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

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

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.

Sub-Contracting where BOM contains NLAG's

Hi All,
We currently are using the Sub-contracting process but we have an issue with adding a material of type NLAG to the Bill of Materials.
We are getting the error message " Material type NLAG cannot be used with item category L"
If i remove the Inventory Mgmt checkbox in the Item categories table it will allow me to add the material to the BOM.
Is this the only way around this and could it have any possible detrimental side-effects?
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

Hi vikrama,
Thanks for your response. I have done what you said and added the NLAG's using the item category N. However I have another query on this.
If I go through the sub-contracting process of creating a Sales Order which creates a Purchase Req which we convert into a PO, the NLAG components are not visible in the PO.
However if I create a PO direct, all the components of the BOM are visible.
Does anyone have any ideas why this may be so?
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

Hi,
When you order for the FG material in the Subcon Po you need to mention the Components(BOM will be included with SFG, ROH, Packing material)
When you do the GR following entry will happen in the system
FG or SFG receipt from sub contractor
Consumption of raw material(ROH) account   Dr
Inventory account raw material(RoH)          Cr
Conversion charges                                     Dr
GR/IR clearing                                            Cr
FG Stock account (FERT or FG)                 Dr
Cost of goods manufactured                        Cr
On invoice verification of subcontractor invoice
Conversion charges clearing ac          Dr
Vendor account                                Cr

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

Sub contract

my client running fg sub contracting (electro plating )cycle through the MRP
after return from vendor with mvt type 105 (543) i check document list with MB51. i found following g/l account effects :
SFG consumption for sub contract account = 602026
Gr/IR Clearing Account = 164335
SFG-inventory account = 323055
for sub contract account = 602130
Inventory account = 320010
Costs of goods mfg = 602200
but if do whole sub contracting cycle without MRP i can see effect in following G/L a/C:
Manual Cycle .
Inventory account = 320010
Gr/IR Clearing Account = 164335
Price Differance Account = 602155
change in stock = 603010
Sub Contract expense = 603000
SFG-inventory account = 323055
SFG consumption for sub contract account = 602026
my question is why this differance comes ?
if i want gl accounts hit by manual process in MRP process what changes to be made ?

Hi,
Price diffrences arise during valuation @ GR if the material is managed at standard price in MMR.
Also there is one more setting in customizing that for a plant that price differences should or not be posted during GR.

Quantity reconcilation of sub-contracting challan error

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem while doing Quantity reconcilation of sub-contracting challan.
Challan material is different from material document
Message no. 8I572
Thanks in advance

hi..
please go to spro>log general>tax on goods movement>india>business transaction>subcontracting>maintain movment type group
and maintain as given
0001 102
0001 122
0001 541
0001 544 O
0002 542
0002 543 O
and
Also This can be solved as under. ( check for following also)
You will have to activate PO number as a required field for 541 mvmt.
Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory ->
Goods Issue / Transfer Postings -> Define Screen Layout.
For movement type 541 the purchase order field has to be maintained as
an optional entry or as a required entry here. (under normal condition it will be suppressed)
This has not been done, otherwise the error message would appear as the mseg-ebeln would not hold the PO number.
After doing this carryout a new cycle. you will not get any error.
