Hi,

Special Stock Partner

The special stock partner has been defined for carrying out consignment stock processing by means of a third party rather than the customer. This means you can manage all special stock under one partner. It makes sense to use the special stock partner if your customer is using decentralized order processing but manages consignment stock centrally.

Inventory Management Using the Special Stock Partner

If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner, proceed as follows:

Create a customer master record for the special stock partner (account groups 0001 and DEBI are defined for this purpose in the standard system).

Enter the special stock partner in the relevant customer master record on the partner screen using the partner function SB.

When you create an order for this customer, the system automatically proposes the partner function SB in the document header and the document items. Consignment goods which have been entered in a consignment fill-up are always posted to the stock of the special stock partner when goods issue is carried out. You can also enter the partner function SB manually in the document header or in the relevant items if a special stock partner is required and is not proposed from the customer master record. If a special stock partner does not exist in the document header, inventory management is carried out using the sold-to party.
