Question to be clarified on 'Bill On Hold' concept in SAP

[chandramouli_pothuri]

Hi,

I need suggestions on a scenario in SAP.

Sales order was created for xyz material.

Delivery created and PGIed for xyz material.

Invoice created for the above delivery document.

Now, the material is physically rests at seller's location only.

How can we show such material's inventory with zero value in seller's inventory books as buyers inventory stock?

Thanks

Chandra

We had a similar issue. I'll tell you how we solved it, but I don't think the solution was ideal. But perhaps it will give you some thoughts as well.

We invoiced the customer for the quantity manufactured under the original sales order. We then physically moved the inventory to a seperate warehouse for storage. Since the inventory no longer existed in the system after the original invoice was posted and the delivery was PGI'd. we used a 501 movement to put the inventory back on the books in the storage warehouse. We also did not want the inventory to be valued and since we had a unique plant to store the material in, we made the material type non-valued in that plant (field VT134M-WERTU). Later, when the customer wanted delivery we created a free-of charge order for the material and shipped the product to the customer.

If you think of a better way of doing this, please let me know.

thanks,

Hi,

The process is kore or less same as consignment sale.wherein consignment fillup will transfer inventoey to customer account ,no pricing happens this time as actual sale will be booked when customer consumes material.

Also I,m not able to unserstand two things:

1. Why you want to keep inevntory value as zero at customers location.

2.When you are booking yr sales transaction i.e. realization.

Hopefully you need to ealborate the scenrio to forum to get right answer.
