Customer Owned Inventory - Stored with no value

[Former Member]

I am looking for direction on how to handle this situation.  In Spain, we sell product to a customer.  We invoice and they take title to the product.  However, due to the customer having little storage space, we will store for them until they are ready for it.  The customer owns the inventory, but we need to track the inventory, but with no value since we no longer own it.

Does anyone else have a situation like this and how do you handle in SAP.  Right now I am thinking of creating a secondary non-valuated material number, but think that may cause confusion. 

Any guidence would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using different Storage Locations for when the PGI is done? We have a similar situation over here with vendor stock and consignment stock.

Ex: The material is stored in Unrestricted Stock, and once the PGI on the SO is done, all appropriate documents print out with the Delivery, but instead of the material deducting from Unrestricted Stock, it gets transferred to Vendor Stock or Consignment Stock. This way, it does not show in Unrestricted Stock and is out of your inventory, but there is still traceability for your customer as to what material they have in your WH.

We have our Sales Team set up the SO to have the material transferred upon PGI rather a standard 601 deduction to remove from Unrestricted Stock.

Best of Luck.
