hi,

There are four main transactions for processing consignment stock in the R/3 System, all of which support separate management of stock:

Creating a Consignment Fill-Up

Creating Consignment Issue

Creating a Consignment Pick-Up

Displaying Consignment Returns

Consignment fill-up

Consignment fill up is used to supplement the customer’s consignment stock.

Goods issue of the appropriate stock is posted from the unrestricted-use stock to consignment stock (special stock). The goods remain in the possession of the vendor.

When you ship consignment stock to the customer, you record the transaction by creating a consignment fill-up order (order type KB). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:

If special stock does not yet exist in your inventory for the customer (or special stock partner), the system creates it when goods issue is posted

The relevant quantity is removed from regular inventory in your plant and is added to the special stock for the customer. The total valuated stock for the plant remains the same.

The transaction is not relevant for pricing since the consignment stock remains the property of your company.

Consignment pick-up

Consignment issue enables the customer to take consignment goods from the special stock for their use or to sell.

Consignment issue involves removing the goods from the special stock and making it the property of the customer.

When the customer removes consignment stock to use or sell, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment issue order (order type KE). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:

When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from both the customer’s special stock and your own total valuated stock.

The transaction is relevant for pricing since the goods now become the property of the customer.

Consignment issue

Any consignment goods stored at the customer’s warehouse that haven’t been used can be reposted to your company’s warehouse with a consignment pick-up.

If the customer returns consignment stock to you, you record the transaction in the system by creating a consignment pick-up order (order type KA). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:

When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is deducted from the customer’s special stock and is added back into your regular stock at the plant where the goods are returned. Your total valuated stock remains the same since the returned stock was regarded as part of your own inventory even while it was at the customer’s premises.

This transaction is not relevant for billing.

Consignment return

Consignment returns are used for when your customer wants to return goods to the consignment stock.

If the customer wishes to claim on consignment goods which have already been issued, you can record this transaction by creating a consignment return order (order type KR). As a result, the system carries out the following actions:

When goods issue is posted, the relevant quantity is added to the customer’s special stock at the plant where the goods are returned

Since the ownership of the goods is passed from the customer back to your company, the transaction is relevant for billing. In this case, the customer receives a credit memo for the returned goods.

Depending on the settings in Customizing for Sales, you can create consignment returns with direct reference to a consignment issue. The consignment issue appears in the document flow for the consignment return. This function is not supported in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System.

When you create consignment returns in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System, the system automatically sets a billing block. To credit a return, you must first approve the request for a credit memo by removing the billing block in the return header. You can control the automatic setting of a billing block in Customizing for Sales.

The following table provides an overview of the order types used in the standard system for processing consignments:

Transaction

Sales order type

Consignment fill-up

KB

Consignment issue

KE

Consignment pick-up

KA

Consignment return

KR

To process consignment returns, proceed as follows:

Create a sales order using sales order type CR. or KR

Enter the required data on the customer and the consignment goods.

Enter all other relevant data and save the order.

Create a returns delivery for the sales order (the system automatically chooses delivery type LR). The goods issue posting cancels the goods issue posting which was carried out when the consignment goods were issued. This posting records the return of the goods to the plant where goods receipt was carried out.

Create a credit memo for the consignment return you created in Step 1.
