Hi Sateesh

A perfect description of how to use Vendor Consignment stock in SAP, however I do not pay for the parts used, I pay a fixed monthly fee which stays the same if i use 100 units or 1000 units. Hence I cannot use standard consignment process and if you follow my notes in my previous posting I managed to set up a consignment info record @ zero value and hence can now carry consignment stock but there are no financial postings when I use it.

I think a few people will be grateful for your simple description of the standard process.

Subject: Free of charge Vendor Consignment stock

Hi everyone,

My situation is that our business has agreed with the vendor a monthly fixed price for a material no matter how many we use. We supply stock data to vendor weekly and the vendor deliveries stocks as we need, Vendor owns the stocks until such time as we use them. Hence finance is proposing a generic Framework PO for the monthly bill (no GRN match is needed) and I am thinking of Vendor Consignment stock for the Free of Charge weekly receipts from the vendor using 501 K movements (it seems logical as we do not own the stock till its used and then its FOC).

But I cannot find a way to set up vendor consignment info record which allows free of charge deliveries and therefore does not generate any financial movements or postings or invoice liabilities (a 501k movement has a mandatory info record)

Any help is appreciated

Mark
