• Key Concepts: 
  Consignment pick-up is a process in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) that allows customers to pick up goods from a vendor's warehouse without having to pay for them upfront. The vendor is responsible for delivering the goods to the customer's location, and the customer pays for the goods upon delivery. This process is beneficial for both parties, as it eliminates the need for the customer to pay for the goods before they are delivered, and it allows the vendor to receive payment for their goods without having to wait for payment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use consignment pick-up in SAP SD, the customer must first create a purchase order with the vendor. The purchase order should include all of the necessary information about the goods that are being purchased, such as quantity, price, and delivery date. Once the purchase order is created, the vendor will then create a consignment pick-up document in SAP SD. This document will include all of the necessary information about the goods that are being picked up, such as quantity, price, and delivery date. The customer will then be able to pick up the goods from the vendor's warehouse and pay for them upon delivery.
