Storage location for vendor return

[junaidalam]

Dear Colleagues:

I have a scenario where my customer receive the material in block stock with 103 mvt type. Then if required return it with the mvt type 124. But some times vendor does not come to collect the material for 5-6 months and that material lies in the store with no identity. Now my customer wants to monitor this stock. So is it possible to do GR with 103 and then use non valuated mvt type to get the material in vendor return location. Once vendor comes to collect the material then I will return it with the mvt type 124.

SAP is not really made to track stock that is owned by someone else.

If you receive the material with 105 then it becomes your own inventory and is no more vendors inventory.

Consignment stock is vendors inventory, so you could potentially receive it as consignment and cancel this receipt when the vendor picks it up.

Or you have the option to create a UNBW material, where you can track the goods but have no real link to a vendor (except with batches)

Dear Colleagues:

Thanks for the reply. Can I Do 109 with reference to 103. It is giving me error but I will change that to warning message. Will there be any technical impact. Other wise Can I copy 501 and create a new movement type and then after 124 we will use that movement type and keep the stock with 0 value in the system. The UNBW might not be an option as we will loose the track of the actual material.

Thanks and Regards,

You cannot do 109 with reference to 103.

Possible actions:

105 can do reference with 103 (non-valuated GR blocked stock)

109 can do reference with 107 (Valuated GR blocked stock)

You better receive it using 105 and later on move it to blocked stock to restrict usage. When ever you want you can perform return delivery or Return po and return the stock from Blocked stock.

Once you've done the 103 movement, then you can use only the movement 105 for release the stock and 124 for Vendor return. No other movements in standard supports your requirement.

You've to develop a own strategy for maintaining the return goods specific to vendor after movement type 124.

Example : Placing a tag on the returned goods with material document number. So whenever vendor comes for collecting the returns, it is easy to do the dispatch for the correct quantity.

Dear Rosh:

I need to see that quantity in the system. Tagging might not solve my purpose. I need a movement after 103 that can bring the material in to the vendor rejected material location and then I will do 124 from there. any ideas. Can I copy 103 and create Z03 and then after 103 will do Z03 and then 124. any suggestions.

I don't understand what you want achieve with new movement types that you cannot do with the standard movement types.

if you did a 103 into GR blocked stock, then you can do a 105 to post GR blocked stock to own stock, or a 104 to cancel the 103 movement.
