External Processing with material Provided to Vendor

Dear All,
I have a problem in external processing of Maintenance Order.
When i have created external processing operation.
I have assigned one component for that external operation which i have to send to vendor.
After saving the Maintenance order, system is generating Purchase Requisition for that operation.
That purchase requisition is having account assignment category F. But it is not picking the item category L and the component assigned for this external operation is not flowing to the purchase requisition.
Please guide me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Hi
For external service we can use PM03, for that we have to create service sheet and proceed further.
But here my requirement is, just like PP external processing they are doing one operation outside.
If you look at PP routing, Operation overview there is given external processing data and there will be subcontracting tick.
If we tick the sub-contracting button, then system will pick the component assigned to that operation to the Purchase requisition.
If we don't tick that button, system will not copy the component to PReq. .
Is there any option available here in PM?
Please guide me.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

How to clear the stock of material provided to vendor(subcontracting stock)

Hi SAP Gurus,
Please let me know how to clear the stock of material provided to vendor(subcontracting stock) and need your help in what senario this stock will show in " Matl prov. to vendor "
Thanks and Regards,
SHARAN.

Hi Sharan,
Matl Povided to Vendor stock will appear in Subcontracting scenario.
If at all you have given some material to a subcontractor , this will be consumed automaticaly when you will recieve the ordered material from subcontractor.that is 543 movement will take place in the backgroung when u do the GR.
In case if u need to clear the stock u can do 542 and take the stock back to unrestricted.

How to handle starting of external processes with Runtime.exec() properly

hi people,
you find a lot about starting external processes with the Runtime class in every forum.
-> that the stdout of the started processes has to be redirected and read
due to os buffer problems
-> that calling batches is done by starting the interpreter and the batch as parameter (cmd.exe, /bin/sh,..)
-> that the created process doesn't have an os environment
-> ...
but what if you don't know anything about the started process.
what if you only want only to start an external process. if you don't want to wait til waitfor() returns and if you don't read the streams of the created processes, the os stdout buffer will overflow immediately an the started process will be blocked.
you can read the stdout of the started process, but what if the process does print nothing to stdout, and your bufferreader.readLine() will block ?
you can do this (read buffer, waitFor()) in an separate thread, but the thread lives til the started process will finish, so maybe you got dozens of senseless thread ?
So, what is an effective and good way to start external programs/processes if you don't know about them.
so i would be grateful for an answer
regards
Alen

I realize that's a pat answer, but it's true. Spawing off another program without being able to predict its behavior is dangerous.
But anyway, as I understand it creating a new process is relatively expensive. The cost of creating new threads to read the process's I/O and later garbage collecting those threads when the process dies, probably isn't much of an additional burden.

Internal processing Vs external processing with in the networks under a WBS

Dear Gurus,
please give an over view about internal processing Vs external processing with in the networks under a WBS element ,
is there any different process for creating reservatios & PRs in both the above ?
rgds

I think for internal processing the procurement indicator willbe 140 (when PR is not required) & for external processing the procurement indicator willbe 130 (when PR is required)

External processing in the plant as vendor under same company code

Hi friends,
In our project under implementation we have following scenario.
we have 4 plants under one company code. one of the plant does powder coating as manufacturing activity. Other 3 plants sends components to the powder coating plant for coating purpose.
In IDES Standard scenario of external processing, a purchase requisition is raised thro info record maintained for the external operation. This scenarion works if the vendor is external.
In our case, the vendor is one of the other plant under same company code/client. Also the powder coating needs to be done without any profit margin for internal customers.
Our FICO guys have the opinion that, intra plant can't be a vendor; because raising invoices among plants under the same company codes is against accounting standars.
If anybody has faced this type of scenario nd found the solution, Please share it here.
Thanx in advance

Hi Shiva
STO scenario
You can not create only STO as you need to send the unpainted components to another plant through SAP & have them painted back with only payment of paining charges without margin.
Subcontracting scenario
You can not create the Subcontracting PO as this is not your external vendor.
Does this involves excise?
Then the PR/PO ctreated should be of combination of STO and subcontracting. If so this is not possible, as item category is the only field in PR/PO that identifies it as STO and subcontracting. obiviously it cann't have 2 values.
My suggesion on this as...
Create a BOM for painted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant(paining plant). this will have STO cretaed for paining plant. This will inturn cretae a production order in painitng plant.
The BOM in painting plant will have the unpainted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant ( fabricated plant) this will have STO created for unpainted components.
I hope I am clear & not confused you much.

MRP4 view exclude storage location & material provided by vendor/customer..

Hi
Could anyone please tell me in MRP4 view for a material,where is the option so that i can exclude or include the storage location stock from MRP?
and also in which T code i should indicate the material is provided by vendor/material provided by customer?In CS01wher's this option?
Please help me
Thanks & regards
Raj

Hi Karthik,
MRP area is nothing to do with storage locations settings in MRP4 view. If you want to activate MRP area and use the MRP run at MRP area level then you have to customized MRP area either at storage location level or sub-contractor level (in MRP master data settings )... then you need to assign this MRP1 view of the material and with valid MRP type. Now when you run the MRP then planning will be carried out at this MRP area for this part.
With storage location indicators in MRP4 view (must enter with putting the stoarge location values from MM02/MM03) you can exclude the stock of this storage location (indicator 1) in the palnning run or you can plan seperately with indicator2 with using re-order level. Here no need of MRP area.
If helps rewards points.

MM Subcontracting with material applied by vendor

Dear all ,
I have to input into Subcontrating Purchase order a new line to represent the material applied by vendor. The problem of this scenario is that I must put the value of this material applied(second line of PO) as part of costs of main item.
I could not use condition at pricing to simulate this into the MIRO.
Does anyone know this scenario ? How could I do that in this way ?
best regards,
Ale

Hi dear Charlie !
thx for your reply !
Well I could not use delivery costs conditions at pricing because after that I must use by one brazilian fiscal requirement use the additional item at PO to open at "Nota fiscal" that is a fiscal document valid here in Brazil , and I use it on MIRO.
Thx for your quick reply.
best regards,

Subcontracting process where Material Supplied by vendor

Hello Gurus,
If anyone can provide me input how to map subcontracting scenario with subcontracting challan where some material is also added by vendor(Which is unknown at the time of raising purchase order).
This additional componenet also attracts excise so how to take credit on top of this.
I am mentioning what i am doing for this process and what issue i am getting
1. I am sending component A for conversion from subcontracting vendor and receiving Z.For this i created one Subcon PO, transferred material A then created subcontracting challan.
2. Now vendor is adding his material B.This part i am handling by inserting this material B in components of A(FG) by amending PO.In the same PO i maintained vendor supplied material as separate line item and its delivery i selected as delivered directly at vendor site.
3. At the time of doing GR first i am making GR of vendor additional component(With capturing of excise invoice) then for the FG material with ref to subcontracting challan.
4.
4.Now when i am recociling sub con challan system is not considering the extra quantity (Recieved from Vendor) and system is not recognising and becuase of this i am not able to save the Challan
SO need your expertise help if i am following process wrong as mentioned above or shall i try some another way to process this cycle

Create the BOM for Z (Finished)component (Raw component A)
Create the sub contracting PO for Z componet
Send A component through 541 with MB1B transaction
While receiving finished goods in MIGO there is a option (Non-Ordered Material)click this option add vendor added meterial (B) and receive along with finished goods.
You can settle the same when you crete the invoice.
Hope this would help.

MB1B Transfer posting 311Q ( Material provided to vendor ) ......

Hello
Subcontracting process useing movement type (311 Q)
in the trasaction MB1B. i wold like to fetch the components from the PO , like 541.
error "Combination of movement type 311 Q and function selected not possible "
please help me

you cannot consume with 543 if you have not move any stock with 541, even you created a storage location.
The storage location is useless for the consumption, except you use the PP subcontracting process instead of the MM subcontracting process.
A storage location for the subcontractor is usually on created for the case that you send materials directly from subcontractor to customer. in this case you receive the finished material into that location, but for consumption in MM subcontracting process no storage location is involved. the material has to be in special stock O and is only monitored at plant level, instead of storage location the vendor is shon in stock overview MMBE.
In PP subcontracting process, you create a production order yourself to consume the materials, only the service fee is ordered via a PO that is linked to this production order. the calculation of the finished material is made from the production order. you then have to receive twice, you do MIGO to confirm that you got the service, and you receive the quantity to the production order.

Quality Inspection with Parts Provided to Vendor - Mvt 541

Hai All,
The scenario, Material stock is available in Quality Inspection stock. For final operation this has to be sent outside to a Subcontractor.
With Mvt type 541 in MB1B, unable to create the transfer document with Inspection stock for that material. Mvt 541 doesn't recognize the Quality Inspection stock of Material.
I created new movement type by copying mvt 541 in OMJJ. But unable to enter "Inspection Lot Origin" value (OMJJ - New movement type --> Update control / WM movement types --> select line & goto Details) which will trigger Insp. lot creation during material movement.
Kindly help me.
Regards,
Jags

Hi,
Can you explain the business need to do something like that? Because the logic is once the stock is in QC it has to be cleared for you or your sub-con vendor to use it. i am sure you would not want to use sub-standard parts either inhouse or by your sub-con for your products.
So clear the inspection lot first & then once in unrestricted then issue the material to sub-con.
Await your inputs.
Regards,
Vivek

Subcontract Process with vendor supplied component

Hi,
We have a subcontracting process, when we send 3 components to the vendor, the vendor apply another component and return the semi finished to me.
I have a BOM of this semi finished Good that includes all the 4 components.
We sent the 3 components via mb1b.
We create a PO of the Semi Finished Good if we verified the components the 4 components are there.
When we try to receive via MIGO and click in verify The 3 itens that I send is OK ... But the item that is supplied by the vendor show me an error message that there is no stock.
What should I do to receive the component supplied by the vendor ?

Hello,
1. Create subcontracting with item category "L" and second line item in same PO enter with Item cateogroy means STD.
2. Item level of the Delivery address tab, tick SC Vendor and enter the same Vendor code there.
3.Go for GR for only for 2nd line item first. This stock will automatically picks 101 O Mvt, and u can view this stock as Vendor stock.
Check MMBE stock overview , Material is showing provided to Vendor at plant level.
4. Provide other 3 components with MB1B- 541 Mvt.
5. Go for second GR for finished Product.
4th Material shown as Material provided to Vendor in stock overview. if you want to get back that same material to your stock. reverse that stock use t code MB1B with help of Movement type 542.
Or else.
Through subsequnet settelement you can send the 4th Material to your subcontrcator MB04.

Sub-contract process with T.codes..?urgent

Hi
can anybody explain me ,
what are all procedures to be followed to carry Sub-contract process with T.codes.
From sub-contract PO to Subcontract challan output
Explain me step by step process with t.codes
Thanks
sap-mm

Hi,
Sub Contracting Process with t.codes are:
(1) You have create material in MM01(Finished Goods ,mat type FERT) that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM (CS01) with components (Raw Materials , Mat type ROH). Any waste generated as scraps or by products received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity or in % basis in the BOM in CS01.
(2) Create a subcontracting PO (ME21N, Item Category L). Maintain Purchase Info Record (ME11)for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components(Raw Materials) for SC PO(In ME2O directly or by MB1B with 541 Movement type). Material is sent to subcontractor. As material remains under your ownership, system does not make any value entry. But quantity is shown as "Material Provided to Vendor" .So no accounting document generated by supplying raw material to Sub Contracting Vendor.
(4) You receive (MIGO) finished material against SC-PO. You also specify components consumed in manufacturing of finished goods. Additionally, if you have negative components in BOM, now you'll also receive subcontracting by-products. There are three events, so three accounting entries are generated:
FG BSX acc. Debit Acc.
GR/IR Cle.acc. WRX acc. Credit Acc.
FRL Acc. Debit Acc.
BSV acc. Credit Acc.
BSX acc. of components Credit Acc.
GBB - VBO Acc. Debit acc.
PRD acc. Some time Credit &
Some time Debit
(5) Invoice Verification (MIRO) for SC Invoice.
(6) Payment in F-53
If you are activate Price Diff. Acc. for SC-Vendor in....
OLMB -
> GR -
> Price diff. acc.for SC order while you do GR for your Plant......then Price Diff. Acc. also will be trigered...
