Consignment sale process using third party.

[Former Member]

Hi Friends

Whether one can do Consignment sale process using third party. That is instead of stock being supplied by the Company a third party supplies the goods directly to the customer but this stock is to be treated a consignment stock.

Is this possible....if yes then how.

hi;

This is very much possible. Well a little ABAP help would be needed of course. But this is how it can work....

1. Initially create a contract with the Vendor and let him build stocks and keep them in consignment. The contract itself will be for consignment. So the PO we create must be for consigned stocks.

2. Once the stocks are created in consigned status we can change the availabilty check to refer to the stock status in the consigned level. So getting a Schedule line will not be an issue.

3. Now, when the delivery is created we can trigger an output where in we can consume the stocks. This output would typically trigger a Call Off PO which will consume the stocks from the consigned status for delivering. This will happen only at the System level. Physical good will always be in the Consignment status at the vendor location. Once the Call Off PO is GR'd the stocks comes in to our account and then the PGI is done. To develop this we nee ABAP's help.

4. So all along the Stock is treated as Consignment stock and only at the time of PGI we take it into our account.

Hope this helps. Do let me know if you need further info.
