Hi,

Here is another view on RTP.

RTP-Release To Production

It is the process of moving the Customisation request from Development to Quality & Quality to Production

In some companies the convention MTP(Move To Production) also connotes the same.

Use SE10 for releasing the tasks & the TR Number.

Use STMS for transfer of data.

Hello, Devendra

RTP means Returnable transport packaging material. And the standard material type for RTP is LEIH (default material type for RTP in SAP).

And

Returnable transport packaging (RTP)

This is stock which you receive from a vendor at goods receipt and which you have to return at a later date.

Both of these stock types are non-valuated and managed as belonging to a third party. These are considered as special stock because they are not part of your own stock and are assigned to the respective vendor.

Simple Ex: Cocacola or Thumsup ( when you purchase the product called Thumsup from the stores, you need to return the bottle it after drinking the cold drink, or if a company sells the product to customer and after drunk by the customer, company will take it back the bottle like vise versa.

And here is the....

Additional useful information on RTP is as follows:

Separate physical inventories must be carried out for your own stock and for the various special stocks such as vendor consignment stock or returnable transport packaging. Separate physical inventory documents must be created in each case.

Empties (LEER) are a type of Returnable Transport Packaging generally subject to a deposit. They can consist of several components grouped together in a bill of material (BOM) that are assigned to a full product. For Ex: an empty crate and the empty bottles are assigned to the full product beer. Each of the components in the BOM has a separate material master record. For more information on the retail side.

Full products (VOLL): Full products are the counterpart to empties. For example, with a crate of lemonade, the full product is the lemonade itself, while the empties are the individual bottles and the crate. For more information on the retail side.

In addition to ordinary stock, special stocks can also exist that have to be managed separately, because they do not belong to your company or are stored at a particular location.

Own Special Stocks

Own special stocks are stocks belonging to your company that are stored with the vendor or the customer.

Returnable packaging at customer

Packaging articles or means of transport (for example, pallets or crates) which are supplied by your company to a customer and must be returned. Returnable packaging at the customer is not available for Requirements Planning. In Inventory Management you can only post initial entry of inventory data for this special stock. Other goods movements are processed in the Sales and Distribution component (SD).

Since these special stocks are not located at your own company, they are managed on site level and not on storage location level.

These special stocks can be allocated to two different stock types:

Unrestricted-use stock

Stock in quality inspection

All stock types can be inventoried.

Externally-Owned Special Stocks

Externally-owned special stocks belonging to a vendor or customer that are stored at your company:

Returnable transport packaging

Multi-trip packaging medium (such as pallets or containers) in which goods can be transported between vendors and customers. Returnable transport packaging from a vendor which is kept on your premises is managed as special stock and assigned as belonging to the vendor. Since it belongs to the vendor, it is not a part of your valuated stock. Goods movements for returnable transport packaging are explained in

the section on returnable transport packaging.

Since these special stocks are located at your company, they are managed at storage location level.

These special stocks can be allocated to three different stock types:

Unrestricted-use stock

Stock in quality inspection

Blocked stock

All stock types can be inventoried.

Hope this will clarifies you,

Reward, if it helps,

Hi,

RTP:

Returnable transport packaging(RTP) is a multi-trip packaging medium (for example, pallets or containers) in which goods can be transported more than once by vendors. Returnable transport packaging from a vendor that is stored at a location on your premises is managed as special stock and clearly assigned as belonging to the vendor. It is the property of the vendor and is therefore not included in the valuated stock in ur company.
