Component for external processing

hello!
i would like to have special stock indicator '2' for a component that is used for external processing. when i enter 2, it is removed automatically - all components for external processing (and subcontracting) are always plant stock.
any ideas?
best regards,
matthias

Dear,
Go to MRP-4 View---> Individual /Coll. Indicator --->
Change it from 1 Individual Requirements to 2 Collective requirements.
Is best the solution.
One suggestion is to remove the indicator "1" manually in CO02-Component overview and then issue material to that production order set it as 2.
Hope clear to you.

  • Substitute variables for external process activity in process flows

    Has anyone used with success substitute variables such as ${Working.Rootpath} for external process activity?
    I can't get it working. Variables aren't substituted and my scripts fail.
    Sample value for parameter_list parameter for external process I use is:
    |${Working.Rootpath}|
    and in the script I get:
    ${Working.Rootpath}
    which is of course not what I expected.

    In documentation is Working.Rootpath so there is a bug in documentation. It is ugly because it's hard to guess.
    Thank's for your reply Michael. I checked all that you described. Previously I had Working location set to "Use default location". When I changed it to actual location substitute variables started to work properly.
    If I correctly understand "Use default location" means: use location associated with process module. And for execution it works but for substitute variables doesn't. So I think it is a bug.
    Next thing is variables in the script itself. From examples sent by Mark (script: cd ${Working.RootPath}...) they should be set in environment and accessible to shell. This doesn't work for me but it is not described in documentation and can be easily achieved by passing parameters. So that's not a problem.
    One more question: Should I open tars and file bugs describing what we found?

  • Control key for external process operation & internal.

    Hello,
    We have created one control key (ZP01) T code OP67.
    In the customisation (OP67) for "External processing" selection field we select "X" i.e. "Internal processed operation / Extarnal processing possible.
    If this field is blank then it is a "Internal operation"
    If this field is "+" Then it is external operation, in this case system creates the purchase requisition after release the production order.
    We want to know,
    If this field is with "X", then what is the proceedure to create the purchase requisition for external operation.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards
    Nilesh

    Hello Brahmankar,
    Thanks for your prompt detail reply.
    As per your suggestion already we have that setting for another controll key (PP02)
    It is std for SAP it is working fine, in this control key the setting is "+" for external proceesing in OP67.
    Now my requirement is instead of "+" I made it "X" i.e. Internal processed operation / External processing possible. In this case system is not generating purchase requisition after production order release.
    I want to know for external processing whether I have to create purchase requisition manualy?
    or any other process we have to follow?
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Control Key for External processing

    Hi
    I have a work center for external process and a control key created for external as well. In setting up the control key I choose "automatic goods receipt" and "confirmation required".
    Then I have 2 semi parts A and B. Same routings are created for them with the work center and control key mentioned above.
    When I create production orders for A and B, I can get a purchase requisition for external process and convert it to a PO. Further when I make a goods receipt to the PO, the production orders are marked with status "CNF". What's surprising me is only for part A the goods receipt of production order is done automatically when the PO is done with goods receipt. No "DLV" for the B production order.
    I compare the material master of A and B - can't see any difference...
    Please give me some suggestion on where I should look into. Thanks a lot in advance.
    yu

    At least I can see the difference now.
    The scenario is still a production order with an external processing operation (PO to supplier).
    When I use movement type 101 to GR the PO, the production order gets CNF and DLV
    When I use movement type 103+105 to GR the PO, the production order gets nothing and the external processing operation just gets EODL.
    For QC process, we choose to use 103 to GR the PO first and 105 is made when quality check is finished. Is there any solution for this issue?

  • Production Variance Analysis for External Process Cost

    Dear all,
    We are on 4.7 R3.
    In production order we have routing/operation with mutliple external processes. The problem is production order cost analysis (CO03) displayed the external process cost variance in lump sum (it adds multiple external processes cost into a single line).
    We need to be able to analysis the external process cost variance by each process. We want to generate a report that displayed the external process cost variance for each processes, however in table COSPA there is no information of the external process name, it also displayed the cost in a lump sum amount.
    How to enable the external process cost variance by each process? What table capture the external process cost with the information of the external process name/ID?
    Thank you very much in advance for your kind assistance.

  • Outbound delivery for external processing Purchase order

    Hi all ,
    In external processing, I have an external activity.
    The PR and then the PO are created with acct *** F  and no material.
    In that case the shipping tab is not opened in the PO line details and thus
    I can not create an outbound delivery in order to print a shipment doc for that PO .
    Is ther any workaround for creating such outbound delivery or at least
    print a shipment document ?

  • Gate pass for external processing

    Hi,
    please guide me for this ,
    damaged equipments are sent out side the company for a repairing ,and store people issue gate pass for the same while handing over to vendor,
    i understand that this processing can be done using control key,
    but how the gate pass in the system will be created ,is ther any provision for that in PM area,
    Thanks in Advance
    Vishal

    Sending the equipment to vendor for repair you can use the following process
    1.     Create out going equipment as UNBW material type
    2.     Generate service PR (Control key PM03)
    3.     Generate service PO
    4.     Create stock in MB1C transaction with movement type 561
    5.     Transfer to vendor in MB1B with movement type 341
    6.     Receive from vendor with movement type 342 in MB1B
    7.     Transfer to you storage location with movement type 311
    8.     Create service entry sheet
    For gate pass, I hope you need to develop custom report.
    Thanks

  • Product Costing:External Processing

    Hi Gurus,
    My doubt is I am comparing standard cost estimates of production client with another client which is its copy. The product cost estimate of a material, the cost component 'External Processing' is showing value 700 in PN client and 1000 in the New client. The cost element for 'External Processing is 700000000H as primary cost element and another as secondary cost element. I tried checking the GL account report in FBL3N regarding the postings happened in the GL accounts.
    1. My question is why there is a variation of 700(of PN client) and 1000(in NEW client).
    2. The second question is, from where these values are flowing.How we can trace back the flow of values for this particular cost component of External Processing' of a material cost estimate?
    Is it anyway related with Exchange Rate differences? If so, how and where it is linked?
    I'll be really grateful for your answers.
    Looking forward for you reply soon.
    Thanks,
    Prithwi.

    Hi,
    I have checked the valuation variant 001. The startegy sequence is same only. There's no change in configuration settings as the new client is copy of production client only.
    I wanted to know, the 'External processing' data or values from which.postings. How it gets picked up and how we can check its origin?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Sub-contracting External Processing PP-PI

    hI,
    I am trying to create sub-contracting order through SAP PP-PI.
    I have a FG - X, with components X1 & X2.
    I have 3operations and 3 phases in the Recipe for X.
    The 2nd phase is having the control key for external processing, because of which i had to assign Purc.Info record to this phase.
    ( Pls note that its not allowing me to enter a PIR of material/vendor combination, hence had to create for Material Group/ Vendor).
    Now when i Create and release a Process order for X, there is a Pur req created but it has no material, and i cant change anything in this Pur. req.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    When a Preq is created for external processing, the material is not copied in to the Preq. This is std SAP behavior. However with EhP4, this functionality is made available. You need to activate this functionality and then some code changes has to be done in the BADI in order to copy the material from order to Preq. I don't remember the BADI, but I am sure there is one.
    Thanks

  • Tracking of wip material in externally processed operation

    Hi All,
    As part of production process, most of the operations would be processed internally in the manufacturing plant and some of the operations would be
    performed by vendor at his own premises (outside the manufacturing plant). Material will be called as WIP (work in process) material if it completes some of the operations (two operations completed out of four operations) in production process without forming its final product shape
    WIP (work in process) material will be sent out to vendor against externally processed operation in production order. We’ve a business requirement to track the WIP (Work in Process, No inventory yet in system) material status details such as when was the WIP material shipped out to service provider by purchasing department or returned back to production floor from stores after receiving from vendor for externally processed operation in production
    order
    The scenario is explained below and the process in SAP would be as follows.
    1. Production order would be created for
    respective header material (semi-finished/finished) with required quantity with five operations to be processed, for example: OP10 (turning), OP20 (drilling), OP30 (milling), OP40 (shaping), OP50 (powder coating). OP10, OP20, OP40, OP50. would be processed internally in the shop floor of the manufacturing plant
    2.After finishing the internal processing at OP10 and OP20,  Operation no 30 (OP30-milling) for the respective header
    material would be processed externally by sending the partially processed part(WIP) to vendor outside the manufacturing plant. In SAP, the partially processed part doesn't have any material code and will not be updated in the inventory and will be treated as WIP (work in process) and automatic purchase requisition for external processing through production order is generated as follows
    For OP30 Milling (Externally processed operation), from PP module perspective, we would be maintaining a control key which supports external
    processing in the Operation 30 (OP30, external processed operation - An externally processed operation is not carried out within own organization, but is assigned to a vendor, who then does the work) with relevant information such as material group, purchase group, description of operation, cost element to track costs in the production order.
    When the respective production order is saved, system creates a purchase requisition for external processed operation 30. We can see
    the number of the purchase requisition on the external processing tab of operation details screen of OP30 in SAP Production order.
    Purchasing department generates a purchase order against the automatic purchase requisition generated in production order, which informs the
    vendor which service is required.
    With reference to the purchase order – service oriented, the WIP material (no material code exists in SAP) is sent out to vendor. After the material has been processed, the vendor delivers the material back to manufacturing plant. When a goods receipt against purchase order is posted at manufacturing plant, the system displays the received quantity on the external processing tab of operation details screen of the operation - OP30 in production order and also displays in order information system reports. It also possible to track the cost incurred for external operation. However, Goods receipt against production order does not cause an increase in the quantity and value of the warehouse stock of header material of production order.
    The above mentioned process is not a subcontracting process - where in we send raw materials and receive semi-finished/finished materials from vendor
    3. The respective partially processed part (WIP) received from vendor is sent to shop floor to complete the rest of the process
    in OP40 (shaping) and OP50 (powder coating).
    4. After OP50, the respective header material (semi-finished/finished) of the production order will be received (goods
    receipt against production order) as inventory in respective storage location.
    With reference to the above process, we can track the status of receipt of WIP material from vendor after processing at his premises;
    however, we can’t track when WIP material ( after completing processing at OP20) was sent out to vendor for external processing by purchasing department and when WIP material was returned back to production shop floor for further processing at OP40 after receiving from vendor by stores.
       Please provide your feedback for the possibility to track the details of WIP material (no material code exists in SAP system) sent out to
    vendor and received back at shop floor from stores for external processed operation of production order
    Thanks for help in advance.
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh,
    Process what ever you have explained is the right process with respective to operation wise subcontracting as per SAP Best practice. As you rihtly said in operation wise subcontracting PR is created with any material code. Once PR is created after PO and GR actual cost of that particular operation will be seen on the order. I believe sub contact operation after GR can be confirmed through confirmation transactions. Since it is subcontract operation specfic to peration seperate inventory is not tracked instead cost is reflecting directly on order
    If you to want to track the inventory of the intermdiate product then you need to have a seperate material code for intermediate product (Eg A) received after second operation and do seperate subcontacting PR for seperate new material (Eg B) by issuing the intermediate material (Eg. A). Upon receivng GR for PO inventory will be updated for the new material (Eg B).This new material can be issued to your final product which has operation 0040 and 0050. Here two different material codes will be required.
    Else follow the suggestion given by expert Caetano.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramagiri

  • Can SAP get material number in Purchase order in external processing?

    I have a question that:
    As I know, Exeternal processing is a service, so that Material number can not be shown in purchase order converted from PR for external processing. Here, PR can be automately generated from transaction CO01 to create an external processing production order. Meanwhile, for external processing, purchase info record is created without material number only with material group.
    So, I want to know that if there any solutions to show material number in purchase order generated for external processing?
    thanks,
    best regards,

    If therer are no production order, How can I get finished products from internal activity and external processing?
    Now, external processing in our company like this:
    1.create an purchase info record. (type:subcontracting, with material group, but not material ID)
    2.Maintan external processing data in external operation where external processing happens.(control key: pp02, external processing data: info record, purchase org. net price, cost element etc.)
    3.create a production order for the material.(one of the operations is an external processing operation described like step 2)
    4.Purchase requstion is changed into Purchase order. (Purchase requestion is automately created with the production order)
    5.MIGO to receive goods from the purchase order.
    6.finished the production order and delivery goods.then the production order is DLV.
    In step 4, purchase order can only get the production order ID, but there are no material ID shown in it. Only method to show material is that maintaining a description text in the external operation, then, purchase order item could show material in material text(but, here, there is no material ID derectly from info record or production order).
    this is the big problem now for our company. No material ID can be automately carried into the purchase order.
    Hope you help..
    thanks...

  • Routing and Externally Process and Purchase requisition

    Dear Experts
    I try to set routing with External processing.
    I have 2 questions.
    I would really appreciate you, if you could answer my questions.
    I still have not understood the relationship between "Control key" and "Purchase Order"
    The routing is like below
    10 self manufacturing
    20 External Processing with the control key is pp02
    30 self manufacturing
    In case I set "+"  (Externally processed operation)   for "External Processing" in "pp02", the Purchase Requisition will be created.
    However in case I set "X"  (Internally processed operation / Externally processed operation)  for "External Processing" in "pp02", the Purchase Requisition will not be created.
    My question is in case I set "X" for "External Processing" for Control key, how can I create Purchase Requisition?
    Should I create Purchase Requisition manually?
    In case I set task 20 as External Processing.
    What kind of Work center should I regist for task20?
    Is it dummy work center or is empty OK?
    Best Regards

    Dear,
    When you maintain external processing in your control key PP02 and the system will create a purchase requisition when you release the production order. For that particular external processing operation you need to maintain the purchasing group and info record details in the external processing tab in routing.
    Please refer my reply from this link,
