Hi Ambarish,

You can do the consignment process directly to the customer with out an agent.

Here you mentioned that you need consignment agent between customer and company, so fallow this

Please add Farwarding agent partner function in your partner determination procedure.

Create master data for that forwarding agent in XK01 transaction.

Assign that forwarding agent to the customer in the customer master sales area data partner function tab.

Now you can do the consignment process to those customers who are having forwading agent.

I hope it will help you,

Regards,

Murali.

many many thnx for your reply, but dist/stockist or final cutomers get stocks i.e. product from consigemnt agent.

now how i can assign those customers (stockist) with my consignment agent because here i am maintaining my consigemnt agent as a customer with forwarding agent partner function.

so again i need to include consignment agent(becoz it is customer master data here) as a partner function into customer master data for all stockist i.e. my final customer.

what will be the solution here.

simply i want to map whole consignment sales cycle thus my client can run four steps of consigbment cycle successfully

fiil up, issue,return & pick up

first fill up i.e. from company to cosignment agent, i am sending goods to consignment agent, here it is customer with special partner function.

Dear ambarish

As per standard, for consignment fillup process, you need to create fillup order with end customer as sold to party and your stockist / warehouse agent as ship to party. While despatching the goods to stockist, you will generate fillup delivery [via movement type 631] where no material / accounting document will be generated. Once you do fillup delivery, the stock from Unrestricted will be moved to "Customer Consignment" in MMBE.

As and when, the end customer pulls out the goods, I am sure, with some document reference, the stockist will be despatching the goods. So you need to capture this reference in issue order and create a issue delivery [via movement type 633] and then commercial invoice. Only when you do issue delivery, your inventory gets reduced. This is how the fillup and issue process goes.

thanks
