Operations Subcontracting

Hi,
Can anyone explain in Detail about the Process flow of Operations Subcontracting scenario ?
Also let me know the customizing settings that need to be maintained to map the process in SAP.
Thanks and Best Regards
Vijay

HI Vijay,
Follow step by step procedure for Operations subcontracting:
Subcontracting: Operation Wise:
10, 20 & 30 total 3 operations. 10& 30 are internal, i.e., in-house and Operation 20 is External i.e. sending material for external processing u2013 subcontracting
The control key PP02 meant for external processing is to be allocated to the operation 20 in the routing.
Once you allocate PP02, in the operation detail screen Activate Subcontracting, then system will ask for the Purchase info record no.
(Create Purchase Info Record TC: ME11, Give Details of Vendor, Purchase Organization, Plant and Select Subcontracting Press ENTER, maintain the required data)
Next MD61, MD02, MD04. Then after confirm Operation 10,
Then external processing has to be started.
Go to operation overview in the prod order, choose operation 20 & double click.
Get the Purchase Requisition number from the external processing tab. Then convert into Purchase Order. (Using TC: ME58)
Send the Material to the Subcontractor using TC: ME2O or TC: MB1B with Movement Type: 541.
Then receive Material from Subcontracting Vendor by using TC: MIGO with Movement Type: 101.
(Goods Receipt with Reference to Purchase Order)
Then confirm Operation 20 &
Continue with Operation 30, Confirm Operation 30. Do GR by TC: MB31 Movement Type: 101.

Error while creating PO in operation subcontracting

I am getting an Error while creating PO in operation subcontracting.When I'm trying to convert the purchase requisition for the operation in the routing into a Purchase order it gives me the error "Not possible to determine any components".Please guide me why I am getting this error. I have already assigned the component to the operation in the routing. I also have this component in stock. But no Idea why I'm getting this error

Hi Sam,
please check ,
Assign a recursive BOM for the material for which you want to create the purchase order .ie. create a BOM of mat say X having a component X and marking the indicator recursive ticked.
Please create the BOM which is valid much before the date of creating a purchase requisition .
And proceed for the creation of subcontract purchase requisition.
Please Revert back, if the problem is solved.

PR to PO conversion in operation subcontracting

Dear friends,
We are trying this scenario of operation subcontracting.
I have a semi - finish material SM01 on which i m carrying 5 operations. The 20th operation is sub contracting. I do not want to maintain a separate material for this operation. I have done all the necessary settings which are required. I m also getting a PR when a Production order is generated for operation 20.
Now the problem is when i go to convert this PR to PO in ME58 the system gives me an error, "Not possible to determine any components".
I do not understand where i have gone wrong.
The PR document type that is created is NB.
The PO does not take any material even if I try to maintain one.
What can be the possible solution.
Thanking all you for your kind assistance.

Hi pankaj
The concept is like that. You need to send a material out with gate pass to the vendor for that particular P.O.
You might have issued the material from stock for the previous operation so that you will not have a component for that operation. There may be two options.
Options 1) Create a dummy material with MRP type ND so that the planning will not happen and no plan order. keep stock through a movement type update. Allocate this component to the operation in your routing. If the external operations is pre defined.
Option 2 ) Create a dummy material with MRP type ND so that the planning will not happen and no plan order. keep stock through a movement type update. Include this component in P.O while converting from PR. If the external operations is not pre defined.
The component will now appear in ME 2O
Hope this is clear

Operational subcontracting scenario

We have a requirement in operation subcontracting.
In our production process some of the routing operations we are doing outside (external procurement). But the customer doesnu2019t want to create a Purchase Order for this process (each subcontracting requires a order and release). Since the number of operation level of subcontracting is more per day and they have contract with the subcontractor for the price for a year. Further they will send the order quantity by different schedule
Please suggest for the above situation which process we need to follow and what are all the master data requirement and the transaction data requirement in a frequent manner.
Regards
Sridharan

Create a Contract and then create a Subcontracting PO with reference to contract ( for a year )and assign the Component to be sent( Mostly Dummy Material)
And give the material description Similar to subcontractiong process.
& IN OPL8, Production order dependent parameter : Set The dependent reqmt/.reservation - Never, in General valid setting tab, this will restrict to create a PR while releasing Production order.
and follow the same process as per the existing process.
Note: IF you go to scheduling agreement for subcontracting You can't able to assign the component.

IST OPERATION SUBCONTRACTED WITH REFERENCE TO ORDER

Hello SAP Experts,
i am doing operation subcontractiing. My first operation is subcontracted. So, I have assigned PP02 control key to first operation and maintained external processing data for opration in routing. When i saved the order, for that operation PR gets generated.
Now, I converted PR into PO and assigned raw material that has to be send to vendor. By 541 mvt. type material is issued to vendor. When i do goods receipt in MIGO, system is not showing storage location field. I dont find material in stock anywhere.
But i can see quantity received in external processing tab of first operation in routing overveiw in order.HERE P.O is generated with reference to order.& it is in cost center.while confirming the second operation system will ask for storage location of material received from vendor.it ie not seen in mmbe.iam creating new code and it is assigned to second operation .
Then how can i issue the material from storage for second operation if it is not in stock?
How can i get stock of subcontracted material by MIGO?
Please help me.
regards,
RAHUL

Hi!,
When you say operation subcontracting, in SAP it is considered as a service you are recieving and hence there is no material movement involved in that because you are sending a WIP material and recieving a WIP material back. But as per indian requirements whenever a material is sent out side the factory premises, you need to send a challan alongwith that. To print a challan you need to have a material movement. This movement (541) happens in normal material subcontracting but not in operation subcontracting. To generate a material doc, you can send the raw material with 541 movement but on GR of the processed material just reverse that movement so that raw material will again come in the stock. Then issue that raw material on order with 261 movement.
I hope this will help in resolving your problem.

Uday

Operation SubContracting

Hi Folks,
We use Operation Subcontracting ( sending A & getting A back with some marking / coating ect ) PO (doc typ POIN ) without item cat L but with A/c assignement cat F against prod ord followed by MIGO -->103 , 104 if scrapping , 105 to receive the high-quality serviced items back.
Item in the PO doesnt contain any material only Mat group "Sublet Mach & Fab"..
Now today MIGO threw error "Part1 will not be done: TH BLANKS FOR BLACKENING -M/S MIKRON TOO does not exist Material Chapter ID table .....with E (Error) Message class 4F (Message class for India localization) Message number 167 " , while doing 105 unusually.
But if we receive the same with MB01 , it goes through without any error !!!!
What could go wrong in the process ? Any pointers would be highly appreciated....
Out of curiosity ,,,cant we achieve the same with Normal SubContracting ?? ...we are on a Support & Maint environment & above was set up by else...
Regards
Jamna

Hello,
If Material and chapter Id is not maintained in J1ID , then system will issue given error in MIGO.
You your creating Std PO for Sub vendor and receiving the goods , this means the perticular vendor can send material you,
Check "Exception Material excise rate " in J1ID,
maintain Plant , Blank material and Vendor in J1ID and check the process.

How to map operation subcontracting in a process order.

Dear Gurus,
How to map operation subcontracting in a process order.
there are five operations in a process after three operations the material is send to a subcontract for further processing(i.e the fourth) then it comes to the plant and the fifth operations completed
How can i map this process .
Thanking you in advance
Regards
Ram

Hi,
have you tried external operations in receipe. There you need to maintain all the procurement realted data for that particular operations that is done outside, and system creates PR for every process order that you release. However the material goes and comes in without any material number (as WIP).
If you want to have more control, create a part number before SC operations and afer SCoperations and then use subcontracting process in procurement.
The need determines which option you can go with.
cheers

IS the component is in project stock, then You can send to subcontractor, check Whether the stock is in project stock, or unrestricted,

Operation subcontracting in REM

Hi Experts,
Can we map operation subcontracting in REM. please help me out in mapping this as i know that we cant do in REM, But client is asking to do that.
I m working with MTS REM. Please help.
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
Check the following :
1. REM profile in Material master MRP4 view.
2. Control key in the routing/rate routing.
Both must match i.e if U have specified reporting point in the REM profile & not done so in the control key or vice versa, this error will appear.
The milestone is defined in the control key in the routing. Go to the operations tab in routing. Click on the control key field. U will find a host of std control keys.
Click on any std. control key say PP01.
Click on "detailed information".
In that U will see a field "confirmation". There U will find '1' - Milestone confirmation. This is another name for reporting point confirmation.
U must specify this 1 in Ur control key.
U can choose any of the std. keys or otherwise, create Ur own control key.
Please check and confirm.
Thanks and Regards

How can we manage the operations subcontracted in B1 ?

Good morning
How can we manage the operations subcontracted in B1?
For example.
I have a purchased item (a box A0001)
I must paint (Service Item P0001)
I have a finished product that I sell (The box painted A0002)
I have a BOM for this item which contains
A0001 + P00001
Can we have a floating price for article P0001?
Can we have a purchase order for the Item P0001 from a production order of item A0002 ?
etc. ...
I am a new French partner. My apologies if this issue already exists and then for my English .....

Can we have a floating price for article P0001?
P0001 being a service item would be defined as a standard cost item with Issue method backflush. In this case using a floating price might not be possible.
You could actually consider the quantity to be the price and define the price as 0.1 / any lowest mutiple and in the Production Order change the quantity to equal the total cost of painting.
Can we have a purchase order for the Item P0001 from a production order of item A0002 ?
P0001 if defined as a labor / service item cannot be purchased.

I m doing operation subcontracting . i that i m converting planned order

dear sir
i m doing operation subcontracting . i that i m converting planned order into prod order . i m facing error like Error or warning occurred during master data transfer (see ). plz explain whole opration sub contracting step by step

Dear,
Procedure
1. Create Purchase Info Record using T code ME11.(Vendor & material combination) for subcontracting.
2. While creating routing for that header material and defining operation, For the
10 to 40th operation for which outsourcing is given set the control key as
PP02.After entering the control key as PP02 ,press enter -the system asks you
for the purchasing info record no & check the tick mark for Sub-contracting. Here
give the number which u obtained while using T code ME11.
4) The moment you release the order system will create the PR for all external processing operations.
5) That material you can transfer to your subcontracting vendor by ME2O or you can post transfer posting.
6) In transfer posting you need to mention as a reference of Subcontracting PO, which you have already converted from SubPR.
7) In that transfer posting, system will automaticaly generate 541Mtyp.
8) You need to create SubCon Challan (J1IF01), for the material which you are sending outside of your plant.
9) You need to mention that material doc number in creating challan.
10) The same challan will be reconcilled after receipt of the material thru simple MIGO process.
11) Your challan should get reconcilled by J1IFQ. It will remove the stock from supplier end from your system.

Issue in mapping Operation subcontracting scenario

Hi all,
I will explain my scenario of subcontracting, i am getting issue when mapping the scenario in SAP.
Scenario: For manufasturing 1 SF my client require 4 operations. All the raw materials required will be issued in the first operation. After first operation he will send the product manufactured to outside vendor and again he receives it after some value additiion. He continues the next two steps and finally manufactures SF which inturn will be used to manufacture his FG.
Configuration: I have assigned a purchase info record in the operation detail. I have not given any WC to that operation because the cost should be captured only from the purchase order during the GR from vendor. After the confirmation of the first operation i am getting a purchase requisition for operation without a material.
Issue: I am not able to show the material which he is sending to the vendor as my purchase requisition doesnot contain any materials.
Please suggest me any possible solution to outcome this scenario.
Thanx in advance
Regards,
Krishna Chandra

Operational subcontracting

i have maintain control key pp02 for first operation.
i am working on make to order scenario with strategy 50 (planning without planning assembly). when i run mrp through md50, it creates plan orders for fg & sfg material.
2). purchase requisition will create only after sfg plan order gets converted in production order (customization). it shows reservation against sfg material.
3) when i do migo for rm po it directly consumed directly for sfg material.
when i go subcontracting po, screen shows account ***. cat. = F & item catagory= L. but no material assigning. is it a
standard procedure for SAP ?
please confirm .

Hi Yuvraj,
You are right pls check this also,
I Like to share with you my Subcontracting Steps:
You create the HALB material code, and you make it external procurement (F in standard) and with special procurement
key subcontracting (30 in standard) (enter these fields in material master mrp2 view). Then you can run MRP and create purchase order for the HALB material when needed, and send ROH material to the subcontractor for the purchase order and post goods receipt for HALB material and stock increases.
Please try and come back.
