consignment
does anyone know how to make this happen?
I have Consignment Material and created the Consignment Info-Rec for this. Entered the price.
when I create the PO, I enter this material and K in the Item Cat field. The price is 0 (this is standard SAP behavior since this is Consignment Item). But I would like/force the system to pull out the price from Info-Record. Do you know how???
Thanks,
Believe you have encountered standard functionality. You probably also noticed that when you enter Item Category K=Consignment on the PO line item, not only is the price 0, but it is also grayed out. This is by design since SAP pulls the price to pay the vendor from the Consignment Info Record price in effect at the time material is goods issued out of vendor consignment--not from the PO line item like it does for most other purchasing-related transactions. Hope this helps somewhat.
Hi,
What SAP interpreted consignment POs was purely stock replenishment and since this inventory is still under full ownership of the vendor, SAP will not take it into consideration as far as cost allocation is concerned. As the result, price in the PO will not be indicated since there is not any payment to be made thereafter with regard to this PO. Of course, it is technically possible for you to go through the vendor's prices via info record report.

Hello,
If your objective is for reporting purposes, then take Ha Trans suggestion. If your objective is to have an indicative price sent to your vendor, then you can try to workaround this "issue" by asking your programmer to amend the sapscript or idoc to retrieve the price from info record plus some remarks like "Indicative Price Only" and stuff. I have clients whose system does not take zero or empty price, hence I did similar stuff. However, your vendor(s) need to be informed that the final "price" might not be the stated PO price as it depends on the info record price at the time of stock transfer.

Hello
Just to clarify. I do not mean that the price in PO with item cat 'K' can be opened. In fact, both Carol and Ha Tran is right and we should not be messing around with standard functionality. What I meant is: although the price is still grey off and no price can be captured, in sending out the info thro EDI (IDOC) or when printing out the info using SAPScript, as long as you are clear, vendor understands and agrees, then you can pretty much retrieve whatever price you want and send it out. The implication, however, is that this price should not have any implication (ironic?), i.e. indicative only.

Dear all,
understand that this is standard SAP behaviour. That's why am asking for help/workaround.
What I would like to do is to have the price apear in the PO (like standard PO) for Consignment Item. In my system, it is works in this way but I can't finger out how the consultant make this happened? Why I need to know because currently, this works for PO only and I would like to extend this to SA as well.
Any clue??? User Exit??? How/where to find this information???
Thanks in advance.
Another thing is when I create the Consignment PO, the Release Strategy also applies. That's mean this PO is block for release like the Standard PO. How they make this happened?
I would need to extend this to Consignment SA as well.
Let me know your "wild" guess...
Hi,
For setting up the Release Strategy for this Consignment PO, then look at the Function Module EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 which includes ZXM06U22.

Hello,
When you say this works for PO only, you mean you can see the price for consignment PO, i.e. item category 'K'? Assuming no change to standard code, there are at least 2 user exits involved. You can start by looking into ZXM06U43 in EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 and ZXM06U41 in EXIT_SAPMM06E_016 within enhancement MM06E005.
Run a search for PSTYP (item cat) for EKPO or I_EKPO, esp for value 'K'. This should be a good start. There are ways to "swap" certain values only for display purposes without MODIFYING the database. In your case, do confirm that PO Price (NETPR) is zero for consignment items despite seeing the price in ME23(N).
Then we'll see.
Cheers
Dear all,
I am sorry if I did not make myself clear but I am going to make it in a simple way first (lets forget about the price first):
In OMGS >Release Indicator, I have the following defined already:
Released Ind Released Chgabil Value Change % Description
1 X 6 0.0 Release Doc
B 0.0 Blocked Doc
during Consingment SA creation, the Consingment SA was block. After released, if I go to change this SA (increase the qty) and save it. System will never block this Consignment SA to release.
But I don't have this problem for Consginment PO. Do you know why?
Thanks,
anyone know this?? Please help...
