Third-party-order in combination with consignment?

[Former Member]

Hello,

we need to handle the process that our vendor has to deliver goods directly to a customer consignment stock? In the SAP OSS I only found a note that this process is not designed yet.

Has anyone a good idea to get an efficient process?

Thanks for help.

Kind regards

Hi Sandra,

Company’s Own Special Stocks

Definition

Stocks belonging to your company that are stored with the vendor or the customer.

In the R/3 System the following types of company’s own special stocks are available:

Stock of material provided to vendor

Consignment stock at customer

Returnable packaging stock at customer

Since these special stocks are not located at your own company, they are managed at plant level and not at storage location level.

Two stock types are possible:

Unrestricted-use stock

Quality inspection stock

All stock types can be inventoried.

Use

Stock of Material Provided to Vendor

These are your company's own stocks that you provide to the vendor (subcontractor) to manufacture a product you have ordered. However, this stock is still your company's property. This stock is available for Materials Planning.

The goods movements for materials provided to vendor are described in Subcontracting .

Consignment Stock at Customer

This is consignment material belonging to your company that is stored with the customer. This stock is not available for materials planning.

In Inventory Management, you can post the following goods movements (with reversal):

Initial entry of stock balances (movement types 561, 563)

Transfer posting from plant to plant in one step (301)

Transfer posting from material to material (309; also refer to Entering Transfer Postings from Material to Material)

Other goods movements are processed using the Sales (SD-SLS) component. See also: Managing Consignment Stocks.

Hope this could be helpful to you.

Hi

I think its possible through third party order processing in consignment.

Here customer will place an order which is consignment fill up -CF,

manually or thru configuration we can change item cat as TAS,by result system will generate Purch req'n

in which MM turns into PO at Vendor, Vendor will put the stock at customer premises,Here vendor sends invoice to the company bcoz the ownership of the stock changed from vendor to company .But the company wont send any invoice to its customer until he consumes the stocked material.

then usually this CI, CR & CP will be done.

*Hope it adds info,
