Planning for sub-contracted operations

Hi, Fininsh product X needs A,B,C raw materials to manufacture it 3 operations. operation1 needs material A, Operation2 needs material B, which is exernal operation and material B needs to send to sub-contractor to use while manufacturing and operation 3 needs material C to manufacture in-house. now we want to run mrp to plan material B also even though it is externaloperation. question is what the settings req for material B to plan and monitor the stock at our premises and vendor premises? how to issue material B to vendor? pls guide.

Hi,
As I understand:
MaterialB is assigned to operation 0020 and subcontractor sends it to you. If materialB is produced by the subcontractor, certainly it has some components from which it is produced.
I mean: subcontractor produce materialB from materialB*
1.
In this case you have to create (CS01) a BOM where:
header: materialB
children: materialB*
2. You also have to maintain procurement key F and special procurement key 30 for materialB (MM02, MRP2 view)
3. If you maintain the operation of materialB with the correct control key (PP03 in standard system), SAP will generate a PurReq at the moment you save your released PrdOrd.
By converting the the PurReq to PO you will see that the PO has materialB* in its component list that has to be provided to the vendor (you can do conversion in MD04 or via ME57/ME58 or ME59 based on your settings).
So, you have two (at least two) part number: materialB and materialB* and you also have to maintain your routing (CA02) properly.

If you do not want to mainatin two part numbers (like materialB and materialB*) you can create a recursive BOM where both header part and children part is materialB.
(using split valuation you can make difference between materialB processed by subcontractor and not processed by subcontractor)

Sub-contracting operation.

Hi, we have one sub-contracting operation in between in-house production order operations. For sub-contracting operation only the in-process semi finished material which is the result of previous operation will be sent to vendor. While I am trying to convert pr into po, gives the message that u201Cno component assignedu201D. Please note that no roh will be sent to vendor except that previous operation completed material for which we do not do gr for the previous operation. Please advise how to handle this. Thank you.

HI Raju,
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.

Sub Contract (operations) Cost Capturing in Product cost

Hi Guys,
I have a problem in cost capturing for sub contract opertaions.
Scenario is : I am working on product Costing. I want to caputure the cost of various product for various opeations, this I achived through activty type. But my problem is some of operations (for making the product) has been given to outsourcing through open PO and the payment to contractor is paying by unit rate(price rates are different for different operations).
Could anybody explain me the process or settings required to capture the cost of the product which my client is paying to outsource contractor.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
1. Please define that particular activity as external operation in routing
2. Flag it as subcontracting
3. Assign a Material Info record to this operation. Because the cost is picked up from Material info record in this scenario.
Just talk to your PP folks. They will definitely will guide you in Routing settings in this regard
Please award points suitably
Best Regards

Inbound delivery for Sub-Contracting Scheduling Agreement

Hi All,
I am working on inbound delivery creation --> PGR for sub-assembly (Semi-finished product) which we receive from sub-contracting vendor through scheduling agreement. At time of PGR, it should do MVT#101 for sub-assembly and 543-O for raw components.
I already created JIT/FRC releases and did PGI (MVT # 541-O) for raw components. Now I am manually creating inbound delivery (VL31n) to post PGR. When I am doing PGR with VL60, I am getting below error.
Any help or suggestion please ?
As observation, I have seen that in inbound delivery I am only seeing sub-assembly (semi-finished) product. I am not able see "SC Component" tab which I have seen on other environment (ECC 6.0 with EHP4). Is it related to system limitation where we can't do PGR for sub-contracting ?
Thanks.

Hi AKPT,
Sorry if i miss understood but note 352243 says to refer note: 338119
"In the current release, it is not possible to process the components to be cleared when you post the goods receipt for the inbound delivery. (See Notes 338119, 197864 and 199703 also).
However when you implement these corrections, the error log is also displayed for the subitems to be cleared and further processing can be carried as described in Note 338119."
When I refer note : 338119, there is no correction. Am I missing anything ?
Again my issue is I am not able to perform Post Goods Receipt. Even after doing PGR, if system do 543 for raw component, I am fine.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ravi

Swap between two different item categories in sales orders for sub-contracting

Dear gurus,
my requirement is to have the ability to swap between two different item categories for sales orders for sub-contracting.
This should be controlled by a combination of the material and a value maintained the Usage field in the Customer Material Info Record (for example by entering a ‘V’). A combination of Sales Doc Type, Item Cat Group and Usage should result in the creation of a purchase requisition.
In the event that a process order is required instead of a purchase requisition (i.e. the product is to be manufactured in-house instead of sub-contracted) the user must have the ability to change the Item Category within the sales order to produce a process order.
The user would just change the item category within the sales order, and the system would automatically remove the purchase requisition assigned to the SO, and create a process order and assign it to the SO.
Can you suggest any possible solution?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Majlo,
In my system, I checked. First created sales order with third party line item and then changed item category to normal item category.
Till Purchase order not created, I can change Item category of my sales order line item.
In this case SAP inform by log and once save delete purchase requisition of that line item .
For this you need to assign another item category as an manual item category in SPRO Item category assignment.
After this user can manually change item category to other one manually, if PO do not exist.
Please let me know if your query is different.
Regards

Error in GR for Sub-Contract PO

Hi,
When i carry out GR for Sub-Contract PO, system showing below message
Programming error: data already aggregated
Message no. AG223
Diagnosis
The material data for the document is already available in aggregated form in the internal tables. This means that it is not possible to call DELTA_MANAGEMENT for this document.

Are you using CATT or eCATT ?
If yes, This may raise error message AG223
Please read attached note 304122.
Transaction MIGO does not support CATT, which is based on CALL TRANSACTION / batch-input techniques.
Instead, use for example BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE or CALL FUNCTION 'MIGO_DIALOG' (see function documentation in SE37).
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

Restriction for sub contract PO creation

Dear expert,
We are having discrete manufacturing process,
Some assemblies are manufactured using production orders as well as Sub contract PO.
We are using split valuation.
Now our requirement is suppose one assembly has been assigned to Subcontract purchase order, then the system should not allow the creation of production order for that assembly.
How to map this scenerio?
Thanks in advance,
K. Subhash

Hi Shankar,
I have not tried in one company code, any way you can try this with creating another plant as subcontracting vendor & process in the same way how you process for sub contracting.
1) Create plant as sub-contracting vendor
2) create po with item category L
3) send components
4) receive materials.
but since it is within a company code check for legality involved with FI, you can customize special transaction key for this may be with movement types since it is within a company code, that is the reason i asked you is it within a co.code

Batch determination for Sub Contracting Purchase orders

Hi
I want to allocate automatic batch number while creating the Sub Contracting Purchase order (item cat: L).
System should dynamically allot the batch, no manual process.
This automatic batch number allocation should be work for sub contracting PO's not all Purchase orders.
Please suggest the process.
Thanks

Hi SUNIL,
I haven't done such thing so I'm nut sure whether it works what I'm writing, but according to the manual is it possible to assign automatic batch creation to movement types.
As I understood in SPRO you can:
1. Set the internal batch assignment:
Logistic General > Batch Management > Butch Number Assignment > Activate IBNA
2. Define the creation for the movement type you want:
Logistic General > Batch Management > Creation of New Batches > Define Batch Creation for Goods Movements
But I think you can't make difference between 'normal' MVT 101 and 'L' MVT 101. Isn't it possible to create a new MVT for subcon-GR?
In this case maybe you could realize your idea.
But defining a new MVT just because of thi might be troublesome...
Maybe you can find better solution.

541 & 543 Mvt for Sub Contract Process with Split Valuation

Hi all,
We have activated SPLIT VALUATION for sub contracting in ECC 6.0
We have clasified into 3 Valuation Catergories as New,Repaired & Faulty.
The logic & naming convention of the materials are
New Material : C1
Repaired : C2
Faulty : C3
The details are as.....a faulty material can be converted into Repaired by the external Vendors,for which we raise a PO and do MB1B with 541 mvt type with ref to this PO.
The Acing Entries are
PK      GL Code        Material     Value
99         117000         C3            10
89         117000         C2            100
93         600530                           90
While in process the GR w.r.t the above mentioned PO ,we are getting 6 accounting entries (which is delivered by Stand SAP) they are as
PK      GL Code       Descrip     Value
89         117000        Stock        100
96         117400        GR/IR         150
91         600530        Sub Cont    100
86         600863        Sub Service 150
99         117000        Stock          100
81         600530        Sub Cont     100
Can any please explain me how the system calculates the above Accounting Entry.
We are confused why the system calculates ( entries) for the 91,81,86 Posting Key.
I have uderstood that PK 89 for goods inward, 96 is for GR/IR clr, 99 is for reversal of 541 mvt type.
Other 3 entries i have the confusion ........
Can anyone please guide me and explain in detail how ,why andfrom where the system is calculating the entries.
Hope that you will help me in this regards
Take Care
God Bless

COPA Document for Sub-contracting Expenses

Hi,
We have executed the Sub Contracting Scenario. But we are not getting COPA document for Sub contracting Expenses. We are getting only Accounting & Controlling Documents..
What is the problem? why we are not getting the COPA document for this.. Please help us
Thanks
KC

HI
If you are talking of the processing charges GL account, it is assigned in the FRL key of OBYC
Check if you have assigned this GL in OKB9 or by some other way you have specified any default cost object to it in KA02
As far as I know, you cant specify cost object during MIGO for this... Check as mentioned above and get back if not resolved
In OKB9, tick "Prf Seg" if you wish to take this to COPA

MRP run for sub contracting plant

Hi all,
Please let me know if this scenario is possible:-
I have two plant A and B. A is manufacturing plant and B is sub contracting plant. For one FG I plant there is demand of 100. After MRP run planned order is created for 100 for FG. For raw material purchase requisition for 50 is created and delivering plant will be B.
In md04 for plant A I can see pur req for 50 and for plant B in md04 I can see 50 as stock requirement.
Now use wants that if MRP is run for plant B, it should generate planed order against stock requirement.
Strategy 11 we are using.
Please let me if it is possible
Regards,
D.Dutta

Hi ,
Cross plant planning is possible ( like Plant A & B) , no need to run MRP in two plants separately . but you need to the follow the following config .
1) Define special procurment key ( Spro> MRP> Master data --> Define spl procurement key)
You can copy standard key 40 , ( you have to defined supply plant and recving plant)
2) Identify the Materials which are to be cross plant planning and go to material master MRP 2 view and assign Speial procuremnt key
3) run MRP for FG in Plant A and down level MRP for RM/PM/SFG will be generated in plant B.
I hope this will help your requirement .
Thanks
