Regarding how to manage multiple consignment fillup plants at time of consignment issue/pull

231 Views Last edit Apr 20, 2018 at 05:41 AM 2 rev

This is the example:

Part A from plant PN01 ships to customers consignment location 10 units on fillup order/delivery/PGI - consignment inventory batch is created and is under PN01 for this soldto.

Later in day, Part A from plant US01 ships to customerss consignment location 10 units on fillup order/delivery/PGI - consignment inventory batch is created and is under US01 this soldto.

At this point if I look in MMBE, I will see 10 units under PN01 and 10 units under US01 for a TOTAL consignment at customer consignment location of 20 units.

A week later they send an EDI consignment issue/pull message for parts A 20 units ... If I try creating a consignment issue order with line item 10 for 20 units and plant US01, it will not find 20 units .. If I set the plant to PN01, it will not find the 20 units.

Note: PU01 and US01 are associated to the same company code.

What is the accepted approach to deal with this without user intervention ? WHen the EDI pull message comes in, I shoudl be able to create a consignment issue order with 1 line item for 10 units ... should I not ? What do very large companies do that have 10+ plants shiping the same part to consignment locations ??

Any help/direction appreciated .
