Stock Reduction in Consignment PO upon Goods Receipt in Normal PO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a question to the following scenario:

1. Consignment PO is created with a reference to a contract and (Consignment) Goods Receipt is posted against that PO -> consignment stock gets increased.

2. Normal PO is created (for the same material and the same vendor as in 1), goods are delivered and Goods Receipt is posted against that NB PO.

Upon booking a GR against a Normal Purchase Order a Consignment Stock in Consignment PO needs to be reduced (an enhancement to be programmed). To be able to do that a link between the Consignment PO and Normal PO is needed.

Can a Purchasing Info Record be used as a link???

Thanks and best regards

I don't think you would need a link to build that logic. If I understand correctly, a simple logic would be - when posting a GR receipt from X vendor for Y material in a given plant check the consignment stock of Y material from X vendor and reverse the stock with the quantity same as GR qty. You can use 102K movement type to reverse the consignment stock and no price is involved.

Hi,

Not sure what is the end result you are trying to achieve here by modelling this process, (guess the purpose is already thought over)

technically - the linkage would be Material and vendor code only ( not sure if you can use the Normal and consignment PO numbers in each other under header (your ref or our ref ) fields as well
