Vendor Consignment stock in transit

[Swetha24]

Hi,

I have a specific requirement on vendor consignment process. My client doesn't have the storage in their premises, so they want to introduce the Two step Stock in transit in place of Mov type 411k as FI document need to generate once received at warehouse.

Process         Vendor consignment     Stock intransit             warehouse 

Good issue               10

Stockintransit                                       10

GR at warehouse                                                                   10

How we can manage this in vendor consignment ? 

Looking for better solution.

Regards,

BR

i do have a basic question--if you do not have storage for consignments --and you are not purchasing them as consignments that why is there need to create a PO as consignment and introduce this complexity -- you would be much better situation if you create a regular PO -- then use 107 or 109 goods movements 

I do not believe there is not something known as stock in transit for consignment -but I think what you could do is--configure your 101+K in say that when you perform 101+K--, the system posts 2nd movement 411+K so stock moves from vendor consignment stock to your own stock as soon as you receive it. I have not done this but I think the following ways to meet this requirement

1. Trigger second movement type using output on goods movement that may create an idoc --this may require some BADIs implementation 

2. Create a custom program that runs based -on the frequency you can agree with your customer --to post 411+K

3. Maybe a workflow event that detects 101+K and then performs 411+K ( using Goods movement BAPI)

Dear Jagdeep Thanks for the details given, Yes, There is no space requirement to keep the vendor consignment but still client wants to use it this Vendor consignment. Only requirment for them once 101K is happened they want to show Two Step Procedure for Consignment Process instead of 411 k mov type As the stock will move from vendor which will take 5 to 6 days in transit and Fi document should be triggered while doing GR at warehouse.

Here is another possibility --You can do 103 against the consignment PO which is GR Block Stock --once you are ready to receive then post 105 against the consignment PO--after that, you post can do 411+K.
