Customer consignment process S/4HANA 2020

In Consignment Process the products are stored at the customer location, but the owner of this product is still company. Customer stores the consignment stock at their own warehouse. Customer can consume product from warehouse at any time and customer billed for product for quantity consumes.

 

Here is the process flow:

 

n Customer Consignment Process, there are four main steps within the SAP System, all of which support separate management of stock:

1.Consignment Fill-Up (Stock Fill up at warehouse)

2.Consignment Issue (Stock issue from warehouse)

3.Consignment Return (Stock return from customer)

4.Consignment Pickup (Stock return to manufacture)

 

For every part of the process, the steps are always these:

1.Create Consignment fill up using VA01

2.Confirm quantity delivered VA02

3.Outbound Delivery using VL01N

4.Perform picking, packing and Goods issue using VL02N

 

Issued invoice (VF01) is created only for Consignment issue.

 

A summary for all the steps is as follows:

Sales Process Sales Document Type Item Category Movement Type Accounting Document
Consignment Fill Up KB KBN 631 No
Consignment Issue KE KEN 633 Yes
Consignment Return KR KRN 634 Yes
Consignment Pick Up KA KAN 632 No

      No no, that is the point: The standard SAP tcodes and processes cover all these steps.

      Hello Isabel,

      Thanks for this. Happy New Year btw.

      In the slides as well as in the graphic you provided above, the Consignor / Consignee relation is inverted. The goods flow from the Consignor (i.e., the company running SAP) to the Consignee, namely the Customer who acts keeps the goods in his own premises / workhouse etc. Should you care to swap the Consignee / Consignor along with their description at the top, this blog will reach perfection!

      Regards

      Agamemnon

      Hello Isabel,

      For the scenario sap Consignment Returns KR process, could you precise if you make the customer billing document in reference of the consignement order return (KR) or in reference of the delivery ?

      In my system, I used the standard keys (i.e. order KR and delivery LR and invoice RE) and I was surprised to see that I was not able to create the customer invoice in reference of the delivery ; system requires the sales order !

      Some more details about my flow : we are in an inter-company process and we also create an internal credit note.

      Thank you !

      Vincent
