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

Sub Contracting Operation Problem

Hi frnds,
I'm facing problem related with GL Account.
Dears I'm going to create Automatic Purchase Requsition for material which is manufactured Externally by Vendor but the RAW Material is given by us means I want to create Sub contracting PO and only paid service prices for manufacturing the material to vendor. For this
1. I create the PIR through TCODE ME11 with material
2. Maintain the PIR in Master Ricepe with Cost element.
3. Create Process Order & PR is generated but
When I trying to convert PR to PO, it show Error message that the assign GL Account is not correct at
the field Account Assignment.
I want to know at Account Assignment what GL Acc. will come to enter.
Parminder

Hi,
Hope the Acct *** Cat in the PR is F - Order Assigned PR.
pls try this out.
1. In OLME , check the Acct Modification key - say , VBR for the Acct *** Cat - F (Order)
2. In OBYC , pls check whether the Cost Element (say,400000) you have entered in master recipe is
mapped against - GBB - VBR - Valuation Class Combination.
Also ,pls let us know the Cost Element that you have entered in Master Recipe.

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.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/92/91a809a9d511d189090000e8323492/frameset.htm
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)

Inspection of sub contracted operation

Hi All,
I have the followin scenario..
We have 4 operations to be performed on the material. Say A,B,C & D.. Out of this 3rd operation (i.e.C) will be subcontracted after completing A & B in house.The 3rd operation is to be inspected at sub-contractors place before bringing it back to Plant for final operation- D.. Can some one explain how to go abt this via production order with the required settings starting from Matl master..

hi,
As per your requirement i hope system will create purchase order for the subcontract operation, while creating the purchase order itself sytem will create the inspection lot (source inspection) mannually or as per backround job setting
QI07 is the transaction mannually create source inspection lot
based on the purchase order reference system will create inspection lot and u can analysis the material of vendor location stock, once production process is completed u can receive the goods againts the subcontract purchase order operation at tht time u can decide whether system has to create inspection lot again or with the reference of source inspection lot u can receive the goods this can be controlled in Quality info record QI06
Activate the inspection type 0101 GR model inspection and 01 inspection type againts PO in the material master

Sub-contracting in routing

Hi,
i have one routing for my finished good with some 10 operations.the bom is simple with bar as input & Finished goods as output.
The first 3 & the 8th operation are mandatory sub-contracting operations & the rest could be in-house or external depending upon available capacity .
i have done the neceassary settings for mandatory s/c operations.
since the routing is for only one material,the MM Module is objecting as they need some material identification as it involves excise etc.My s/c operation is only for my operation,yes it involves material.But in single routing material codification cannot be done for wip stages.
Is this possible with 1 routing? or should i go with routing in each stage?
please advise
regards
afroz

Hi afroz
As ou need WIP at each stage and also involving excise and subcontracting I suggest you go for different Routing and BOMs.
for the first 3 and the 8th operation maintain the BOM for each operation with part identification at each level( different part nos) for operation 4-7 maintain 1 routing and BOM. You can get the WIP when you carryout operation wise confirmation. for the remaining operations you can have 1 Routing and BOM for Inhouse and also alternate BOMs at each level for subcontracting and maintatin the proc type X and maintain quota arrangement.
hope this helps

Problem in BOM explosion for a operation Sub Contract.

Hi All,
Please advise how to explode a BOM or Assign component in a Purchase order with Item category (L) for a Operation SubContract External Processing oriented material for which no material code is created from a Series Operation production order .
Actually in my scenario, no raw material component will send to the Sub -Contract Vendor. Only Assembled operation material lets say operation 20 from a routing ( which is not having material code ) from an In - house production from a shopfloor has to be sent to the vendor to create a operation 30 material , which is also not having a material code." How to explode a BOM or component allocation for the Non- codified Item in a PO".
regards,
YK

Hi
Change the control key of the operation to PP02. System will prompt u to PR data screen where u have to tick on Subcontracting checkbox. Enter other mandatory field like material grp, cost element, purchasing grp etc. On saving system will create PR with line items. System will trigger the components reqmt based on the assignment to operation. Example if for operation 20, materials M1 & M2 are assigned, then in the PR u will find M1, M2 in the component screen which u have to send to the vendor.
Hope it is clear to u.

Operation Sub-contracting

Hi Experts,
I need some clarity on operation sub-contracting.
My input material is A and out put material is B.
I have to do 4 operations to get B from A.
The second operation i am doing at sub-contractor's end.
I have assigned PP02 control key in the routing and i have given all Purchase info record details and cost element details.
I have created a production order during which Purchase Requisition has been created for the 2nd operation.
I have confirmed the first operation, the status updated in the production order.
When i am trying to convert the Pur. Req. to Purchase order, system is giving the error " No components could be found".
here my dought is,
1. Whether i need to create a seperate material code for the 2nd operation which is done outside.
2. When the first operation is confirmed, how will i get the stock to send the material outside?
Please thro' some light on this.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Dear,
Please check MRP2 view - Procurement type as X and Spl.procurement as 30?
Steps are as,
1.Create Purchase Info Record using T code ME11.(Vendor & material combination).
2.While creating routing for that header material and defining operation ,For the 20th operation(2nd 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.
3.After confirming 2nd operation using CO11N,now goto the production order in change mode using T code CO02,for operation no -2,double click on that & get the PR No.(from the external processing tab).
4.Convert this PR(Purchase requsition) into PO(Purchase order) using T code ME58 .
5.Send the material to the vendor using T code MB1B - Movement type - 541-Transfer posting to stock with Sub-contractor from unrestricted use stock.
6.Recieve the material from vendor using T code MIGO Movement type 101 -Good's Receipt for Purchase order into Warehouse/Stores.
7.Now you can confirm the 2nd operation & proceed for your other operation.

Sub contract in Project System

Dear PS Experts,
In our Manufacturing process max going on Sub Contracting only. for ex: There are 10 operation is going on there, the first process going throgh the Sub Contracting but here we are issuing material and power to contracter free of cost. How can we capture the this senario. After completation of this Process then 2 nd process is going on, then also we are giving some material and power to that Contractor for free of cost. How can we Calculate the Cost of each operartion and how can we allocate mateiral and power costs for each process wise. Can i have any inputs.

Sub-contracting: difference in Accounting

Hi guys,
I am using release 4.7 and we are discussing about 2 different ways to proceed sub-contracting.
1. Sub-contracting is handled only in MM: PR>PO>GR
2. Sub-contracting is handled as an external operation in routing:
Prod.Order>PR>PO>GR>Confirmation of Prod.Order
In particular we would like to understand the different impact these two ways of managing Sub-contracting have in accounting especially in Cost of production and in cost of goods sold.
Could you kindly give me some clarifications?
Thanks in advance
Vir

Hi Sunil,
there is a particular thing I forgot to say that is Material Ledger. In my company we implemented it and all stock materials are managed with standard control key.
So at the end of month there is Variances Analysis and Distribution to materials with multi-level strategy.
What I want to know is if both methods of Sub-contracting fullfil the requirements of cost of production and cost of goods sold reconciliation .
Your precious answer is grateful

Sub Contracting Query

Hi PP Gurus,
I am working on a Sub-Contracting Scenario.
Here we have a routing with 3 processes of which 2nd process is being sent outside to the vendor for processing. I have made following settings for the sub-contracting to take place.
1.     Purchasing view maintained for the components which are to be sent outside.
2.     Vendor details are available, including the Info record.
3.     Control key maintained PP02 for the 2nd Operation.
4.     In routing, in 2nd opn. I have maintained specific component which is assigned.
5.     IN MRP2 view of that material, have maintained Procurement Type u2018Xu2019 and Special procurement key as u201830u2019.
After releasing and saving the Production order it is not generating any Purchase Requisitions (PR) for me to create a PO for that.
Please help me understand that why is the sub-contracting not taking place based on the information mentioned above.
Thanks in advance,
Harris

Sir,
Thanks for the reply; it has helped me understand the scenario.
Just would like your explanation in my wordsu2026
My scenario
Suppose I have a FERT to be made say name:     FG1
It has BOM components:               SF1 & SF2
Routing it follows is:                    10 u2013 20 u2013 30
Opn 20 is to be Sub Contracted for Component SF2
As per your explanation
Mtrl master for component SF2 before opn 10 = SF2A
Mtrl master for component SF2 after opn 10    = SF2B (with Sub Contrc. F30 with Info Rec. and Vendor details)
BOM to be crtd. For SF2B calling SF2A.
BOM components for FG1 would now contain SF1 & SF2B
PO to be released for SF2B with material SF2A would be issued to the vendor.
Sub-contracting processes at Vendor
GR
Also, will the PR be generated for SF2B after I save the Production Order for FG1.
Kindly confirm the above. So that I can proceed as per your information.
Thanks sir,
Harris

MTO Discrete Manufacturing with multiple plants and sub-contracting

Dear PP Gurus,
I am facing a problem, pl. help me out.
My Scenario is as follows:
I am having 4 plants with Make-To-Order Discrete Manufacturing scenarieo .
Suppose to manufacture a particular Product , there are 10 operations.The first 4 operations are carried out in Plant A, 5th and 6th carried out in Plant B, Operations 7 is Sub-contracted to a Vendor. After the job-work from Vendor, the job returns back to Plant A and the remaining operations are carried out in Plant A.
The whole scenario has to be mapped into SAP. Please guide me from the very beginning( Masterdata maintenance). Also, what shud be the MRP( Single-item multilevel or anything else)
Your help is highly required by me.
Thanks in advance,
Soumyendu

Hi Sadhukhan,
For external processing in different company code, u need to specify PP02 in the routing for external vendor. In PP02 control key indicator must be set in external opn. Before that create purchase info record. Enter subcontract info record in routing. After running MRP , convert the PR to PO. Send the material by MB1B by 541 mvt. Receive the material by MIGO by 101 mvt.
Reward if useful.

Sub-contracting inforecord

Dear All,
I have a scenario where, after an operation in a routing, the next operation is sent for sub-contracting.After the operation is done by the sub-contracting vendor and the semifinished component is received,the operation cost is only to be captured for the s/c vendor.I have done this by creating an info record wihout material.But I need to send more than one components to the same s/c vendor and capture the operation cost,in this case could you suggest me way out,
Thanks in advance

How to calculate or capture the Sub-Contracting Charges

In CK13N, How the Sub-Contract rate is derived.
Kindly the tell the derivation methodlogy for SubContract Rate.
Thanks in advance
K.Natarajan

Dear Natarajan,
1.For Sub-sontracted products ,the cost of that product = Raw-materials cost (which are sent to the third
party) + External processing cost(as per the cost mantained in ME11 for sub-contracting).So if the raw
materials cost is Rs 10 & the processing charges are Rs 25 means then the sub-contracted product cost
= 10+25 = Rs 35.
2. For sub-contracted Product you will be getting only the sub-contracting cost and not the manufacturing
cost.It will be having only raw material cost and sub-contracting charges.
Or do you want in this way?say X is a sub-contracted part and its made up of raw materials X1 & X2 and
once X is received ,its used for manufacturing Y ,So if you check the cost of Y it will having the sub-
contacted item (X) cost + Internal processing cost (operation cost for producing Y),so if you check for Y it
should show the split up of internal activity cost + sub-contracting charges +raw materials cost ?
3.For your information,if you check CK13N for your finished product which is produced using the Sub-
contracted product,then after giving the input and press enter ,then press F5,now you will get the exact
split up in which you were looking for.like processing cost ,conversion cost + material cost.

Sub contract procedure

Hi ,
Please explain me the following scenario for that what are the things to be done
1.The finished material is subcontracted
2. Only one operation of the manufacturing process is sub contracting process?
Explain the material master setting , bom and routing setting.
Regards
Thamizhchelvan G

Hi
Since u r doing second operation as subcontracting; maintain control key in 2nd operation i.e. control key PP02 to be assigned in 2nd operation
Once you allocate PP02 to operation 20 ,the system will ask for the info record no (which is displayed when you create info record using ME11 under category "subcontracting")
Then after you confirm opr 10 using CO11N, the ext processing has to be started.
Go to opr overview in the prod order, choose opr 20 & double click.
Get the PR no. from the ext processing tab. Then convert into a PO usning ME58
You can send the raw matrl to the contractor using ME2O or MB1B (541 mvnt).
Then after the completion of sub -contracting work receive the semi-finished material using MIGO (101 movement for subcont material)
Then confirm oprn 20 & lastly MB31 for GR Posting
Reward & close if solved
