Consignment Stock Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We're have several wholesale customers that are maintained via the consignment inventory process in SAP. We will now be drop shipping finished goods directly from a vendor to these consignment customer locations bypassing the KB sales order life cycle. Can a Purchase Order to a vendor i.e. type NB be used to order stock for a consignment customer? Ideally I would like to place PO for finished goods and when I receive the ASN from the vendor simply receive the finished goods directly into the consignment customers inventory via the 101W movement type. I have the feeling that this may require some configuration so any input would be helpfull. My focus right now is on the PO for the consignment stock.

Thanks!

Hi;

I think we need to create a PO with the account assignment category as 'K". This would indicate that the PO is for Consigned stock.

I believe the account assignment K indicates that the finished goods are vendor consignment inventory as opposed to customer consignment inventory. When I create the line items in the PO with K as my assignment K I'm still only indicating a plant and storage location to receive the inventory as opposed to a customer designation. Again I believe this is for vendor consignment. I'm looking to issue a PO for consignment inventory to be shipped to a consignment customer location. Any other help is much appreciated.
