Consigment Stock issue

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

We have an issue with one material which had been defined with Unit of issue in KG (MARC-AUSME = KG), when the inbound was carried out in LB (MARA-MEINS = LB).

Therefore, if we post a good receipt in KG the consignment stock is added in LB. Then, every single new consumption (movement type 411) is performed by the same amount added to the consignment stock, but in KG, causing a double consumption when it is again converted to LB.

Example:

     Good Receipt - 10 KG

     Consigment Stock added - 22 LB

     Consumption - 22 KG

     Consigment Stock reduction - 44 LB

Now we have a lot of pending storage units because the consignment stock is not enough to create new ones.

We can post a good receipt 501 (without purchase order), but then the physical inventory would be affected by every new consumption.

According with your experience, is there any alternative way to put in place available consignment stock and avoid to impact the inventory?

Thank you & Best Regards

Hi Alejandra,

Might be your issue is due to wrongly assigned unit of measurement.

Could you kindly share the screen shot of MM02/MM03 Material Master Data - Basic Data1 - Additional

Data - Unit of measure (alternative unit of measurement).

Thanks,

Vivek

Why can't you change unit of issue as LB. I hope this will resolve your problem .

maintain alternative units as required for same material.

Issue was identified so late and we have many pending 411 to do and no consigment stock to use. We changed the configuration to KG, but still having the pending 411.

Do you know if there is any way to add consignmet stock without affecting the physical inventary?

What do you call "pending 411"?

How did you change "configuration to KG" ?

and this term is even more off: "add consignmet stock without affecting the physical inventary"

I can't believe that: "Then, every single new consumption (movement type 411) is performed by the same amount added to the consignment stock, but in KG"

Any new consumption is a totally independent movement and not related to an inbound delivery at all, so it only knows the base unit and the entry unit, which is what the user keyed in by overwriting the base unit.

Can you show some evidence? E.g. from the detail of the material document where you see stock keeping unit and unit of entry.
