Hi All,

First let me say sorry to delay for reply.

I'm explain clearly now.

I'm facing problem in CI only, I have created CI order with ref of Proforma with 8 qty here system confirm only 5 qty even though I have stock in system relevant to this sales order consignee.

and I just see the availability in system, when I'm click on availability button it's takes me to co06 screen and here system is showing some other sales order which has been issued and billed.

I think the available stock in system blocked by issued sales order(completed one),this is really stranger to me how to solve this please help me.

This means ,The availability stock was confirmed by one sales order and for this, sales order also ,you did delivery and billing .

Options : Upload stock in your plant or else cancel Invoice ,reverse PGI,remove Delivery and Sales order .

I hope you are creating consignment issue order for the same for against which material is in consignment stock. You can check this in MMBE by double clicking the material.

If this is for same customer and still system not confirming stock then please check in scope of check screen which combination system is taking into consideration for availability check. It should be

02 Individ.requirements

AW SD order; consignment

For your information in consignment process system checks availability for customer material specific.

Moazzam,

Interesting point! Thank you!

I hope you are creating consignment issue order for the same for against which material is in consignment stock. You can check this in MMBE by double clicking the material.

Won't the customer send / give a "PO" note, with what material, what quantity, date of delivery etc. based on this note, the order entry staff (of the company) creates an order (CI or any other type of sales document type).

Also customer and order entry staff know (or should know) what materials are in the consignment warehouse.

(above are) Comments based on real-time business processes and practices!

Thank you sir. Yes you are right and you have shared a real business scenario. I just wanted the OP to cross check because I dont know he knows this or not.

Thank$

Hope before posting this, you should be aware of consignment process.  It starts from KB > LF > F8> KE > LF > F2.  In each and every stage, you should refer the respective preceding document and I am not sure, whether you follow this standard process.  From your comments, if I understood correctly your issue is in consignment issue, system has not confirmed the stock which should not ideally happen, if you are trying to create Consignment Issue order with reference to F8 proforma

Thank you for your post!

I have some questions, could you please reply to them?

system has not confirmed the stock which should not ideally happen, if you are trying to create Consignment Issue order with reference to F8 proforma

From the perspective of doing activities in SAP, after getting a day's (e.g.) requirement from client, w.r.t. CI process; how would the user enter these orders in SAP?

(creation with ref. to F8?)

How would user know which billing document to consider?

How would user know that a particular billing document (proforma) is already used, as reference document?

During CF, the user can create multiple proforma billing documents (F8), how would "unavailability" of stock be addressed by following your suggestion?

Added: Creating CI order with ref. to F8, could help in not entering manually all the input data.

Getting the pricing etc. information from the proforma in to the CI order. etc.

Would it address the "Unavailability issue"?

To address the "unavailability of stock", SAP has given the availability check field in the schedule line category, in the CI process!

Hi TW,

I have face this issue while reconciling, which standard report can I use for reconciliation of consignee stock.

Ex : I have create Consignment Fill-up to X customer of 20 qty. in the above qty I've billed 10 qty, now remaining 10 qty when I'm trying to issue system is not allowing me create a delivery.

some how system is showing negative stock against of single consignee.

1) How it is possible???

2) System consider consignment stock across all plant while issue ? if yes how system allow negative stock issue?

3) how we can do a correct reconciliation ?

How would user know which billing document to consider?

If user doent know, who else knows the process.  They are suppose to know

How would user know that a particular billing document (proforma) is already used, as reference document?

They can check in document flow

During CF, the user can create multiple proforma billing documents (F8), how would "unavailability" of stock be addressed by following your suggestion?

In one of my earlier projects, we put a control in such a way that user cannot create more than one proforma against a fill-up delivery. Also since the business is exhaustively using this process, we developed a program through which, issue order would be auto generated via a zee tcode, considering certain parameters from the preceding document like status should not be cancelled etc.,

Nageswararao,

Please explain what order (e.g. fill up or issue) is the user trying to create.

The stock that you see (3 units), is located at which Plant / customer consignment warehouse?

[former_member184080]

Hi Nagesh,

As Naren mentioned, please check stock once again in MMBE and see where is the stock. Also, Run MD04 and see the status of the stock.

If the stock is in Consignment location of the same consignee, you should able to deliver it.

Regards, Sai Krishna.

[former_member182378]

Kesari Sai,

Could you please explain your below comment?

If the stock is in Consignment location of the same consignee, you should able to deliver it.

The unavailability of stock can happen during the creation of Goods Issue order too!

Probably, the issue here is not about delivering the goods or not, but it is about allocation of stock to an order.

Hi TW,

Yes, I do agree with you, but, he clearly mentioned that he doesn't have any open orders.

Let me try to explain again,

If he has consignment stock then he should able to do the consignment issue. If he is doing Consignment fill up then he has to first check whether stock is reserved for any orders. Thats why i asked him to check even MD04 as well.

Hope my understanding is correct.

Kesari,

Thank you for your reply!

My point of discussion was that the issue could also be in the allocation of stock to a CI order.

I have checked in IDES and based on the setup, if the schedule line category for CI process is activated for Availability check, then before system allocates stock for a CI order, the availability check shall be done!

Therefore my comment, in the previous post:

The unavailability of stock can happen during the creation of Goods Issue order too!

Please give your comments.

Hi TW,

Yes, You are correct.

Now, We have to ask Nageswara Rao on these settings. Yes, we have one with Avb and without AVb check 🙂

Dear,

Go to MMBE  and check where you can see stock under Consignment and also in MB58.If not ,you should be upload stock thru 631 with Special Stock K in MB1C .

Thanks.

Naren

[former_member182378]

Narendra, Nageswararao,

.If not ,you should be upload stock thru 631 with Special Stock K in MB1C .

In production environment, due "investigation" should be done before just uploading stock.

As stock in SAP should match with the physical stock.
