Issuing alternate maaterial in sub contratcing process

Hi,
In Subcontracting process here we are following outbound delivery process.
After creating a subcontracting PO in me2o out bound delivery will be created.
In Vl02n PGI will be done.
While doing PGI if material as per existing BOM is not there then they are issuing alternate material .
How we can address in SAP.
Kindly give some input regarding this issue
Thanks & regrads
Venkat

What do you mean by alternate material issued in case material as per bom not available? Do you mean if BOM material doesn't have stock then you use alternate material. If so it is not possible to transfer material to subcontractor wrt to purchase order.
when will you come to know that material have no stocks? if it is before outbound delivery then change the component in purchase order.
you can use alternate bom for this purpose.
also If alternate material and bom material having same characteristics then you can transfer stock from material to material using 309 movement type.
See subcontracting and Production versions
When processing a purchase document item (type subcontracting), the system determines the material BOM in accordance with the vendor you want to order from. These BOM versions of a material are stored in the material master as production versions. Individual production versions are linked to suppliers either in the quota arrangement or in the purchasing info record.
You order material M1 as item 10 of a subcontracting order. Different BOM versions are defined for this material, depending on whether you order the material from vendor X in the US or vendor Y in Japan.
Subcontracting vendor X in the US has almost all components in stock, and these meet the required standard, so the BOM contains only 1 component.
However, if you order from subcontracting vendor Y in Japan, you must provide 4 components, because this vendoru2019s components do not meet the standard for material M1.

Issues during Component Batch Determination for Process Orders

Hi,
I am encountering a strange issue during component batch determination of process order.
1. During creation of process order, when I execute batch determination, systems does determination based on strategies we have set and when I click on Copy it gives an error
"Log cannot be saved: Object/subobject not specified"
Message no. BL201
*Diagnosis
Log save cancelled because at least one log contains no object or subobject.
Object and subobject are needed to classify application logs because there are several log types. Only a few logs are managed in main memory at runtime, so this classification is not needed.
If the logs are to be saved in the database, object/subobject must be specified for later retrieval.
Procedure for System Administration
Object/sub object can be passed when a log is created (function module BAL_LOG_CREATE) and changed with BAL_LOG_CHANGE.
The possible values for object and sub object must be configured in transaction SLG0.*
If I save the order with CRTD status and come back again in change mode and do determination, It works fine.
Again when the order is in REL status and do the determination, It gives the same error.
This happens only for a specific plant, In other plants batch determination works in all scenarios.
I checked for all plant related Config for batch determination and coudn't find any discrepancies.
Please advise how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance for your help

Aheesh

There Is no direct solution for your requirement just try this work around.
While defining the batch determination search strategy for process order in COB1, there is one column Quantity proposal where you can attach the Routines (This is written in ABAB code ) make use of this, define New Routines with ABAB help to fulfill your requirement. Try this if found useful award full points.

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...

Delivery order for sub-contract processing scenario

Hi experts,
We got a requirement from our users to sub-contract certain production processing steps (or called external processing per SAP). Same part number would be used for the goods issue and goods receipt. But would like to make the delivery for the goods issuing as the delivery for normal sales parts. (Purchase order -> Delivery order -> Shipping and Packing)
Sub-contract processing will generate purchase order like service order which only contains service fee item, and we found that no outbound delivery order can be created with reference to purchase order in standard SAP.
Have you experienced such scenario before and could share to us please?
Regards

When moving subcontracting part to your subcontractor you can do it via:
1. simple goods movement
2. delivery
1 Simple goods movement (transfer posting)
- /w reference to PO (MB1B + 541)
- w/o reference to PO (MB1B / MIGO + 541)
2 Delivery
Using the before mentioned ME2O you can create the delivery w/o reference to PO
Please note that even if you use the MB1B541PO reference solution, system just suggests the component qunantity on the PO w/o making a real link between PO and goods movement. You can example do the MB1B541PO reference "as many times" as you want...
So, as per my best knowledge there's no solution for your requirement.
I guess one reason of system's behaviour might be that provision of compoenents doesn't depend on one single PO - if you want to reduce your shipment cost you will send out lots of components at once, more than the amount needed for one call-off.

Sub contracting Process ( MTO)

Dear All,
One of the my client using Sub contractig process MTO.Defined process like
1. Create process order based on Sales order ( Auto PR generate)
2. Sub contracting purchase order creation agaisnt PR
3. Material consumption againt 261 Movement
4. GR for service expenses
5. Process settlement for 101 Finished goods.
Now my business would want consumption posting along with GR ! But we sre unable to transfer goods ( Sales order assigned stock ) to Vendor SC stock through 541 Movement type. Is there any special way to transfer the same ?
Rgds
Suma

Hi,
The process we have used is and suggested by SAP is-
Prerequisite:
-Create vendor's place as a storage location.
-assign 311 E,312E, 543 E to movt type grouping for subcontracting challan.
- Make vendor field(LIFNR) mandatory at MB1B 311 E .
Process:
1 Create PO for material. with item category L
2 transfer the goods through 311 E to storage location created for vendor's stock.
3 Create Subcontracting challan with reference to 311E material document.
4 Make GR after goods recieved from vendor.
5 Consumption will follow from storage location against PO.(need to give vendor's storage location for consuming material)

Shortage qty - sub-contract process

hi,
In sub-contract process:
Vendor suppose to return - 10 qty
but, we received only 8 qty.
Vendor has accepted to pay For shortage 2 qty.
1. How to address the above scenario?. (exciseable material)
reg
mrs

Dear ,
case 1) IF GR NOT DONE YET:
do the GR and , at the time of GR increase consumption qty.from 8 to 10.
that means u have comsumed more than required .then raise the debit note for loss.
reconcille the challan by the same GR doc and complete the same.
Case 2)IF GR is allready done.
reconcille the challan by GR document,then do 542 for remainning 2 qty.re4concille the challan by dat document.and complete the challan.
then take a physical inventory of that material for perticular storage location and post the negative difference .syatem showa that as a loss for u then raise the debit note for the same.

Thanks to all of us for answers !!
We solved problem as mentioned !
1. Created separate SFG Stock change over subcontracting GL account and assigned same in OBYC - BSV & profit centre wise internal order defaulted in OKB9 settings.Also created sub contracting expenses GL and assigned OKB9 profit centre wise. ( Problem has been solved with separate GL account of stock change over)
It can be possible to solve with using of substituion GGB0 with module pool RGGB0*

Sub Contract Process

Dear Experts,
I need to complete a sub contract sales process in SAP.
My requirement is
We will dispatch Rawmaterial ex: 10000 TON to sub contractor who will process the Raw material and will supply us back ex: 6000 TON of finished good.
I tried completing this process through standard SAP process
(1 ) Creation of 3rd party sales order
2) Creation of 3rd party PO against the PR number generated from sales order
3) Stock transfer through MB1B
4) GR through MIGO
My issue since I have tp dispatch TONs of raw material, I need a system to record all the good moevemnt truck by truck.
ex: Against a PO 30 truck dispatched, but through MB1B i am able to do only bulk.
Please guide on how I can include this process alsoin SAP.
Thanks.

you try to achieve this?
- Create a PO for 100000 Ton of material.
- This should be carried/transported by 30 trucks/dispatches to the Subcontractor.
- Create a goods Issue to Subcontractor
The conversion of base unit of measure seems a bit complex here due to the variance in truck weight ( one truck can be loaded 1 Ton and a second truck be loaded 3 ton).
Are these trucks leaving the plant at the same time/day?
Do you need to issue goods on a per truck basis, or can you do it on weight basis?
regards
Sidi

Nominated Sub-contract processing in SAP?

Hi,
Nominated sub-contract is a common practice in construction industry. The definition is u201CThe Principal independently invites tenders for the work under a subcontract, negotiates the subcontract and directs the main contractor to enter into a subcontract with the Nominated Subcontractor selected on terms and conditions negotiated by the principalu201D. Below is some reference.
http://www.set.ait.ac.th/courses/ce7022/law/Contents/law_102.htm
http://www.constructionweblinks.com/Resources/Industry_Reports__Newsletters/Sep_05_2005/nomi.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcontractor
http://www.hklii.org/hk/legis/en/ord/57/s43a.html
http://www.cmguide.org/archives/315
Assuming our company is the principal that will award contract and sub-contract to main-contractor and nominated sub-contractor respectively, and Payment will be settled in the main contract?
Can SAP support the process from initiation to issue of sub-contract to nominated sub-contractor while ensuring no subsequent goods receipt, LIV, payment?
How to maintain the relationship between main and sub-contract in SAP so that any variation order of sub-contract can be reflected in the main contract?

Dennis

Issue in implementing Dynamic participant chooser process Step

I am facing issue in implementing Participant chooser process Step.
I want to create dynamic Participant chooser process Step, I have implemented 'ParticipantStepChooser' class and overwrote 'getParticipant' method. But this process did not appear in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown in CQ5.6 environment.
I deployed same code in CQ5.5 and process appeared in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown.
This is the sample code which I have used:
@Component(immediate = true, metatype = true, label = "DMP Config Service123")
@Service
@Properties({
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, value = "A sample implementation of a dynamic participant chooser.", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR, value = "Adobe", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = ParticipantStepChooser.SERVICE_PROPERTY_LABEL, value = "******** Hello ********", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = "immediate" , value = "true", propertyPrivate=true)
public class MyDynamicParticipant implements ParticipantStepChooser {
    private static final String TYPE_JCR_PATH = "JCR_PATH";
    @Activate
void activate(ComponentContext context) {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), " ");
    public String getParticipant(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), "inside getParticipant method{} ");
        WorkflowData workflowData = workItem.getWorkflowData();
        if (workflowData.getPayloadType().equals(TYPE_JCR_PATH)) {
String path = workflowData.getPayload().toString();
String pathFromArgument = args.get("PROCESS_ARGS", String.class);
if (pathFromArgument != null && path.startsWith(pathFromArgument)) {
return "admin";
        return "administrators";

Qty Contract Issue - Completed but Status still "Being Processed"

Hello,
I need help with a situation I am encountering. This is AFS specific.
Create QTY Contract for 100. Both the item and schedule like have completion rule "B" and the copy control between contract and order has document flow set to "2" and positive.
Scenario 1:
If I create a call off order for exactly 100 (same grid value), the contract is correctly set to COMPLETE.
Scenario 2:
If I create a call off order for 50 and another call off order for 50, the contract status is BEING PROCESSED.
We need the contract status in the second scenario to be changed to "COMPLETED".
Thank you,
Siobhan

Hai Siobhan,
In our system i created similar contract and sales orders, but both are showing completed only.
1. Can you check again with complete cycle up-to invoice.
2. After creating 50 + 50 two orders, Check whether system is allowing to create further more orders
Please post the updates of the issue.
Regards,
Mani

Sub Contracting Process

my client running fg sub contracting (electro plating )cycle through the MRP
after return from vendor with mvt type 105 (543) i check document list with MB51. i found following g/l account effects :
SFG consumption for sub contract account = 602026
Gr/IR Clearing Account = 164335
SFG-inventory account = 323055
for sub contract account = 602130
Inventory account = 320010
Costs of goods mfg = 602200
but if do whole sub contracting cycle without MRP i can see effect in following G/L a/C:
Manual Cycle .
Inventory account = 320010
Gr/IR Clearing Account = 164335
Price Differance Account = 602155
change in stock = 603010
Sub Contract expense = 603000
SFG-inventory account = 323055
SFG consumption for sub contract account = 602026
my question is why this differance comes ?
if i want gl accounts hit by manual process in MRP process what changes to be made ?

Hi
Kindly check with the following:
In customizing for that plant price differences should or not be posted during GR.
SPRO->IMG>MM>Inv MGmt>GR-->price differences for subcontracting at GR
Thanks
