Cannot post goods issue for consigned goods

[former_member343107]

Hi All,

I created a reservation for consignmed goods and then tried to create a goods issue with reference to that reservation. But I failed to post the goods issue. System indicates "There is no item category assigned to account xxxxxx/XXX". Anybody have idea?

Best Regards

Process Flow

Consignment Fill-up:

Consignment fill-up order: The company owned stock at customer site has to be replenished. An order can be triggered by a customer's call or report or even without any customer initiative.

Outbound delivery: A delivery is created in order to transfer the goods to the consignment stock. Within the delivery, the physical quantity is picked.

GI consignment: After the goods have been picked, the delivery is posted for goods issue.

Stock Overview: The goods are now in the customer's consignment stock. The stock overview will reflect the transfer of products.

Consignment Issue:

Consignment issue order: The articles and quantities sold by the customer are entered.

Outbound delivery: An outbound delivery is created to reflect the material movement out of the companies stock.

No physical picking is carried out, but the batches sold by the customer must be specified.

Goods issue: When the goods issue is created, the transfer from the consignment stock is carried out. This means that the articles are no longer in the property of the company.

Invoice: Once the goods issue has been posted, the delivery can be invoiced. Appropriate accounting and controlling documents are generated.

Consignment pick-up order: The consignment pick-up triggers the return of goods from the customer's custody.

Goods movement (GR consignment return):

Thanks Rajesh. Our scenario is in MM instead of SD. The goods is properties of the vendor and put on our side. It seems that the configuration of FI module doesn't work well. Any idea?
