Consignment stock in an storage location for one customer

[fernando_martin]

We have one procedure for consignment to customers. We create one sales order type KB (consignment fill up), and after receiving the material after creating PO and inbound delivery, we create the outbound delivery and then goods issue to send the material to the customer.

With the current procedure, we are not currently able to distinguish between the consignment for the sale and the consignment for maintenance purpose, as for a few customers, we want to keep the material located in one storage location created for that special customer so it appears in the inventory separated from the general current customer consignment. With the current procedure, once the GI is done, the material goes to customer consignment and does not appear in any storage location.

Do you know how we could create the new procedure?

Thanks and regards.

In consignment process, once you do fillup PGI from KB order type with movement type 631, the stock will be transferred to "Cust.consignment" and there will not be any separate storage location. Of course, you can check how much stock is available customer wise via mb58

If you want to monitor with a separate storage location, then you need to follow MM route where you can trasnfer from storage location to storage location.

Hello,

if we want to retrieve the material from customer consignment to unrestricted or blocked stock with MB1B and assign it to a determinate storage location which is the process to follow?

I am trying with movement type 411-K, but I get the error "Deficit of VC Unrestricted-use". Looking at MMBE the material is in consignment stock, so I do not understand why this is happening.

Thanks.

Either you can create a consignment pick up and a return delivery or reverse the original delivery so that the stock would be increased in the parent plant.
