Vendor Consignment
SAP COMMUNITY NETWORK SDN - sdn.sap.com | BPX - bpx.sap.com | BOC - boc.sap.com | UAC - uac.sap.com
In consignment processing, the vendor provides materials and stores them on your premises. The vendor remains the legal owner of the material until you withdraw materials from the consignment stores. Only then does the vendor require payment. The invoice is due at set periods of time, for example, monthly. In addition, you can also arrange with the vendor that you take over ownership of the remaining consignment material after a certain period of time.
Advantages
The use of consignment settlement reduces the cost of stockholding in the company by:
Reducing the flow of paper and administration work
Minimizing transport costs by using collective transports
And, for a modest capital tie-up, increased security of supply is guaranteed with minimal inventory levels and
short lead times.
Process
To manage material in the consignment stores, you need the following master data:
Material master record: When you manage the affected material as your own material, it is not
necessary to create a new material master record for the consignment material. By using the same
material number, the consignment stock can be included in the unrestricted-use stock of a material.
Vendor master record for the vendor of the consignment material.
Purchasing information record of the Consignment infotype.
To request consignment goods from vendors, create a purchase order with a special consignment item. This
consignment item is then posted directly to the consignment stock of the affected vendor during the goods
receipt(GR). It is also possible to post another goods receipt into the consignment stock. The system does
not valuate the consignment stock during the goods receipt.
If material is withdrawn from the consignment stock, for example, for production, the withdrawals are
valuated with the price of the vendor that is defined in the consignment info record. For the settlement of
withdrawals, there is a special report.
Consignment Info Record
Before you can order consignment material at a vendor or post a goods receipt into consignment stock, you
have to maintain the price of the material for the particular vendor in a purchasing info record. The price is
necessary for the valuation and settlement of material withdrawals. If you procure consignment material from
several vendors, you must create a consignment info record for each vendor. The consignment stock is
managed separately for each vendor.
To create the info record, choose, from the Purchasing menu, Master Data→Info Record→ Create. Enter the
vendor, material, plant, and the standard purchasing organization of the plant. As the infotype, choose
Consignment.
