SD Consignment Sales Process

Created by Former Member, last modified by Anonymous on Nov 07, 2011

Consignment Sales Process in SAP

The consignment process in SAP standard consist of four small processes:

Consignment fill up (send materials to customer consignment).

Here you have a consignment fill up order and a consignment fill up delivery.

Consignment issue (issue materials from customer consignment to the customer)

Here you have a consignment issue order, consignment issue delivery and a consignment issue invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal OR flow, but the materials are issued from the consignment
stock instead of plant stock unrestricted).

Consignment return (return materials from customer ownership to customer consignment)

Here you have a consignment return order, consignment return delivery and a consignment return invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal RE flow, but the materials are returned to the consignment
stock instead of plant stock returns).

Consignment pickup (pickup consignment stock and move it to plant stock)

Here you have a consignment pickup order and a consignment pickup delivery.

Note that in consignment fill up and consignment pickup there are no invoices since there is no change of ownership for the materials.

How to perform a consignment order

In consignment orders you are allowing the stock to sit in your customer location. Once he informs that he used the stock you will invoice him. If he returns the stock you will accept the stock to take it
back.

It is defined in 4 steps.

1. Consignment fill up:

Sales document type is KB

Item category KBN

Schedule line category E1

In this step, you are not invoicing the customer. Document flow is sales order ---- delivery item category. It will not be relevant for billing and pricing because you are not charging money for these goods in
this step.

In schedule line category, you will set movement type 631 and set for availability check and TOR.

2. Consignment Issue.

Once the customer informed you that he used all the goods or partial goods then you will create consignment issue for used goods.

Sales document: KE

Item category: KEN

Schedule line category: C0 or C1

Here you are invoicing the customer (because he used the goods). you are assigning the delivery document and billing document to the sales document.

In item category, you are setting relevant for billing, pricing, special stock.

In schedule line category, your setting is 633movement type, relevant for availability check and TOR.

3. Consignment Return:

Customer found that some goods are damaged or he not able to sold the goods he want to send it back. That you are creating this document

Sales document type: KR

Item category: KRN

Schedule line category: D0

You will assign delivery document and billing to sales document. You will create return order, return delivery, return billing.

You're setting item category relevant for billing, returns, and pricing, special stock.
Your setting schedule line item category: 634 movement type, NO availability NO TOR.

4. Consignment Pick up:

Even if you create the consignment return the goods are not come to direct to your plant. For that you need to create consignment pick up. Here the owner ship is not changing so you do not need to
create billing.

Assign return delivery to sales document type

Sales document: KA

Item category: KAN

Schedule line category: F0 and F1

Your setting item category relevant for returns, any schedule line category relevant for 632-movement type, MRP, availability check, delivery.

Now you check your plant stock. Stock will increase.

Thank you for sharing this. We are facing some issue in this. We are using KB order type and we would like to put CLSD status on these sales order line items. Can we put CLSD status on
these orders?
