Consignment process - stock movement & account determination

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Our company wants to implement a consignment process. However, we are deviating a bit from the standard SAP process in 2 ways - the consignment stock movement and the consignment settlement.

(1) We would like to transfer the stock ownership to our customer during the consignment process. How do I accomplish this?

Standard/Delivered SAP consignment process simply transfers the stock from "Unrestricted" to "Special Stock" (movement type= 631).

(2) Here are the steps to our consignment design --

(A) We sell the stock to customer (stock is owned by customer),

(B) Invoice the customer,

(C) Customer pays for the order,

(D) We issue credit for unused/pick-up stock.

Question:- How can this be accomplished?

(3) I need help and directions on Account Determination setup behind the above scanario so it settles correctly. I have not done account assignment/costing setup before.

Many thanks for your help.

yes, this will be simply a regular standard order process. To accomodate your scenario, simply create document type in VOV8 then rename it as consignment 😃 then ccreate new OD in OVLK and new BD in VOFA with name consignment.

A regular consignment do not have account determination for sales unless consignment issue.

Hi BD,

In consignment process,

Consignment Fill up: Mvt typ u2013 631 ( Stock will moved by unrestricted to Special Stock W ) It remain the property of company( Mtrl movemnt - manufacturing plant to third party plant)

Consignment Issue: Mvt typ u2013 633 ( stock will Issue by your customer) Now its propert of your customer and you can raise a debit memo on customer wrt Issue Delivery.

Consignment Pick up: Mvt tyo u2013 632 (stock will moved by Special Stock W to Unresticted/Block stock/Revered str loc.) It remains the property of company.( Mtrl movemnt - third party plant to manufacturing plant )

If in your case if you sending your finished material to some other location ( third party location/ customer location) but which is your property unless customer Issue the material. The ownership get transfer once the customer Issue the Material thr consignment issue order. Then you can go through consignment process.

The requirement described by you can be fulfilled with regular sales process and don't need a consignment process. When you transfer the ownership and bill the customer immediately, then it is a regular sales. When the customer returns unused quantities and the customer credited follows regular return process. So why you need a consignment process?

Regarding set up of account determination, you can search the forum with account determination or VKOA settings, then you can find many answers for the same.
