3rd Party Consignment Process - Schedule Line Not Confirmed

[Former Member]

Below is the process that is being followed in the system:

1) Consignment Fill Up is created with materials having Item Category as "Consignment 3rd Party ".

2) A Purchase Requisition is automatically created as soon as the Order is saved.

3) A Batch Job runs periodically that removes the check "X" in the field "Account Assignment Category " from the Purchase Requisition.

4) After the X is removed from PR, another Batch Job runs that creates the Purchase Order from Purchase Requisition.

5) After PO creation, Delivery is created from Consignment Fill Up Sales Order. (Vendor directly delivers the material to Customer and the PGI of    delivery moves the Stock into Consignee's account)

Issue that happened in the System:

1) A Consignment Fill Up was created with 2 materials having item category as "Consignment 3rd Party "

2) A Purchase Requisition was automatically created.

3) "X" was removed from "Account assignment category" field in PR by the Batch Job. Removal of this "X" breaks the link between the Fill Up Order and Purchase Requisition.

4) After this, Purchase Orders were created for both the materials.

5) Now, in the Consignment Fill Up, Sales Unit was changed from KG to LB for line item 10. This caused the Schedule Line for line item 10 to change its status from "Confirmed" to "Not Confirmed" and Confirmed Quantity = 0.

6) Now, when the delivery was created for the Fill Up Order, only Line Item 20 was delivered.

7) The main issue here is - How to create the Delivery for line item 10 from Fill Up OR How to confirm the Schedule Line for line item 10 ??

Is there any way out by which the line Item 10 can be seen in VL10H or VL01N ?

Note: We cannot change any configuration as we only have display access for the configuration.

One solution could be - To reject the Line Item 10 in the Fill Up Order and then creating a fresh Fill Up Order for the same material and same quantity and then, deliver it. This would also move the Material Stock into Consignee's Account.

But, if there is any workaround available by which we can deliver the Line item 10 without rejecting it, please let me know.

Thanks n advance for your suggestions.

Hello,

the proposed solution seems correct to me: check if when creating the new item, you have the option to choose an alternative item category not creating a Purchase request but getting material from available stock.

If you simply create a new item, its account assignment category will expect to get the material to be delivered from special stock E assigned to that item.

Anyway if this doesn't work you don't have many alternatives: why don't you ask to the SAP support team or to the IT to solve this issue?

Best regards,

Andrea

Thanks for the reply Andrea.

If I ask this to SAP Support, they are just going to reply that we dont support 3rd Party Consignment Process because it a customized process that is being followed here.

I think we are left only one choice now as explained above.
