customer consignment fill-up with goods send directly from vendor

[Former Member]

Hi

During standard SAP customer consignment fill-up, the following are the standard process flow in ECC.

1 – Create a sales order (VA01) with order type KB.

2 – Create Delivery Order ..

3 – Post goods issue.

Question:

1. I am wondering if there is an ability to trigger a purchasing requisition automatically upon which a customer consignment fill-up creation so that the PR can be converted into PO and send it over to a Vendor,  and,
2. The consignment goods are shipped directly into the customer consignment location (this avoids additional freight costs by moving the inventory twice) from the vendor.
   
   Something like the following:
   
   1 – Create a customer consignment
   
   2 – PR created automatically upon which the sales order entry is saved.
   
   3 – PO converts from PR, and send to vendor.
   
   4 – Vender delivers the goods directly to customer location.
   
   5 – A virtual GRN created in SAP by the vendor. At this stage stock is still under the ownership of the vendor.

How to setup above process in SAP that behave like drop ship in fill-up scenario.?

Regards,

Tuff

Hi Tuffy,

As already suggested, this will be a combination of COnsignment and Third party sales process.

You will have to configure and test it

Make changes to your consignment fillup schedule line as suggested by Reddy. Assign order type 'NB' for it.

Do modify the item category KBN to match that of TAS (third party sales without goods receipt)

Materials general item category needs to be checked for proper item category determination( its BANS for third party).

Maintain purchase view and fields.

take care of the billing and pricing relevance of item category as per your requirement.

Also note that consignment fillup keeps material in special stock.

Try out, and let us know

Thanks

The consignment goods are shipped directly into the customer consignment location

Your understanding on Consignment process is incorrect after going through your above comments.   In consignment process, the manufacturer moves their goods to their own warehouse and not customer warehouse.  Hence, as rightly pointed out, you need to consider Third Party sales.
