Sending components on a PM03 task for subcontracting

Hi,
Is it possible to send components on a PM03 (external services) operation for subcontracting?
To be more clear: we've defined the following starting scenario's:
1) send an item for an analysis - positiontype L / PM02 operation
2) send an item for a modification directly - position type L / PM02 operation
Ad1:
The subcontractor might report back that the item sent needs to be overhauled or should be modified. In any way, a certain service (modification) should be carried out. This service is predefined in the system in a service master record. We currently process this service as a PM03 operation in the PM order and stipulates a service preq and PO. So send the item on PM02, add another line - PM03 - to handle to service. We do a GR on the PM02 operation and do a service entry sheet receipt for the service performed.
Ad2)
The item will be modified and shipped back. Only PM02 is applicable and only a GR will be performed.
The service / modification will be handled as a PM03 operation as the item is already at the subcontractor. Would it also be possible to only use a PM03 and add send the item on this PM03 operation as well? I.e. somehow combine position type S and L?
Or would material type Service (DIEN) be suitable for this?
Thanks for the suggestions.

Posting of Components made compulsory for Subcontracting Purchase orders

Hi
I am working in ECC 6.0. In case of Goods receipt for subcontracting Purchase Orders, does the child quantities automatically changes when i change the default quantity of Header material according to the BOM relation ? I found it is not happenning.Please inform is this standard?
Also i can post the documentfor header material without the components,by manually changing the quantities for Child items .Kindly give a me suggestion by which this can be controlled.
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
1.
The component changes as per the header material in MIGO when you want to do GR. Please take care that the components musn't be exploded when you change the qty of the BOM header material. If they are exploded, collapse them ("close the explosion"), after that change the qty of header material and when you explode the components again you should get the proper quantities (this button is in the line of BOM header material).
2.
As per my best knowledge, in standard system you cannot restrict/control the change of component quantities. The cause of it might be that the quantity of components may differ from the rates defined in the BOM and the user HAVE TO CHANGE the quantities as per the real consumption.
Solution might be training. If the user intentionally changes the component quantities, this is a HR issue..

What is standard task for sending notification

Is there any standard common workflow task which are using SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION for sending notification?

Hello,
As far as I am able to get a clear understanding of your question, there will not be a common task for the notifications. It depends on the scenario in which it is used. You can find a lot of standard tasks which use the SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION. Just use the where-used list of the business object in the business object builder to view the list.
It would be better if you could provide some more details as to what you are planning to do and other things so that the answers can help you.
Hope this will help.

Components are not getting consumed at the time of GRN for Subcontracting P

Dear All,
I hav created a Subcontracting PO and transfered the componenets
At the time of GRN for Finished Product, consumption of componets are not happening and GRN is getting posted
Please help me

Hello,
Have you created the subcontracting Purchase order or not? check , Item category "L" was available in Purchase order not?
I mean you are not getting the 543 movement type in MIGO transaction.
Follow below steps for subcontracting
Sub-contract business process:
You want to buy material from the supplier (processed material/ assembled item) , but for some reason (quality of certain item / price ) you will give some component to vendor .
Vendor shall process the item / use the item provided & supply the final item.
SAP process:
1.Create the finished goods material code.
2.Maintain the BOM for the material.
3.Create PO with item category as "L" .
4.Issue material to vendor with movement type 541
5.Receive the material against the PO with movement type 101.
6.MIRO to account for vendor's invoice for the service charge& material used by him.
Please check these steps are their in your PO or not?

Batch number issue when posting goods receipt for Subcontracting PO

Dear expert,
I always heard there will be issues while posting goods receipt for subcontracting PO. If the component is managered by batch.
No batch number will be proposed during PGR in MIGO...
I dont quite understand where is the issue??
My understanding:
We have batch managered components and End Product. All have batch numbers, then we PGI the stock to 'SC stock' via 541 movement type.
Then Vendor will finish the end product and send us back the end product.
We consumption the components use 543 O movement type? And GR the end product..
So while goods receipt, the sytem just need pick the existing batch number for both components and finish products..
Where are the issues???
Thanks.

Hi Hoo,
You are right!!
Setting of batch number determination has its importance in Mvt Type be it 541, 543....
The issue you might have observed would be with Batch Determination in Goods Issues which folks find it bit tough to achieve n make it work for them.

PO reference in GI document for Subcontracting PO

Hi Experts,
Where I can find a reference of subcontracting Puchase order in the Goods Issue material document?
If I issue goods to the subcontractor against a subcontracting PO and when I display the document then I cant find PO reference anywhere in this document and not even in PO history.
Please let me know wher i can get this reference?
Regards
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
There is no reference for goods issue in subcontracting P O.
Only you have to send the matls.in MB1B with Mov type 541 for subcontracting which are attached to Subcontracting P O under Components.
Only you can display that matl document .
But you can not find any reference to P O & also it can not comes into P O History Tab.
You can check the report J1IFR for Challan List.

Account postings in GR & IR for Subcontracting

Hi Experts,
I need to know the account postings for both GR & IR during Sub contracting.
Let us take the scenario . .
PO price - 1000(Gross) + 200(Tax) = 1200 (Net) for 1 Qty
GR - PO Net Price due to Moving Average price.
IR - 1200(Gross) + 240 (Tax) = 1440
Please explain the accounting entries during Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt.

If Material has Price Control as "V" (MAP)
(BSX) Stock A/c of Assembly - Dr
(BSV) Change in Subcon Stock - Cr
(FRL) Subcontracting Charges - Dr
(WRX) GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr
(BSX) Stock A/c of Components - Cr
(GBB-VBO) Consumption A/c of Components - Dr
If Material has Price Control as "S" (Std. Price)
If Material is having Price Control as "S" then Price Difference A/c will also in picture.
This depends on configuration; SPRO > MM > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Goods Receipt > Price Differences for Subcontract Orders at Goods Receipt
Price Differences for Subcontract Orders at Goods Receipt
In this step, you configure for each valuation area whether price differences are generated for a Subcontract order at the time of a goods receipt if the manufactured material is managed at standard price and the standard price varies from the receipt value (externally performed service + value of components + delivery costs).
Example
Finished product: $400 (value at standard price)
Subcontract order:
o Ext. service : $250
o Components : $100
Posting schema without price differences:
Stock account FERT : 400 +
Stock change : 400 -
GR/IR clearing acct : 250 -
External service acct : 250 +
Compon. stock account : 100 -
Consumption account : 100 +
Posting schema with price differences:
Stock account FERT : 400 +
Stock change : 350 -
Price difference : 50 -
GR/IR clearing acct : 250 -
External service acct : 250 +
Compon. stock account : 100 -
Consumption account : 100 +

Sending an Email using Notification Task

Hi All,
How can we send an email using notification task?? Can someone provide me the steps to achieve this.
Is it possible to send email to multiple users at a time??
Thanks.

Good you're on 11.1.1.6. The link in Vlad and copied into my response should help then.
You'd fill in the fields for the to, from, subject, cc, message body using variable(s) you populated upstream in the process.
You're not there yet, but most people struggle (me included) getting the email server set up to send the emails once the process is deployed and running. Here are the steps:
In Enterprise Manager:
1. Expand "SOA" -> right mouse click "soa-infra" -> click "SOA Administration" -> click "Workflow Notification Properties".
2. Select "Email" from the Notification Mode dropdown and enter email adresses for the three fields.
3. Expand "User Message Service" -> right mouse click "usermessagingdriver-email" -> click "Email Driver Properties".
4. Scroll down until you see the email server properties -> enter the appropriate values in these fields: OutgoingMailServer, OutgoingUsername, OutgoingPassword.
Verify that the user(s) you want to send emails to have an email address set. If you are using the default WebLogic security, in the WebLogic Console:
5. Click "Security Realms" -> click "myrealm".
6. Click the "Users and Groups" tab -> click the "User" tab.
7. Click the user id of the user you will be sending email to.
8. Click the "Attributes" tab -> make sure the "mail" attribute has a valid email address. If it does not have an email address, once you have entered it, be sure to hit the Enter* key to have it stick in the field.

Doing the same task for different data.. Do I need Queues? How to use them if yes?

Hello all,
I have created a VI which is getting data from some FTP server and then after comparing with the HDD specified folder copy the missing data from the FTP ... Description is also in the VI. There are few things I need to ask.
1) The email sending VI gives error 1172..What could be the reason .. is it firewall.. or is there any mistake in the code?
2) As you people are experts so I really like any suggestion to improve the VI..
3) The most important .. Currently this VI can only perform the whole task for one FTP folder. Actually my task is I need to check for 4 different FTP folder on different servers..its not 4 different folder in one FTP .. its 4 different FTP.Now my question is how I can do this: First it compare and copy from FTP1.Then FTP2... and so on.. How can I change the data for the cluster for different FTPs? Do I need to use queues? If yes how because I don't have any experience with queues.
I will really appreciate is someone can either provide me the relevant example or can give me some idea.
The main VI is the 'TASK START'.VI please find the attached files.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your reply. I have understood your idea but there are few problems.
Please see the attached "Final test.vi".. actually my top level vi should be like this.. due to this reason I need to develop the cluster like one with name "Settings" as shown in Enum FTP events.vi.. In this cluster all the data types are not constants (but can be set as constants) and further all of them are not of same type so whenever I try to create as you created I have got error, wire broken..so what do you think i should do.. In this cluster there are different types of data .. string, path, numeric, array and a cluster with name file properties also... can't figure out what to do..I know things are little scattered and wiered but due to lack of experience, I guess, I am now a little bit confused for this matter. I
hope guys here in the forum will help me as you guys always did.

Problem in Posting of GR for Subcontracting PO Through MIGO

Hi All,
When I am posting 101 through MB01 for Subcontracting PO The system is creating three line items in Material Document( 101, <b>543 & 545</b> ) which is correct.
But if i am doing the same through MIGO it is posting three line items as (101, <b>543 & 543</b>) - Which is wrong.
I am using SAP R/3 4.7.
Please let me know if there is any OSS note to fix this.
Thanks a ton in advance.
-Nirupam

Hi,
I can't belive it....543 is showing Credit indicator and 545 is showing debit indicator. Which is perfect. So, when we receive a subcontracting PO, if at all there is any byproduct that is going to be received, it has to be either debit or credit (only one way) whether we receive from MB01 or MIGO. If you see 545 in MB01 that means, you are receiving by-products along with ....However, in MIGo you are showing only 543 (consumption of components).....Are you missing any by-products comingup in mIGO? Is the PO the same you are using in both MB01 and mIGO....very minimal differences in terms of functionality we may encouner between these two transactions but I strongly doubt about posting two different movements types for exactly the same data....I am not doubting you; just curious to work on such problem. Please cross verify again and let me know.

Hi:
        As per my understanding this happens when MIGO is done in case of a subcontracting PO
Stock-CS/RM                                     Dr
GR/IR Clear RM/PM/CS                             Cr
Inventory Change Sub-Cont RM     Dr
Ext Serv Sub-Cont                             Dr
Stock-CS/RM                                             Cr
Sub-Cont Cons RM                             Dr
Upon MIRO
Ext Serv Sub-Cont                             Cr
GR/IR Clear RM/PM/CS             Dr
Inv Change Sub-Cont RM     Dr
Vendor                                            Cr
Duties                                      Dr
Stock-CS/RM                                   Cr
Hence Inventory change account is cleared as soon as MIRO is done. Hope it will clear your understadning

Having multiple sender components send to one receiver component ?

Hi,
the scenario is XI Proxy - Integration server Mapping - Web service call.
Here is my situation, I have many sender components which all have names that start with F (exp : F01, F02, F03) , and others that have names that start with I (I01, I02, I03) ,
Basically , I'd like to make a receiver determination that looks like sender component = F* and another receiver determination where sender component = I* this way all requests comming from F senders go to receiver A and all requests from receiver I go to receiver B.
Any idea how to do this... ?
Thanks

Basically , I'd like to make a receiver determination that looks like sender component = F* and another receiver
determination where sender component = I* this way all requests comming from F senders go to receiver A and all
requests from receiver I go to receiver B.
My questions:
1) Will Sender component name come in the source payload i.e. some node contain F01 or I01?
2) Why are you stressing on Receiver Determination? (no need to answer this Q if answer to first is YES)
When you want to implement a condition for F* or I* then you should be using the Contains Pattern option from the middle operand of the Condition Editor.....for more info refer this wiki (check screenshot no.6):

MIGO: Default quantity for subcontracting component

According to OSS Note 329928, There is no component quantity adjustment in Transaction MIGO, except if you changed the quantity of the material produced for subcontracting before the first time it was opened.
The quantities that you saw are no longer changed automatically.
That causes a problem for us, because the people who updates materials just type in the quantity and don't verify if it goes correctly, so that is causing problems in the subcontracting process.
We checked and there is no BAdI or exit to do that, so we understand that the only solution is to disable the option to expand the subcontracting components. Now the question is: How to do this? Is there any customizing option? Or we'll have to treat it in the BAdI? Or would be better in a screen exit?
Thanks in advance!
Rafael Schaffer

Hi Rafael,
Did you find any solution?
We are having the same dificulty, but we need to control components quantity not only at MIGO but also at bapi BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
Please share your solution!
Thanks in advance,
