Hello,
When you have several own stock and consignment items, stock determination should follow different rules. For own stock items, issue should be from own stock first and if not available, issue from consignment stock. For consignment items, issue should be from consignment stock first and if not available, issue from own stock.
So when consignment stock transfer is checked, you need to provide the alternate rule to the regular rule. This will handle the situation of an article being in own stock and consignment stock at the same time. SAP provides the following online documentation example:
| Stock Rule | Name | Stock Rule | Name | Cons. Stock Transfer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4711 | Own/Cons. | 4712 | Cons./Own | X |
| 4712 | Cons./Own |
In this example, consignment stock determination is active for stock determination rule 4711 and an alternate consignment rule was defined, which means stock determination is performed using the alternate consignment rule, 4712.
| Stock Rule | Name | Stock Rule | Name | Cons. Stock Transfer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4711 | Own/Cons. | 4712 | Cons./Own | |
| 4712 | Cons./Own |
In this example, stock determination rule 4711 is again assigned an alternate consignment rule. This has no effect on stock determination in this case, however, because consignment was not activated for the stock transfer. As a result, rule 4711 is used for stock determination.
| Stock Rule | Name | Stock Rule | Name | Cons. Stock Transfer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4711 | Own/Cons. | X | ||
| 4712 | Cons./Own |
In this example, consignment stock determination is activated for stock determination rule 4711, but an alternate rule was defined. As a result, rule 4711 is used for stock determination.
Thanks,
