Consignment stock handling

[former_member581857]

Dear Experts,

Our customer only want to monitor the consignment stock (Vendor) in SAP. Actual Consignment stock withdrawal or direct goods issuance or sales will be done in third party system and the relevant account entries will be created in third party system itself and it's not integrated with SAP.

Is there is any special movement available to reduce the consignment stock from SAP with out any accounting entries ? I know that we can reduce the consignment stock without any accounting entries using movement type 102+K, 502+K or we can create the custom movement with the copy of 101+K, 502+K. But I want to make sure that is there is any impact or will it be a problem in audit ?

Kindly advise.

Hi,

You can use the direct consumption option using 201K in MB1B and consume the stock (against cost center) from SAP and then proceed with consignment settlement.

The ideal option will be to integrate both systems and consume the goods from SAP as well immediately after GI in the third party system. 🙂

Prasoon

Dear PRASOON,

Yes, I aggree that the ideal option will be to integrate both systems and consume the goods from SAP as well immediately after GI in the third party system. But what just want to understand what is consequences if we reduce the stock level in SAP using custom movement type(for example, Z02+K) as a copy of 102+K.

Hi,

If its 102K or a copy of it, you are just cancelling the GRN which was done with 101K. In this case, you can not proceed with consignment settlement in SAP and the PO will still remain open for GRN. Also, you wont be having track of actual consumption of the item in SAP.

Hi Satheesh,

I would suggest you rather than going to consignment process, you can change the consignment process in to consumable PO process using cost centre K
Create PO using the account assignment K and uncheck the GR based invoice in vendor master.

HI Simar, Thanks for your reply.

Actually the expectation to monitor the consignment stock in SAP.

Hi Satheesh,

Prasoon is correct, if you are cancel the GR document, you cannot perform consignment settlement

Try to check with item categories configuration

Before modifying please be cautious about the existing transaction.

Hi Sateesh,

I am little confuse with your process so I am writing the steps below and try to understand the situation -

1. You are creating PO with consignment in SAP system.
2. You are using a third party software for consuming the consignment materials .
3. You are processing the payment with the third party software.

So I am confuse if you are doing end to end activity in third party software why you are using SAP just for creation of PO, and when you consumed your material within the third party software why you wanted to PGI in SAP which is not even have any impact in your Accounting, because accounting only gets impacted when you post PGI or transferred the stock in own stock!

Please do let me know if there is something else you are trying to do or I am taking something wrong!

Thanks.

Dear Ankur, Thanks for your reply

As I said, expectation to monitor the stock through SAP and use the advantages of reporting in terms of purchasing and stock level checking.

Okay, so if you wanted to monitor the stock report you can cancel the material documents which you have created while posting the GR or you can also go for scrapping to remove the stock!

Thanks,
