Answer 1

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.
