General Analysis – ZFMRKO

Overview: The standard transaction for Consignment and Pipeline Material settlement
is MRKO and as per the specific requirement of the Company the standard program has
been modified with a new transaction ZFMRKO.

Consignment Material is stored at your company premises but belongs to a vendor. The
vendor supplies these goods so that they are available to you at any time, but does not
initially invoice you for the goods. Only when you have withdrawn stock does payment
become due for the quantities used.

Pipeline Material flows directly into the production process. This could be from a
pipeline, for example, oil, from a pipe, for example, water, or from a cable, for example,
electricity. Payment is due after each withdrawal.

You do not expect an invoice from the vendor for goods withdrawals from consignment
stocks or a pipeline. Instead you settle posted withdrawals and return deliveries yourself
and send the vendor a statement of the settlement. You can perform this settlement
periodically in the background. The following documents can be involved:

 Invoices
 Credit memos

You can process withdrawals and return deliveries for consignment and pipeline stocks
by:

 Displaying these withdrawals

 Settling these withdrawals
