• Key Concepts: 
  A consignment issue order is a document used in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) to transfer goods from a vendor to a customer. The customer is not charged for the goods until they are actually used. The vendor is responsible for the storage and maintenance of the goods until they are used. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The consignment issue order is created in SAP SD when the customer requests goods from the vendor. The order contains information about the goods, such as quantity, price, and delivery date. Once the order is created, it is sent to the vendor for processing. The vendor then ships the goods to the customer and sends an invoice for payment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a consignment issue order, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included in the order. This includes the quantity of goods, price, delivery date, and any other relevant information. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the vendor has sufficient stock of the requested goods before creating the order. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Consignment issue orders are closely related to consignment fill-up orders, which are used to replenish stock when it runs low. Additionally, consignment issue orders can be used in conjunction with other documents such as delivery notes and invoices.
