External repair of customer equipments

Hello Folks,
Need help on following scenario:
Customer returns equipment for repair. Repair has to be done by external vendor.
We create a CS-order. Equipment get posted on sales-order-stock.
How does the process work to create a purchase order for repair at the external vendor out of CS-order.
There is no movement type to bring equipments from sales-order-stock to subcontracting stock. Any ideas for a simple workaround?
At the moment we have to post customer equipment first from sales-order-stock to unrestricted stock, create a PO for repair, post 541(unrest.--> subcontr. stock). After repair we do MIGO for PO and post 542(subcontr. stock --> unrest.) and unrestr. back to sales-order-stock.This is bloody annoying.
Is there not a simple way to bring the equipment from the CS-order directly to a vendor for repair and back to CS-order?
Many thanks for any ideas.
Sincerely
Mario

The customer sends the goods directly to Sales Org B, in another country.
Thanks

hi pravin,
1. Create all your materials being used for [Vendor in external services ]as non-valuated stock in MM and use them in MO .... for external services with PM03 cntrlkey .... you can run the MO external service cycle .... but component cost does not get involved in MO ... but issue is to remove material cost from services .... ? .... you can plan all such createria while creating services and cost in MM ...

Hai Dear
There is no sap functionality about this. But in another hand we could generate the Custom T code. Like Dialogue just keep the material document in header (refer only 541 movmenet). Thro Internal table generate the fields like vechile, transporter, remarks..Once you entered the docuemnt the line items, Qty sud appeare in t code line items.
there you can put the RGP, NRGP also. While saving the no has to generate , i mean gate pass no. Reconsilaion , reporting custom code also possible
The entire thing is work in SAP. talk with your abaper

Billing for External Services to Customer

Hi All,
Please advice how to bill customer for External Services like civil work etc.
My client uses services from external companies so if they have contract with customer for that,after completing the work they want to bill it to customer ,pls advice.
Muzamil

Muzamil,
If you are using projects, you can create an external or service activity depending upon whether you are entitling the vendor to perform some work or a service. Once you create and release the network activity, a purchase requisition is created, which then will be converted into a purchase order by your purchasing department. The purchase requisition/order commitment will appear on the network activity (project) and when the vendor sends you a goods receipt/invoice (depending on configuration), your project receives the cost. Then, depending on how you are billing your customer, you could incorporate these costs also into your customer billing.
If you need further explanation on billing, please write back with details about how you are billing your customers currently (if based on a project).
Regards,
Venkat.

External Data in Customs Declarations

Hello -
What BAdIs can be used to default external data from the Feeder System (but not from a PO, Inbound Delivery, or Goods Receipt document) into a GTS Customs Declaration?

Hi ,
There is way to default data from Feeder system , suppose you need data like Bill of Lading to be pushed on custom declaration in GTS
you can use BADi /SAPSLL/IFEX_MM0C_R3 which is called at time of GR to transfer Bill of Lading value in additional data ( this field is available in the structure of the Badi ) to GTS on customs declaration document and then use another BAdi /SAPSLL/CUHD_PROP to default the data to the particluar field where you want this to get defaulted.
Not sure this is what you looking for.

What is the best practice for External Repairing

Hi Experts,
When i go through the thread search I found there are so many way to repair a equipment exteranlly.But could we please tell me which is the best one(subcontracting/through refurbishment order).
AR
Edited by: Amit Rana on Mar 17, 2010 5:46 PM

I have a question recently that sounds something like yours. Did some research and here is what i gathers.
You have to look at what is need. Do you want to monitor the status and location of the faulty equipment out of your company? If all you need is to track the repair cost, you can do it directly from the original maintenance order. just create a PR, convert to PO. Receive the service and its done. This is pretty simple process to begin with.
If you want to monitor the equipment out of your company then you can do it the refurbishment (subcontracting) way. In this method, you treat the refurbishment work like a subcontracting job where you buy the repair service while providing the faulty equipment as material. If you are doing this, there are some pre-req:
1. ideally your material should have split valuation to reflect the different valuation at different condition.
2. Your material is serialized.
3. i am no MM expert but if your material need to be marked as sub-con material (if there is any MM expert here, pls help to explain this).
4. you use a normal work order and not a refurbishment order.
The process would be:
1. Create a normal work order with external activity (of type PM02). PR will be created.
2. Create PO from the PR.
3. GI the faulty part to the vendor against the PO.
4. GR the refurbished part.
5. Close the order (the usual TECO, settlement + Biz close).
With this subcontracting method, you can monitor the faulty eq. status via the subcon monitor (Tcode ADSUBCON).
The reason why you don't use a refurbishment order is with a refurbishment order, you GI the faulty parts to the refurbishment order. You can't monitor the status via ADSUBCON.
There are also a simpler way to go around this. You can use a refurbishment order. Fellow forumer Pete suggest that we can update user status of the equipment master. Pick up an un-use field to enter the vendor who is repairing.
Hope this helps.

Poor Repair and Customer Service - Ideapad U400

My system is an Ideapad U400, approximately 3 months old.
I am currently a student. Approximately 1 week into the semester (Jan. 31) my computer would no longer turn on. I immediately called their customer service number and was told that I would be receiving a box to send via fedex within a few days. On Feb 6. I had still not received a box to mail it and again called the technical support number to find out why. I was then told by a different representative that I would not receive a box, and that I should just take the box to a fedex store and they would send it out.
Thus, Feb. 6th my computer was sent to their repair center. As of Feb. 10th my repair was listed as being put on hold. I called their technical support number again Feb. 15th asking what the hold was for and for how long. Turns out the repair center does not have the part and is not schedule to get it until Feb. 24th.
I'm sorry, but as a student this kind of time frame for a repair is not acceptable. One of my classes is online as well, and this repair has been terribly inconvenient for me to get my work done seeing as how I need to balance working, classes, and now finding expanses of time to get to a campus lab to not only do my work, but even to check my email.
I have since been given a customer advocate who called today to let me know that things will be straightened out. Their only solution is to wait for the repair or replace my system (which can still take up to a week). This means that regardless of the solution chosen, I will still be without a computer for almost a month (from Jan. 31st forward).
Really all I want is a refund. I could get a computer right away and not have to continue to fight with this issue. Apparently refunds are only done within 30 days. If the motherboard had not crashed on a 3 month old computer, I wouldn't have given a refund a second thought. However, I don't think my request is out of line considering a 7-9 day repair has turned into a month.
Needless to say, I was quite satisfied with the company before this ordeal. If I called during business hours, I got FANTASTIC service on their technical support line. However, the way this repair is getting resolved, I am no longer a satisfied customer. I refuse to purchase another product from this company, and if I can I will be reselling the computer to another party once I receive the system back and purchasing a new laptop from a company I can trust to put my interest ahead of the fact that over 30 days have passed since receiving the system.

Love your statement! I am with you for a call to action 100%!
Landline may be expensive for the company; but, are we not paying
for this service?
Landline service is still required in numerous areas
and it is more secure than FIOS (still in its infancy). As stated by
many customers....mobile phones are the most unreliable for
emergencies (gray areas will cause dropped calls to no access).
For customers who have home security systems, medical systems.
Does it work with FIOS?

Subcontracting services to repair the customer material

Hello,
I need your help to the following scenario:
1. Company 1: I receive from our customer a material (the material belongs to him) to repair. Then I need to post it and the material needs to appear in the stock as material of the third partner in our company. The Nota Fiscal has the CFOP 5949, no taxes.
2. Company 1: Then, I pick up this material and send out to our supplier to make the repair. Nota Fiscal CFOP 5940, no taxes.
3. Company 2: As I'm also the supplier in another plant, I receive this material, make the repair and send it back to the customer, in the step 2. Nota Fiscal CFOP 5949, no taxes.
3.1. How to bill the aggregated costs? Because I needed to put new components and labour to make the repair.
4. Company 1: I receive the material repaired from the company 2.
5. Company 1: I send it back to the original customer and bill the service.
Overview:
Customer -> Company 1 -> Company 2 -
> Company 1 -
> Customer
material A / material A / material A + service X / material A + service X + Y
So, have you seeing this scenario before? How to do it in SAP? Which transactions? Process?
It is not industrialization process, due the fiscal incentives...
Thanks a lot by your help.

Hi,
There are two scenarios in your case. ONE is subcontracting and service procurement. First thing is you will receive material and get it repaired by another vendor send it to customer. In this you do GR for the material and raise subcontracting PO and send to the vendor. Receive the material after repair and send it to customer. You can do settings that the vendor itself can send the material directly to customer when the SC vedor box selected in PO.
Reseiving materiall and get it repaired and send back to customer can be treated as service procurement scenario. You can pay the tax for the service provided by you. For that you need to do some settings in Tax procedure. Thanking you.

Repair of customer owned equipment

Hi SAP Experts
Iu2019ve got a scenario which Iu2019m looking for an SAP solution for.
Sales Org A repairs customer owned equipment on behalf of its customers. But the repair is carried out in Sales Org B, located in a different country. After the repairs, Sales Org B bills Sales Org A, and Sales Org A in turn bills the customer for the cost of the repair work. How will this be handled in SAP?
Thanks

The customer sends the goods directly to Sales Org B, in another country.

Repair and Customer Service Nightmares

I have a verizon landline in a second home. Two years ago, it took 4 appointments before anyone actually showed up to install the landline. To date, the wire are still above ground on the road. One week ago (7/7/13) I received a call from my home security firm telling me they had lost contact with my unit, probably meaning the phone was out of order. I called Verizon after a few days on 7/11 to set up a service order. They were to come on 7/13 between 1:00 and 5:00. I told them I had no cell coverage at the home so they would not be able to reach me. They never showed. I had a friend call on my behalf and was told many things: they would be there; they had left multiple text messages on my cell phone (which of course I could not receive) and sent multiple e-mails. At 7:00 p.m. I left the house to go where I could get cell coverage and make a call. I called an agent and was told the email on file was incorrect; the agent who set up the appt put the letters AT (like @) in my email so my email read [email protected]. I was told this would be corrected on Sunday. On Sunday morning (7/14), I again asked a friend to call on my behalf and he was told I would have someone here by 1:00. To make matters worse, yesterday, the day of the original service, a service person called my cell looking for directions. I called him back and texted him but once I was back at the house, I could get no incoming cell texts or calls. I feel Verizon customer service is so very disjointed. I also believe customer service reps tell you anything to appease you and get you off the phone. The website is riddled with problems in connecting to a solution. Just today I got a message that I 'should contact my supervisor". ARE YOU KIDDING???? I have an existing order at my primary home to install FIOS on 7/26. I will most likely cancel this order, cancel my cell service when my contract is up and cancel the service at my second home once I secure a viable replacement. The problem is there is limited service here and Verizon knows this. I feel very cheated and appauled at the lack of customer care shown. I don't blame the individuals I spoke with; I blame Verizon management (hardly an appropriate word to use). I have spent an entire weekend trapped by Verizon with nothing to show for it. Consumers need to start speaking up and putting lousy companies out of business once and for all.

Love your statement! I am with you for a call to action 100%!
