Container tracking functionality in SAP MM (Returnable Packaging )

435 Views

Hi Experts,

I'm trying to find/understand the SAP process for tracking containers which are required for vendors to load their materials they send us.

The scenario is we have a 3rd party vendor which manages the containers (like a central pool)... they send containers to vendors which need them, suppliers can send empty or cracked containers back to the 3rd party, our plants send containers to the third party etc...

We would like to be able to see where these containers are located at all time... we dont care about the value of these containers, but rather tracking them, know their locations etc... I understand there is a section under MM called "returnable packaging proces" but I am unclear if this process could be used for us.

Does any know of a standard process which could accomplish this? I would assume container tracking is a pretty standard process, so there has to be some configuration guide/documentation on how to accomplish this.

Thanks!
