Standard Cost Estimate for Subcontracting

Question

Dear Sir / Madam,
We are in the process of migrating from our normal R/3 operations for Production Planning to Execution inclusive of Costing of materials by using iPPE functionality for repetitive scenario. We have our BOMs for painted body currently in R/3. The painted body falls under subcontracting scenario.
In this scenario the body in white produced from our bodyshop is sent out to the subcontractor along with certain paint items and is received as painted body and consumption of the body in white and the paint items sent needs to be shown during the goods receipt of painted body.
For this we have maintained the BOM for the painted body in iPPE. Also in the costing variant "ZD01" in order to arrive at Standard cost (CK11N) for the painted body we have maintained the following settings for Valuation variant for subcontracting :
Priority     Strategy Sequence     
1          Net Quotation Price
2          Effective Price from Purchase Order
While running CK11N for the material (painted body) we are receiving the following message
Message no. 28501 : Error in dependency processing: condition 0000062388 is empty
We wanted to verify whether the message raised is normal or would it have any adverse impact.
Your assistance would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Bhavika

Dear All,
Control Key is important for inhouse producrtion and Sub Contract.  Check it once and when ever u have given the Product (semi fisished) to Sub Contractor, along with Paint. 
Here one thing is important what is your process? how much portionis involced in Sub contracting.  why because
Paint issue to the sub con is captured by the way for migo or miro
Payment to sub contract is capture all the cost of the Sub Con., then is there any cost is missed for this process.  Let me know the remain things?
