• B
  78% (31)
• D
  8% (3)

Explanation

In supplier consignment, goods remain the vendor's property until you withdraw them for use. Consignment info records (B) are mandatory because they store the vendor's consignment price and conditions - without them, SAP cannot determine what you owe when settlement occurs. Settling liabilities from withdrawals (C) is correct because the payment obligation to the vendor is triggered at the point of goods withdrawal/consumption (via transaction MRKO), not at receipt - this is the defining characteristic of the consignment model.

Option A is wrong because SAP does not require dedicated "consignment storage locations." Consignment stock is tracked using a special stock indicator (K), so it can reside in any standard storage location. Option D is wrong because receiving consignment goods creates no liability - the stock still legally belongs to the vendor at that point, so there is nothing to settle at receipt.

Memory tip: Think "Info Record → Withdraw → Pay." You need the info record to know the price, and you only pay when you withdraw, never when you receive.
