Hi,

A special stock partner is a partner that is assigned to the customer master record in the sales order. This partner need not be the sold to ,ship to, bill to or even payer. However, this partner may be the partner who actually consumes the materials.

For example, should a large organiztion have a central depot where all consignment stock goes, then the consignment stock is shipped directly to each customers plant in the system as a partner. For both returnable packaging and consignment stock, you can have special stock partners. You must first create a new customer for them using the same account group as if you were creating a sold to party. One must then assign these special stock partners to the relevant sold to parties customer master records. When materials are consumed by the special stock partner, should there by any consignment stock or returnable packaging, the system automatically picks up the special stock partner and records the stock in the system as being stored at their site.

Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

From the point of view of inventory management, consignment stock is managed as special stock in your inventory and is assigned to specific customers. This enables you to keep track of consignment stock by customer.

A special stock partner has been defined for processing consignment stock by means of a third party rather than the customer. This means that all special stock for a particular customer is managed under one partner. It makes sense to use the special stock partner if the customer is using decentralized order processing but manages consignment stock centrally.

If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner, you need to:

Create a customer master record for the special stock partner (account groups 0001 and DEBI are defined for this purpose in the standard version of R/3)

Enter the special stock partner in the relevant customer master record on the partner screen using the partner function SB.

When you create an order for this customer, the system automatically proposes the partner function SB in the document header and the document items. Consignment goods which have been entered in a consignment fill-up are always posted to the stock of the special stock partner when goods issue is carried out.

You can also enter the partner function SB manually in the document header or in the relevant items if a special stock partner is required and is not proposed from the customer master record. If a special stock partner does not exist in the document header, inventory management is carried out using the sold-to party.

Reward points if it helps,
