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

Sub-contract without BOM

Hi
How to create sub-contract without BOM..We want to create a subcontract for a customer return finished product .Even this Product have bom.We dont want to send any components with the FP.We want to send some service materials with this FM.How to do this in SAP?
Thanks
Nick

hi Nick,
have not tried in one company code, any way you can try this with creating another plant as subcontracting vendor & process in the same way how you process for sub contracting.
1) Create plant as sub-contracting vendor
2) create po with item category L
3) send components
4) receive materials.
but since it is within a company code check for legality involved with FI, you can customize special transaction key for this may be with movement types since it is within a company code, that is the reason i asked you is it within a co.code

BOM containing NLAG component

Hi All,
Our client wishes to add a material of type NLAG to a Bill of Material. However they want the NLAG to be set up for only the Basic Data views.
When I attempt to add the NLAG to the BOM, I am receiving the error message "Material x is not maintained in plant Y".
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to add a NLAG with only Basic Data views to a BOM?
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

Hi,
What Vachanala said is that you can insert a non stock item without material master into the BOM. In this case there's no point in speaking about the material type and views since it is only text.
So it won't solve the problem of your 'NLAG' component except you want to order your material w/o material master.
I'm afraid you cannot add a 'stock item' or 'non-stock item' to your plant-specific BOM if the component's material master record hasn't got any specific view for that plant.

Trading with Sub-Contracting Scenario

Dear All,
I have one requirement of Traded Material Scenario, where the material is delivered by Sub-Contractor directly to Customer.
The details are -
Sub-Contractor delivers material A to customer.
The material A has BOM maintained, where component B is maintained in the BOM.
My company purchases B from another Vendor & which is again directly supplied to Sub-Contractor. Sub-Contractor processes the component B to manufacture material A & delivers the same to my Customer.
The following issues need to be addressed -
1) Item category is L in Sub-Contracting, where as it is S in Third Party scenario. How can I have two item categories in same line item of Order.
2) Excise paid by Vendor (supplier of component B) can be availed by Sub-Contractor as set-off & I have to debit the same to Sub-Contractor, as payment to Vendor for component B is done by me.
3) Excise paid by Sub-Contractor is to be inventorized at my end (as it is cost to me) & can be availed for set-off by the customer.
Can anybody has any input for this?
Regards,
Prashant

I think this process was earlier called as 52 A operations.
This is what we had done 52A did not have requirement of jobwork challan)
1: Create the Subcontractor' Location as a "non excisable-Plant " in SAP.( The subcontract vendor was supposed to maintain his own excise records)
2.PO for raw material /Component will be raised from Subcon Plant .
3.The Excise in the PO will have to be configured as a Condition similar to VAT Deductible(so that during MIRO it is sent to another GL account for tracking and further FI-debit note to recover from jobworker )
4. The Production of the Main FG can be shown by Subcontracting PO .
5. There has to be another Virtual Plant ( A RG23D registerd depot normally) which will depict your companys local office near the Subcontractors Location , as the Final SALES Invoice should be from your companys Name.
6. Goods will first be sent by a STO to this Virtual Plant , here in This STO you can also add the Excise Duty condition types for Inventorization purpose.
7. Create Sales Invoice (and if RD23D then Depot invoice) from your Virtual Plant .( Excise invoice will be created by the subcontracting vendor , against which your customer can claim Modvat)
I have mentioned the Process above , for config settings of each process you can check many threads here in SDN.

Job Work (Reverse Scenario of Sub Contracting)

Hi Everybody,
Here is one scenario, I am sure, it will be mapped in Standard SAP, the scenario is like i am a job worker, I take the raw materials from the customer and create production order and use those raw materials supplied by the customers and charge the labour in the sales order, some times i even use some components from my stock for that also i will charge to the customer in the sales order, this is just opposite to sub contracting where i m purcahsing the labour and sending the raw materials out, this is the reverse i m taking the raw material and selling my labour, so i m basically the sub contract vendor
I want to take these material in my stock without value, at the same time i cannot create this materials as non valuated type as these material are used as valuated in other plants
If any one have any suggestion how to do in standard sap please let me know
i have one idea of vendor consignment, (Stock type K) but i m not sure how to map from sales order to production order, than take the raw materials from customer and use in the production.
If have any doubts about the scenario let me know
Thanks in advance

Hi Everybody,
Here i have one scenario, I am sure it will be mapped in Standard SAP, the scenario is like my company does job work( Reverse subcon) for others, we take the raw materials from the customer and create production and use those raw materials supplied by the customers and charge for the processing in the sales order, some times we even add some components(Products) from my stock for that also i will charge to the customer in the sales order.
We are only billing for additional components and processing & Packing charges.
Please tell me, how can i map the scenario whether i have to create to separate sales document for selling product and processing charges. Selling product case even store issue components to products therefore no delivery.
If any one have any suggestion on how to do in standard sap please let me know.
If any doubts about the scenario please let me know.
Thanks in advance

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.

Hi,
SAP help says you have to write the production version in the subcontracting info record:

Single BOM across multiple plants in sub-contracting

We have a single purchasing organisation managing sub-contracting for around 17 plants. This organisaiton purchases sub-contracted items for all the plants.
The problem we are facing is having to maintain the same BOM for all the 17 plants.
The central purchasing org is going to create the PO with multiple lines - requesting delivery from the vendor to the different plants.
How can we avoid having to create the same BOM in every plant?

Praveen.

hi
u can avoid by choosing the recurrcive allowed for BOM can avoid it

Is it possible to selectively block re-explode BOM in Sub-contracting PO ?

In our business scenario, sometimes we are directly adding PO components in the Sub-contracting PO in addition to the existing components that have come in through BOM. After saving and somedays later when the user goes to edit PO through ME22N, since the components button & re-explode BOM button are very close, users by mistake press re-explode BOm and also save the PO. The directly added components go out and hence not consumed while GR. Is it possible to selectively block the re-explode BOM through PO user exit or any other method?

Some amount of user training should help.
If not discuss with your abaper if badi - ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST can be used or you can find user exits with a search using MM06E*

BOM Explosion in MRP runs for sub-contracting PO

Hello Experts,
We have sub- contracting Purchase order in business scenario.
Subcontracting PO is required to be considered as demand for MRP. As I have checked PO is showing in MD04, after MRP run using transaction code
MD02 subcontracting BOM not exploding.
Sub contacting PO raised on “X” procurement type material, PR is required on BOM item “F” Procurement type
Please suggest what all special setting is required as master data & configuration data.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
In the header or parent material (the material that is being produced bu your subcontractor) you have to maintain the following data:
Procurement type = F
Special Proc Type = 30
MRP Type = PD
Lot Size, Minimum Lot Size, Rounding Value: Enter what is convinient for your business.
Be sure you have a BOM (CS01)
Create a Production version indicating the BOM (C223)
Enter Selection Method 3 in the MRP4 view of the material master
Create an Info Record (type Subcontracting).. (ME11)
Create a Source List (ME01)
Run the MRP and check MD04
Kind Regards,
Mariano

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

BAPI_PO_CHANGE Sub-contracting PO

Hello experts,
we are using BAPI_PO_CHANGE to change the Item Category of a material
in a purchase order to L (sub-contracting) when we do we receive the
error message in the BAPI u201CNot possible to determine any componentsu201D
due to the fact the associated material doesn't have a BoM. we do not
want to create BoMs for these materials, we want to populate the BoM
requirements directly in the Purchase order as you can do with
transaction ME22n where you receive the same error message but you can
continue,but in the the BAPI you can't. we have try many ways even
trying to manipulate the error message but all fails.
please advise if this is possible to do? are we using the correct
BAPI? we have also tried with BAPI_PO_CREATE1 but the same error.
Regards
Mark

hello Purnima.
thank you for the quick reply
we are on SAP ECC 6.0 and this support note has already been applied.
i think my question was a bit misleading, we have create a sub-contractor ( L) PO with BAPI_PO_CREATE1 and wish to add
additional sub-contracting PO lines using BAPI_PO_CHANGE the additional PO header lines, do not have a BoM already created and we do not want to create one as these are one off activities , we would like to applied the BOM components for the PO header item directly in the PO as you can in ME22n.

Mark

Sub contracting PO - MB1B - Accepts more than PO Quantity

Hi Gurus,
I made a Sub-contracting PO with BOM components. During the transfer of BOM components to vendor (MB1B - 541), the system accepts to transfer more than PO quantity to transfer.
How can we restrict this transfered quantity should not exceed PO BOM components quantity.
Regards,
VB

SAP does not store the PO number anywhere as a reference for the delivery/movement from your location to the subcontractor. Hence you have technically not really a chance to restrict it.
It might be possible with a user exit to check whether the the current quantity in the movement exceeds the compónent quantity. But if you do the same movement again in the next minute, then it will pass.
If you create a Z-table where you store the reference and the transferred quantity per PO, then you might be able to achieve your goal.
I personally like the SAP design as it fits to our requirements. we are a chemical company, to produce a certain finished material we need for example 23 kg of a component, however this component is packaged in a 50 kg drum.
we do not repack the component into smaller drums just to get the exact quantity to the subcontractor. we send the full drum, which would not be possible with your wanted restriction.
Our subcontractor does not just a one-time event of subcontracting, it is a recurring business, maybe 10 orders per month.
So it saves a lot freight costs to ship components for one or two month production to the subcontractor, even prior to any PO.
And we do not loose any money by sending more material, the stock at the subcontractor is our stock, is owned by us, it is not a gift that is given for free to a subcontractor
