Sub-Contracting for Make to Order

Hi all
We are having Make to Order Scenario. We have created a sales order and some materials for BOM have to send for Sub-Contracting Process.
I have created a PO with Acct Assignment "E - Ind. cust. w. KD-CO" and Item Category as "L".
But as per Standard SAP Acct Assgnmt "E" and Item Category "L" is not possible.
Consider the Header material is "X " and Component is "Y".
I am having Material "Y " in Sale Order Stock. Now when i do MB1B using 541 mvmgt type the system is not allowing me to post .
please suggest me this scenario how to proceed.
<b>For a Make to Order scenario how to do Sub-contracting Process.</b>
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
For transfering sale order stock to sub-contractor the movement type is 311-E. Here, you have to create the sub-contractor storage location & then transfer the stock (of BOM material) to sub-contractor storage location by movement type 311-E in transaction MB1B. While posting GRN of the upper material, system posts the consumption of the BOM material against the upper material.
Hope this works.

Creation of Sub Contracting PO through Maintenance Order

Dear All,
I am aware of the sub contracting indicator to be cliked in the maintenance order in order for the system to generate a Sub Contracting PO through Maintenance Order. However I am unable to see this indicator in maintenance order fields.
Is there anything that I am missing in customising settings or is this related to activation of any business function sets.
I am working in ECC 6.0 EhP 5.0.
Need your help / inputs so as to resolve my issue.
Thanks in advance.
JK

Hi Tehsin,
Thanks for ur response.
However this is something I am aware of. The settings suggested by you will automatically generate a PR with Account Assignemnt Category as 'Order' (F) & Item Category as 'Service' (D) combination.
I am looking for the auto generation of PR through the maintenance order with Account Assignemnt Category as 'Order' (F) & Item Category as 'Sub Contracting' (L) combination.
Looking forward to hear from all.
Thanks in advance

Condition P101 for make-to-order

For stock transport orders, you can use condition type P101 to pull the standard cost of the shipping plant into the purchase order. Is there a similar condition type or routine that can be used for make-to-order product where we can pull the value from the EBEW table of the shipping plant?
thanks,

Item category determination for make to order item

Hi experts,
how can I determine item category(tak) for make-to-order. mean what should I put in ITEM CAT.GRP, USAGE AND HIGHER LEVEL ITEM CATEGORY GROUP. Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Neel,
Goto VOV4 and create new entry with
your sales doc type + itm cat group + usage + higher leve item cat = TAK
Just check your item cat group in material. If you have created TAK without copy then also check your SL assignment with VOV5.

Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
Tks !

I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
Tks

Serial Number assignment in Delivery Note for Make-to-order

Hi experts,
In our current design, we have made it obligatory to enter the serial number in the delivery note for make
to order stocks.
We are also implementing PP and we would like to capture
the serial number specified in the production order and
automatically populate the serial number in the delivery.
Any suggestions on how I can do this is greatly appreciated.

Hi Karun,
Thank you for your kind advice all the time.
I have been looking into it but the LIPS structure does not contain the serial number field...
I have been looking for the routine in the copy control
but have no luck finding such routine...
Thanks for your continuous help and assistance.

Explanation on use of Strategies for Make to Order/ Make to stock scenario

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario. In the BOM, the final Finished Product was to be made for make to order. There are two semi finished material below that. One I want to use it for make to stock and another for make to order. There is one more raw material at the bottom level which I want for make to stock. So I want to know what are the strategies I can use in the material master at all the levels for this scenario. Can anyone explain how can I do it in SAP?
Regards,
Brijesh

Dear Brijesh,
This indicator will determine the component how it should get produced either individually or collectively
Example
Fert 1 - strategy 20, requirement for this fert Via sales order is 10
Fert 2 - strategy 40 requirement for this fert Via sales order/demand management is 10
ROH is used in both Ferts and mainatined in BOM and also set to indicator 2 ( Colletive ) in MMR
ROH requiement for fert 1 -1 ( BOM )
ROH requiement for fert 2 -1 ( BOM )
after MRP system will create only 1 PR for total qty 20
If ROH is set to 1 ( individually ) then
after MRP system will create 2 PR's as 10 each
Hope it answers your query

Invoice Correction Requests for Make to Order

Dear Gurus
I am creating an Invoice Correction Request for an Invoice which was generated for Make to Order material. I am using Document type RK . I can save Invoice correction Request. But when I generate a Credit Memo it gives message that
000010 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000010)
000020 "Create billing document" not allowed (Sys. status Cost, object VB0060000100000020)
It should not ask for costing here in Credit memo Request.
Even if I do costing for Line 20 it copies only Line 20 in Credit note which gives wrong calculation. Because I cannot change line 10 in Invoice Correction Request.
Pl can you advise whether costing is required in Credit memo request. If not how can I handle this scenario.

Hi,
Just check if you attached status profile to either your sales order header or item.
Just release that first and try again.
Let me know if it helps.

User Steps for Make to Order & Make to Stock

Hi Sapians,
Please guide me as to the users steps to be done in product costing for make to order & make to stock.
Regards,
Viki
Moderator: Please, read the rules of SDN before posting. You can search for Wiki material or explore help.sap.com for basic process description

Hi there,
Make to order is when you manufacture or procure the material only upon order. Stocks are not maintained for those items in the storage loc. As & when the order comes, a production run is triggered through MRP. After the production, stock is posted as reserved sales order stock. Stock is then made available to fulfill the delivery.
Other items are make to stock. Usually for fast moving or consumer goods, stocks are always mainatined in the plant storage loc. As & when the order comes, availability check is done. If stock is available to meet the delivery date, delivery is proceesed or a confirmed delievry date is proposed basing on the replenishment lead time in availability check.

Mrp for make to order scenario

hi gurus,
I have got a different and challenging scenario in make to order planning. production planning has to be made on sales order basis.for eg : a particular finished product, a sale order of 100 nos is generated. but all 100 nos cannot be produced in single plant. so it has to be distributed to 2-3 plants. one more thing is, for make to order scenario, there is no fixed lot size. based on sale order quantity, planned order is created irrespective of fixed lot size maintained in material master. IF my batch size is fixed, for make to order also based on fixed based size, planned order has to be created.
Can anybody suggest a better solution for this scenario?
Thank you all in advance. all useful replies will be rewarded.
regards,
senthil

Hello,
For MTO, Lot for Lot order quantity is defaulted..
So your receipt element will be as per your Sales Order.
Try this:
In T. Code : OMI4, for Lot Size : EX
Change the MTO Lot size to "1" Lot-for-Lot with rounding.
(Which is Blank by default - lot-for-lot)
Maitain the Rounding Value in MRP-1 Screen or Use Rounding Profile..
This Helps..

Sub Contracting for Production Order

Hi All,
Scenario is like this, I release Production order & deicde to sent it to sub contracting & PO Created is wth Acct assignment F with no material master.
after this how do i account sub-contacting bills with MIGO i'm not able to make a GR.
should i maintain a material master in purchase order, how do i send material to sub-contractor.
Regards

Hi,
You have to maintain material master for both - Ordered Material & the material in the BOM of ordered material. Also you have to maintain procurement key as X - Both procurement types possible. When the planned order is created for the final product, you can convert the Planned order to PR with item category L - Sub Contracting, system prompts the material to be supplied to subcontractor in Material Component list (BOM Material). You may transfer the material to the sub-contractor via transfer posting (MB1B) movement type 541. When you post GR for final product, the BOM material is consumed for the Final product via movement 543.
Hope the query is fulfiled.
Reward proper points if the answer is helpful.

Partial Production & Partial Sub contracting for halb material

Hi,
we have fert 1000 with halb 2000 and roh 3000. It's MTO Process and for fert i have selected collective indicator 2 and MRP Run with MD50. If halb 2000 stock is available it will be show as stock in md04 screen and if stock is not available we run mrp md03 for halb to genereate planned order. My client wants here to check the capacity availability to produce that halb..if it is available for say qty 1 then partially production order will be created and rest another qty say 1 more will be given to sub contract. In material master i have taken X as procurement type. when i am converting the planned order to purchase requsition i entered the item category as L with out any account assignment. I am not able to take goods receipt for sub contracted material because system is throwing error as account requires and assignment to co object. I also tried using account ssignment M but if do so the received sub contract material is shown against the sales order number stock..so again from there i need to trasfer to unrestriced for using to the header fert production order. I want the halb production order cost and subcontract cost to be accounted to sales order.
Some one Please help me. Answers will be rewarded.
John

Hi,
I believe your solution may be:
1) make settings that while you release the production order system checks the capacity availability, if there then release the order otherwise do not release the order.
2) I think you can go for production version option too where you can either go for external subcontracting or inhouse production.
3) I think you have project systems there. So the cost will definately go to the project if the requirement is against a WBS elememnt for the project & the settings in FICO module have done by your Fi person.

Sub-contracting for the Customer

Friends,
Here is one scenario where I need your suggestions
Scenario
Client A is subcontractor for their customer B
B receives 10 Components from A along with a subcontracting order from B to assemble material X (consisting of the 10 components supplied by Customer).
Part Number of the 10 components are also used by B for their other finished products which are sold against Customer Purchase Orders. This means they are Quantity and Value managed material. They are valuated material for them
Q1. How does B receive 10 components from A (T Code and movement type)
Q2. How do we prevent valuation of these 10 components in my plant. (Because the same part numbers are used by me and valuated in my plant)
Q3. Is there any implication if I include them in the BOM and the cost roll will not include the cost of those 10 components.
Thanks in advance for your response.

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.
Note:: At the Time of GR 543 Mvt is up dated for Raw Material.
Can anybody tell me how a process has to be given to subcontracting?
Suppose, I have 3 operations 1)weaving 2)dyeing 3)cutting & packing
if no 2 process (i.e Dyeing) has to be given to subcontracting, what process should i follow ?
The following process to be followed for subcontracting.
1. Item code(material master) to be created at the stage of before dyeing.
2. Item code(material master) to be created after Dyeing as subcontracted item.(F30)
3. Bill of material to be created for the material(2) calling for material(1)
4. Info record and source list to be created for material(2) with the corresponding vendor
5. PO to be released for material (2)
6.Along with PO the material(1) to be issued to vendor
7.On receipt of material when GR is made the stock with vendor will get updated.
How to Create a Subcontract Order?
To create a subcontract order, proceed as follows:
Enter the material you want to order and the item category for subcontracting (L) in the order item.
Press ENTER to display the screen for component processing.
Enter the components that the vendor requires to manufacture the product.
Please note:
u2013 You do not need to enter the date required for the components. This date is proposed by the system when you press ENTER.
It is calculated as follows:
Delivery date of the item - Planned delivery time
u2013 If you do not want the quantity of the components to be changed if the order quantity of the end product is altered, set the indicator Fixed quantity (column F).
u2013 You can determine whether the components are available on the date required by selecting Edit -> Availability check.
If you entered a bill of material as the material in the subcontract order, the components are created automatically.
If you want to determine the components in the bill of material at a later date (for example, if the bill of material is subsequently changed), choose Item -> Component -> New BOM explosion. The existing components are deleted and redetermined in the bill of material.
Save the purchase order.
Q1. How does B receive 10 components from A (T Code and movement type)
see above
Q2. How do we prevent valuation of these 10 components in my plant. (Because the same part numbers are used by me and valuated in my plant)
Use split valuation so for sub contracting compenent will be one valuation and other component is other value
Q3. Is there any implication if I include them in the BOM and the cost roll will not include the cost of those 10 components.
No, costing is depend how you do costing
