBE see that the goods are consigned to customer 999999999 for plant A

Hi Manoj,

Please confirm the following for your set-up

I have configured same consignment process for our client.

the process flow like this

--> Fillup order

-->Fillup delivery

-->STO (Purchase order) (through batch job) ***DID YOU RUN MRP AT THE RECEIVING PLANT TO CREATE THE IC STO? WHAT MASTER DATA SET-UP/CONFIG DID YOU PUT INTO PLACE? FOR CONFIG, I AM ASSUMING THE STANDARD IC STO CONFIG IN THE MM/PURCHASING/IC STO SECTION...

--> replanishment delivery (through batch job)

PGI of rep delivery

--Intercompany invoice if intercompany sales.

-->MIGO****SOUNDS LIKE THIS WAS STILL A TWO STEP PROCESS TO MOVE THE GOODS INTO THE RECEIVING PLANT WITH A GR USING MIGO AND THEN THE FOLLOWING STEP YOU MENTION BELOW TO MOVE THE STOCK TO THE CUSTOMER'S CONSIGNMENT LOCATION. IS THAT CORRECT?

--MB1B with movement type 631 (through batch job)****HOW DID YOU CREATE THE BATCH JOB TO POST THE MOVEMENT? THIS IS USUALLY A TRANSACTION RUN MANUALLY (UNLESS YOU HAVE CREATED AN INTERFACE THAT HAS THE INFORMATION TO POST)...
