Vendor consingment - non valuated material

[former_member237699]

Hello

We have the following problem

We receive materials from an external source, these are today non valuated (UNBW materials) and basicly they are supplied to to the warehouse by a customer. The customer has a corresponding vendor number so we order x pieces of the material from the vendor, and they arrange for the shipment from the actual vendor.

Until now this has been ok since only one customer has used these materials, and they are used only for this customers products so from the warehouse it has been easy to report the stock to the vendor.

Now more customers want to use the same materials in the same process, the problem is now to separate the stocks that belongs to the different customers.

When the purchase order is created an account assignment is used so there is no innvoice expected for these materials and they should have 0 in value in our stock, but we need to be able to report the stock level for the different customers.

I tried to use consingnment during PO creation but i am not able to get the value to zero, it expects a value during GI.

Any ideas how this can be solved in a practical way?

Your question is not clear , can you be more specific.

Like how the existing process is and how the materials are maintained with non-valuated.

Once you receive the materials what you do.

The materials are maintained as UNBW materials and are used in a CS process, so they are withdrawn from the Warehouse when a CS order needs these materials.

The Warehouse manager runs MRP and sends a PO to the customer/vendor when supplies are needed and does GR for the PO but since the materials are UNBW and the PO is set up so there are no invoice expected for these PO's. When the vendor sometimes asks we can easy report what the Stock is. But now other customers want to use the same material (and supply them in the same way) then we need to be able to separete them in the Warehouse since it is the customer/vendors Stock.

I will not suggest to create customer specific storage locations for which you can store the stock

but this is also a plus point when you run the MRP.

Other would be batch nomenclature with external number range.

Thanks
