Consignment Process in SD

Consignment Sales Process in SAP

The consignment process in SAP standard consist of four small processes: 
Consignment fill up (send materials to customer consignment). 
Here you have a consignment fill up order and a consignment fill up delivery. 
Consignment issue (issue materials from customer consignment to the
customer)
Here you have a consignment issue order, consignment issue delivery and a
consignment issue invoice. (The flow is very similar to a normal OR flow, but
the materials are issued from the consignment stock instead of plant stock
unrestricted). 
Consignment return (return materials from customer ownership to customer
consignment) 
Here you have a consignment return order, consignment return delivery and a
consignment return invoice. (The flow is very similar to a normal RE flow, but
the materials are returned to the consignment stock instead of plant stock
returns). 
Consignment pickup (pickup consignment stock and move it to plant stock)
Here you have a consignment pickup order and a consignment pickup delivery. 
Note that in consignment fill up and consignment pickup there are no invoices
since there is no change of ownership for the materials. 
How to perform a consignment order
In consignment orders you are allowing the stock to sit in your customer
location. Once he informs that he used the stock you will invoice him. If he
returns the stock you will accept the stock to take it back.
It is defined in 4 steps.
1. Consignment fill up: 
Sales document type is KB
Item category KBN
Schedule line category E1
In this step, you are not invoicing the customer. Document flow is sales order
---- delivery item category. It will not be relevant for billing and pricing because
you are not charging money for these goods in this step.
In schedule line category, you will set movement type 631 and set for
availability check and TOR.
 
2. Consignment Issue.
Once the customer informed you that he used all the goods or partial goods
then you will create consignment issue for used goods.
Sales document: KE
Item category: KEN
Schedule line category: C0 or C1
Here you are invoicing the customer (because he used the goods). You are
assigning the delivery document and billing document to the sales document.
In item category, you are setting relevant for billing, pricing, special stock.
In schedule line category, your setting is 633movement type, relevant for
availability check and TOR.
 
3. Consignment Return:
Customer found that some goods are damaged or he not able to sold the goods
he want to send it back. That you are creating this document
Sales document type: KR
Item category: KRN
Schedule line category: D0
You will assign delivery document and billing to sales document. You will create
return order, return delivery, return billing.
You're setting item category relevant for billing, returns, and pricing, special
stock.
You’re setting schedule line item category: 634 movement type, NO availability
NO TOR.
 
4. Consignment Pick up:
Even if you create the consignment return the goods are not come to direct to
your plant. For that you need to create consignment pick up. Here the owner
ship is not changing so you do not need to create billing.
Assign return delivery to sales document type
Sales document: KA
