Dear Anand
A special stock partner has been defined for processing consignment stock by means of a third party rather than the customer. This means that all special stock for a particular customer is managed under one partner. It makes sense to use the special stock partner if the customer is using decentralized order processing but manages consignment stock centrally.
If you want to process your consignment goods using a special stock partner, you need to:
- Create a customer master record for the special stock partner (account groups 0001 and DEBI are defined for this purpose in the standard version of R/3)
- 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.
