Returnable packaging process

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Gone through all the threads regarding the returnable packaging.

we have created a special stock customer which would be assigned to all the customers in partner function.Now when we create delivery the returnable packing material uses mvt type 601 and the inventory is reduced not from the special stock but form normal stock.

When a return order is created without any reference the stocks reduce from the specail stock of the special stock customer.The Item category during return is LAN.

What should be done in order that during delivery the returnable packing material is shown as returns in deilvery and the stocks doesnt reduce.what item category and mvt types should be used.

please suggest the entire process.

Should the stock of returnable packing material reduce from the inventory stock of the company during delivery as like it happens with finished goods?

regards

returnable packaging process:-

@ the time of normal delivery:-

if packing is done at delivery level , then item category :TAL, sch.line cat:E2/E3 with mov type:621

Flow: SO - Delivery ( with packing, packing items displayed as subitem with item cat:TAL)- PGI - Invoice

returnable packing goods-

SO( doc type:LA / Item cat:LAN)- Ret delivery(LR- Mov type:622)

Hello,

Returnable packaging process & automatic packing are diffrent terms.

If u r doing automatic packing then there is no std. solution for this to genrate shedule line & take it return.

You can carry out enhancement for this,which ever be the packaging material for that system additionally genrate schedule line for that material,then you will be able to take it return

Otherwise add manually.

Hi kapil,

Thanks for your reply.

Please suggest what should be done to track the returns packing material.

We are using automatic packing i which when we do the delivery the packing material is taken as a seperate line item and the item category the system picks is HUPM and the system does allow the delivery document to save.

Now is the question as how to take back this return as it should also be tracked with the customers so if its not returned billing can be done for that customers.

The FG stock takes 601 mvt type and also the packing materail takes 601 mvt type as the stock are reduced.

how should mvt type 621/622 or 623 should be picked up while doing the delivery.

Please suggest the steps for the same.

regards

Check in VOV5, item category determination,

Maintain record with Item Cat:TAL , dont use HUPM. These HUPM is used when you sell the packing materials.

Where as here you are not selling Packing materials instead you are issuing these LEIH materials along with FG Material.

SO maintain item cat det'n-

Eg: Or+ LEIH = TAL

Sch.Line Cat det'n:-

eg: TAL + MRP type = E2/E3 ( mov type 621)

when you take back the LEIH materials back to the plant, process the same with doc type:LA- mov type : 622 ( as said in above post)

let me know, if any

Hi reazuddin,

thanks for your reply.

The issue here is that the system is taking HUPM as delivery item category as default from the automatic packing proposal done in sales order.as a result a seperate line item for the packing materail.

ITEM CATEGORY FOPR SALES DOCUMENT MAINTAINED IS

ORTYP LEIH/TAL/TAN

ORTYP LEIH /TAN/TAL/TAN

ORTYP LEIH/TAX/TAL/TAN

Also for delivery type item category maintained is

DELTYP LEIH/TAL

SCHEDULE LINE:

TAL ND/E2

THIS IS THE CURRENT STATUS FOR THE FOLLWING YOU SAID.

AS A result the delivery of the packing material is taking 601 movement type.

please suggest what is wrong.

Dear AJ,

Even in Sales order also- Ret. Packing Material item cat shouldnot be- HUMP,

Please check Item category determination in VOV4 & Item category group should be LEIH. (When you create Ret. packing Material in MM01 with material type:LEIH, by default system picks item cat group as:VERP, change this to LEIH).

from above customization in VOV5,

OR + LEIH + TAN = TAL will be triggered.

now maintain copy controls from OR - LF @ item level , then while creatign delivery system proposes TAL item category in delivery with mov type : 621.

once you perform PGI, stock will be shown as "Customer stock" with customer number.

Try & revert

Hi,

1st of all there is no need to create special stock partner.

Use item category group - LEIH in material master of returnable packaging.

Deteremine item category TAL in sales document(Remove special stock indicator form item category detail,if u speciefied - VOV7)

Deliver this returnable packaging material with standard material.

No here to process will be comes in picture

1. If customer returns the matreial then

Create sales document LA (Item category LAN) >>> Return delivery - LR

2.If customer damage it or want to keep it then

Create sales document LN (Item category LNN) >>> Create order related Invoice - F1

Hi Sapsdcrm,

Please kindly consider that the movement type

determination depend on the schedule line category.

Please review the determination of item categories &

schedule line categories depending on the sales doc.

type & the packaging material item category group.

Please consider the following:

- With finished goods delivery,the returnable pack.

material should be delivered with mvt. type 631.

- then we have two options:

- bill the customer for the returnable pack. material

with consignment issue order type then mvt. type 633

- return the returnable pack. material with a consignment

pick-up order type then mvt. type 632.

Thank you and best regards.
