Consignment return to a different plant

[florianbus]

Hi guys,

I need some help for this special case.

Consignment fill-up was done out of plan 1110 for customer 4711.

Now the consignment return has to be done to a different plant 1120.

SAP doesn't allow this case right now by providing the following error no. "M7185".

Thank you for help to get this solved!

Thank you!

Take the Consigment Returns in 1110 Plant.

Then Tranfer the Stock to 1120 plant with movement type 301 (Plant to Plant one step goods movement type).

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Hello,

got it by myself.

As you know, for consignment fill-up, movement type 631 is used and for return 632.

Now, in movement type 632 you have to pass the initial plant (plant where the consignment fill-up was created) and the receiving plant (plant where you want to post the goods, too). We have realized this in BADI for posting the goods movement in VL02N.

BR,

Florian

As you should be aware when you create a return order referencing the parent billing document, all data would be copied to target document and this includes the plant also, which you cannot change.

What you can do is that you create a separate storage location for returns and take the stock into that storage location in parent plant. From there, you can transfer the stock to a different plant via MB1B with movement type 301.

On the other hand, if you create a return sale order without referencing the parent billing document, then it is possible to receive the rejected stock into a different plant but this is NOT adviceable.
