Procurement of Consignment Material

Use

You can procure consignment material via purchase requisitions, purchase orders and outline agreements for consignment material.

Activities

Creating Purchase Requisitions for Consignment Material

You enter purchase requisitions for consignment materials in exactly the same way as for other materials.

You accept the order category (such as NB) that the system proposes as a default and enter the item category K (for consignment).

Creating Purchase Orders / Outline Agreements for Consignment Materials

The procedure for creating consignment orders is the same as for standard purchase orders or outline agreements. However, you must note the following:

Enter the item category K for the consignment item. To ensure that the goods receipt is posted to the consignment stores and an invoice receipt cannot be generated for the item.
Do not enter a net price.
