External Operation Processing

Dear all,
I'm using a external control key, I have an external service I want to perfom. How come I don't have a place inside the routing to indicate the service that I want like PM task lists? Also how is the purchasing department supposed to understand and the production people how would they know which cost element (GL Account) to throw in, it's too technical for them since each service is related to a certain cost element.
Do you have a workaround solution for this?

Rafik,
You can use external operations control key like the standard one "PP02", here in the purchasing view you can assign the GL account / Inforecord details, based on these details the external operation PR would get created.

External Operation Job Log

Hello all,
I can't seem to find additional information on this. I have written an exteranl operation in c# and I can run it from the portal without any issue. I know that standard error is supposed to be captured in the job log, however I can't seem to figure out how to write to standard error from a c# console application. Console.error doesn't seem to cut it.
I am using ALUI 6.0 sp1, but I dont' think this has changed much over the years. Has anybody written a c# external operation and been able to write to the job log?
Thanks,
Berney

You could just make it write to stdout and then redirect stdout to stderr like this: "dir 1>&2". I put that in a bat file in the scripts directory and then made the bat an external operation. It wrote to the job logs like this:

I don't think much has changed with this in the portal 6.x world, but it looks like stderr is definitely captured in wci 10.3. If there's a problem with an older version, start a support ticket to investigate a possible bug.

Error while creating external operation in Routing

Hi Freinds,
I am creating an external operation in a routing and I enter the purchasing info record which is created for the material.
But when I try to enter this info record in the external operation then I get the Error: "Enter info record without Material"
Already info record is created for this material then what could be the problem. This is stopping the routing creation .Please help.

Shailesh,
If the material is procured by means of subcontracting process, then we need to assign in the material master MRP2 view with special procurement key 30, create the BOM for the material, which would contain the components which would be Issued to the vendor. In this case you would be performing all the transaction with referance to the Output material number, so an Inforecord of SubContract category needs to be created with referance to the Output material, where you Issue the components and you can recieve your material.
In case of operation subcontract the PR or Purchase order would be with account assignment to the production order and not with referance to any material, so there wont be any referance to any material number (Product), you can Issue components for processing, but when recieving it is again not with referance to any material but operation delivery.
Hope i was able to explain, what you wanted.

External operation in routing

Hi
In routing if I maintain controlkey with external operation, I have to enter the info record details.
(I have to create info record without ref to material, the pur req/Pur ord created will be account assigned).
When ever I create an order the system will generate pur req for external opeation with ref to info record and it wil be always send to the vendor which i have maintained in info record.
My requirement is, I have 5 vendors who can do the same processing with different cost and lead time. I need to select the vendors.
Please let me know how to achieve this.
I cant go for Quota arrangement,since material number is not involved.
I dont want to create different routing with different info record details.
Regards
S.Senthil

Hi ,
In Your Scenario what i feel is you can create one routing in which u can mainatin vendor info record which is commonly used.Create a production order,but before releasing it,u can change purchase info record by making the customised setting as below.
Go to OPL8,for particular order type and plant combination,maintain order type dependent parameters in which in planning tab -purchase requistion -try to put 2 or 1 and test (1-never it will not create,2 -purchase requistions will be created after release,3-Immidiately when order is created)
Hope it will solve ur problem

External operation storage location

Hi,
I am generating a purchase requisiton for an external operation from a production order. This purchase req is a std purchase req and account assignment is F (production order). The line item does not have a storage location due to which the ME59N fails. Does anyone know how I can get the strorage location for this external operation purchase req to populate and how I can get the ME59N to work for purchase reqs of these kinds ?
Thanks

Hello
I'd like to suggest you to read carefully the following note:
503497 - Subcontracting and MRP areas
The following information provided on this note confirms that the storage location is not necessary for subcontracting, therefore, this field is empty:
The most important point to understand the system behavior is the fact that the withdrawal of the (subcontracting) component is generally carried out during the goods receipt for an SC procurement proposalfrom the subcontractor stock that is managed at plant level from an inventory management point of view and that has no reference to a storage location at all.
This causes that subcontractor requirements can never enter a storage location MRP area, since you can later not post the withdrawal from this MRP area.
Thus SC-requirements always enter the SC segment of the plant MRP area or the SC-MRP area.
The SC MRP area in turn is supplied by stock transfer reservations from the plant MRP area or via third-party order processing through procurement proposals with goods receipt directly to the subcontractor. A supply through the materials planning from a storage location MRP area is not possible.
For the above reason, SC-requirements do also not carry any storage location, since the storage location does not have any control function at all for SC-requirements:
You cannot and you should not determine a storage location MRP area (see above), and the subcontractor MRP area is determined via the vendor of the procurement proposal, thus it is independent of the storage location.
See also Note 376050 on this topic that makes a modification available which prevents the deletion of the storage location in the subcontractor requirements, so that you can use, for example, customer-specific reports to analyze the storage location.
You may consider the modification from note 376050, which prevents the deletion of the storage location from the subcontracting requirements, however, this is generally only relevant for displaying the storage location and this is not used for processing the item.

Please provide the external testing process in QM

Hi,
           My client want to MAP external testing process in their business scenario.pls update me how we can MAP in our QM process.
          process is :-
                         1) Material sample will go to external testing (external vendor). :- on which basis that material will Gate-out.
                         2) sample quantity will not return from vendor end.only result will come.
                         3) after that result recording will done.
                         4) UD will done.

You can use external inspection (inspection type 0130) in this case. Activate 0130 inspection type in material master as well @ opeartion level of Routing.
So moment you do GR of external operation you will get inspection lot of this GR (insp type 0130) in this case & you can record result against same.
Refer following thread for more info.

PP Internal and External Operation

Hi,
I am marked one of my operation( say 40 th operation) in routing as 'Internal and External operation'. This operation is done both internally as well as externally.How I instruct system 60 Pc is processed externally and 40 Pc is processed internally incase of 100 PC of order qty.? More over how to confirm both of them???
Edited by: Velmurugan S on Apr 29, 2008 7:44 AM

Hi,
I am not sure but it seems both the types are possible in this case. If you apply a control key with this setting, you may be able to either process it internally or create a PR against it.
Note that its OR and not AND. So you may be able to process in one of the way and not both.
For better understanding please check it in testing and tell us the results.

External Operations in Standard Cost

Hi All,
Currently when we run standard cost rollup,we are not adding any external operations costs to product and once production process is complete,it is settling as a variances.how can i include external operations cost in cost component?
every production order external operations costs is different and we have one primary cost element to post external operations cost.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rau

Don't solve my problem ecause this is my question.
I want that this field "Planned Delivery Time" is compiled by Default value. Is it possible.
In my opinion I hope that in Work Center for externa Operation, for example, there is a parameter that allows me to have a default value into the Field. Or in Master data of material.
My user want that they create a routing and insert the work center about external operation, the system put authomatically the value into the "Planned Delivery Time".
It's a request, but I don't find a standard solution.

External Operation but without entire Procurement Cycle

We have an operation in the Production Order, where a process is done by a vendor. However this is handled such that the Vendor collects materials across several production orders on a regular basis. The invoicing is also done late, perhaps monthly. Because of this, we find that modelling the operation as an External Operation is difficult since the PO would stay open and the Production Order cannot be closed until all the administration work is completed.
We would like to capture the external costs of the operation, as a form of immediate 'Confirmation' for that operation and posting into interim costs. Later, when the physical goods have arrived and invoiced CO can reconcile those costs against these interim costs.
Is it possible to set an Operation as External yet not have to go through entire Procurement cycle?

Dear
if vendor is doing first operation, Create a semi finished material with special procurement 30 subcontracting key in material master MRP2 view and maintain BOM of components which are sending to vendor and routing with external procurement.
Open another semi finished material for in house production and make BOM of component received from vendor i.e. subcontracting semi finished.
Result of above given procedure, there will be two documents without interlink (purchase order and production order). then you can open production order as per material available quantity and close whenever you desire and similarly for purchase order.
if vendor is last operation, procedure will be vise versa of above procedure.
Thanks

External Operation in CO11n

Hi Gurus,
While confirmation external operations (Sub-Con), those should not be visible for shop floor guys. I mean those externally processed operations must be greyed or disabled for editing.
What are the settings I need to do ?
regards
Ram Kumar

I am passing through post, and replicated the scenario in my system. During test
scenario I was not able to hide the operations by checking the
Confirmable operations in OPK4 under Selection in tab Operation
indiv entry using initial scrn
My understanding of the above setting is, operations (like 0010,0020...)
should not be recognized in Co11n with above setting
Recognized in terms of CO11n should not able to discern that operations (0010,0020...) are maintained in master data
Note: With Control key setting ( tcode OP00:Confirmations not possible ) able to
disable the confirmations

External operation without material supply

Hi, i want to send only the parent material (header material) for some operation at subcontractor for operation 20. pls advise how to maintain the bom and send to vender and further steps? thank u in advance.

Hi,
Pl. find below steps for external processing. I got this from one of my friend.
1. For a production material (1001), one raw material (2001) is assigned.
2. Production process of 1001 is having four operations 10, 20, 30 and 40.
3. In this 10, 30, and 40 are internal operations and 20 is external operation (sub-contracting).
4. To address this, we created a dummy material (non-valuated) and named as 1001-20 (Finished product number + Operation to be performed).
5. This 1001-20 should form part of the component in BOM of 1001. That is BOM of 1001 will have components as raw material 2001 and this dummy material 1001-20. In routing, assign this dummy material 1001-20 to operation 20.
6. During BOM creation, you should remove costing relevancy for the item 1001-20.
7. In routing, operation 20 is created with a work center (which is external operation work center) with exteranl operation control key.
8. In operation details, for external processing, assign the info record of external processing.
9. Info record of external processing has to be created for vendor with relevance to the operation to be performed externally with vendor. (We are using material group field in the external processing in routing operation).
10. When create production order with above set up, system will create Purcha Req for external operation. This has to be converted to purchase order.
11. Now, this dummy material should be kept as 5000 or 6000 in stock using 561. When Purchase order is raised, required quantity has to be moved to vendor using 541. When we do goods receipt the stock with vendor shall come down. With this, we can monitor the material (with dummy material number) stock with vendor (please note we can see only quantity and not value) .
12. When we do GR for external purch order, we receive only the operation performed. (So, coversion cost to vendor shall be paid).
13. After ensuring GR is done, order confirmatin of operation 0020 has to be done. (here we capture the quanttiy and also the valuation of material in production order).

Schedule lines for an external operation in a production order

Hi All,
I have an external operation defined in a production order and a scheduling agreement is assigned to it in the Routing operation details. Now, i want to generate schedule lines when a production order created but the system always generating a purchase requisition. Do we need something to be configured in the background? Please help!
The idea is to have the goods receipt done against the same agreement always.
Regards,
Sravan

Hi Sravan,
As per my view point, this is standard SAP behaviour. System will generate PR only in case of external operation.
If you go to OPL8 (Order type dependent parameters) for your respective order type & plant combination you have option of maintaining setting related to PR only and there is no option of using scheduling agreement or generating schedule lines.
I don't see any possibility to use scheduling agreement using to have schedule lines for external operation.

As answered by Punnet, your Datasource SOALocalTxDataSource on weblogic console is in suspended state.
Login to weblogic console. go to datasources --> SOALocalTxDataSource -->Control Tab --> Click Resume and try again.

Auto-Reaction Method - External Operating System Command

Hello ,
I am trying to run a script (test.cmd) on a monitored java system out of solution manager via ccms auto-reaction method, but without success.
I have created a RFC Connection to the java system in transaction sm59, defined an external operation command in transaction sm69 (/usr/sap/test.cmd) and an auto-reaction method using that command. But when I test the command in transaction sm49 with the RFC connection as target destination, the command is executed on the local CEN system (SolutionManager system) instead of the monitored java system. I have no clue where's the problem???
Thanks for any help (points, points, points)
Mirko
