Subcontracting partial material

Several of you contributed to an excellent post last year on "subcontracting" - threadID 427179.  We are trying to do a variation and having a challenge.  We want to send out a partially completed material to a local vendor to do some work on it (e.g., if our tool is broken), then return it and finish the job:
For material X:
- operation 10:  some processing toward X on machine A  (BOM component, input, was raw material Y)
- operation 20:  subcontract to vendor 123 (we'll send him the pile of partially complete X, which is not yet in inventory; he'll return it)
- operation 30:  final processing toward X on machine C (we'll do GR on X)
With that other post, and some other insights, I have an external contracting operation on the routing, and a Purch Info Record with no material;  the production order does allow the time for operation 20 based on the PIR; a Purch Req is proposed by the production order.
But two issues:
1. The PR can't be converted - something about no BOM components
2.  If I recursively add X to it's own BOM, it doesn't help:  I can get the PR to a PO, but I can't do a 541 movement from ME2o - there is no "inventory" anywhere yet (at least no material X's).
Any thoughts on how I might (a) have a 3rd party work on a material, and (b) account for the fact that a not-yet-complete material has been sent off sight and returned?
Thanks for any wisdom!
Thomas.

Thanks for the response - a service PO - that sounds like the kind of thing I'll need, but I still need to have the routing account for the expected time at the service vendor, and I still need to get the material there and back. 
Let me try to do a better job of explaining the functionality:  Suppose we're building a metal casting - like an engine block (material X).  When we're done, we'll just have that one piece of metal.  We start with a rough block of metal (raw material Y). 
Operation 0010, we do some machining on a big milling machine; but we don't bring the result into inventory yet.
Operation 0020, that big piece of metal has to go into a special oven to heat treat it; ours is full, so we want to send the big piece of metal down the street to a vendor who has a similar oven; he treats it and sends it back
Operation 0030, we now take that heat treated piece of metal and do some final milling on it, the result of which is a block we can put into inventory (as a sub component of some other assembly.
Usually, we have capacity in our oven, so it is easy to have one material go through those 3 operations.  That way we just have one routing, one BOM for that component, one production order.   All of our other BOMs which need that casting (e.g., to make various other sub-assemblies) expect the completed casting to be material X. 
Does that make sense?  Thank you for your interest!
Thomas.

  • Subcontracting with Partial material

    Hello All,
    We are in CIN ECC 6 SAP , and have one requirement in subcontracting process , company is providing input materials to the subcontractor , in some situations the input material is sent partial (due to less stock in company)to the subcontractor and in turn the vendor puts his own material and returns backs the items , since the vendor iincludes his materials , he has to provide excise or tax for that particular material. how can be this addressed  in subcontracting process? since in BOM we will not include the materials what he has put.
    Thanks in advance
    Benny

    Hi Benny
    you create a seperate line item with item cat L only for the material you are not supplying the components and flag the SC flag in the delivery address tab of your PO along with the vendor number of your subcontractor.
    If Vendor is charging the cost of the component as Subcontracting fee then you can DO GR directly. other wise you have to do a GR seperately.
    Cheers

  • Subcontracting child material issue with SO ref

    Hi all,
    As per the client business scenario we are using MTO for all production/purchase process, In between the production process the material also going to subcontract for some process and coming back as new material. As i mentioned earlier all material movement with ref to sale order only.
    So, the child material in SO stock, created the subcontract PO through MRP by using Item cat - L and Account Assignment - M, with child material, system is recoganising the subcontract consumption with ref to SO in 543 mvt type. but while sending the material from plant through 541 system is not able to recoganise (since there is no special stock assigned in value string OMJJ).
    How to make the Sale order reference as manditory while GI (541/542) and GR (101/102/543/544/545/546) of subcontracting.
    Request your valuable suggestions

  • Subcontracting same material same vendor different operations

    All SAP Gurus,
    I'm providing components (in this case these are tools) for subcontracting.
    Accourding to the condition of tools, subcontractor will perform different opertions (eg. sometimes sharpening of the tools, some times chipping) over these tools.
    I don't want to create different material codes for components (as my material which I'm supplying to subcontractor and material which subcontractor is supplying to me against components are same).
    But processing charges are varying each time accourding to operations performed by subcontractor.
    Subcontracting PO picks up same price each time from Purchasing Info record (subcontracting).
    Is there any any out to pay different charges depending upon operations performed by the subcontractor.
    (We can not create service PO, as material is going out of factory on subcontracting challan).
    Please suggest,
    Regards.

    Hi
    Try changing the Price in the PO In the Conditions Tab of the PO line item.
    Or if the Prices are being adopted from the Inforrecord , update the Price there.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Subcontracting Extra Material Return From Vendor

    Dear Sir,
    We have a following scenario :
    We had made a Subcontract Challan for a Material of quantity 50 nos . Vendor processed the Material and GR was made for 45 nos Processed Items .
    The 5 nos pieces are now left with the Vendor .  Vendor need to return these 5 nos items as it is (Un-Processed) . Kindly guide us as what steps need to be followed to receive back these 5 nos and reconciliation of the subcontract challan .
    I would be highly grateful for the suggested solution pl .

    Hi
    in subcontracting configuration for CIN you need to give list of movement types for material issue and reversal or consumption. In that you need to add 542 also. Then during reconcillation system will consider 542 documents also along with 543 documents.
    Hope you are clear.

  • Subcontract raw material consumption adjustment

    Dear All,
    I have made GR for subcontract material as below
    1) out put material 100 pcs (101 mov type)
            Input materisl 10 kgs (543 Mov type)
    but later i got to know that what ever input mateirial was consumed in actual is higher
    so actully counsution need to be 30 kgs
    so pl guide me how to pass this balance 20 kgs entry for input mateirial over consution.
    Regards,
    Vimlesh

    Use Subsequent Adjustment function in MIGO. 121 Movement will hit here.
    Subsequent adjustment for subcontracting .This movement type cannot be entered manually.  With a subsequent adjustment for a subcontract order it is possible to correct the consumption of components. In this case, the material produced by the supplier is credited with the excess consumption / under-consumption.  For this reason, if there is a subsequent adjustment, an item is generated for the produced material using movement movement type 121.
    Movement type 121 does not have a reversal movement type. Possible special stock indicators: O, E, Q

    hi yogesh
    check following line may you use it
    step1:-
    Subcontracting In SAP
    Bel  ow are the steps of subcontracting:
    1. For a production material (1001), one raw material (2001) is assigned.
    2. Production process of 1001 is having four operations 10, 20, 30 and 40.
    3. In this 10, 30, and 40 are internal operations and 20 is external operation (sub-contracting).
    4. To address this, we created a dummy material (non-valuated) and named as 1001-20 (Finished product number + Operation to be performed).
    5. This 1001-20 should form part of the component in BOM of 1001. That is BOM of 1001 will have components as raw material 2001 and this dummy material 1001-20. In routing, assign this dummy material 1001-20 to operation 20.
    6. During BOM creation, you should remove costing relevancy for the item 1001-20.
    7. In routing, operation 20 is created with a work center (which is external operation work center) with external operation control key.
    8. In operation details, for external processing, assign the info record of external processing.
    9. Info record of external processing has to be created for vendor with relevance to the operation to be performed externally with vendor. (We are using material group field in the external processing in routing operation).
    10. When create production order with above set up, system will create Purcha Req for external operation. This has to be converted to purchase order.
    11. Now, this dummy material should be kept as 5000 or 6000 in stock using 561. When Purchase order is raised, required quantity has to be moved to vendor using 541.  When we do goods receipt the stock with vendor shall come down. With this, we can monitor the material (with dummy material number) stock with vendor (please note we can see only quantity and not value) .
    12. When we do GR for external purch order, we receive only the operation performed. (So, coversion cost to vendor shall be paid).
    13. After ensuring GR is done, order confirmatin of operation 0020 has to be done. (here we capture the quanttiy and also the valuation of material in production order).
    step_2
    1.  Define all the materials in your plant (subcontracting and packaging etc).
    2.  In the material master MRP 4 view there is one field in which you can mention that this material is not relevant to MRP planning, use this field for subcontracting material so that it will not be planned in MRP runs ( generally use this field for re-order point planning).
    3.  In the BOM for the subcontracting material put the special procurement key as Subcontracting and do not keep relevance for costing.
    4.  If you're using packaging material of your company and want to capture the cost of these materials in the subcontracting production order then put relevance for cost.
    5.  Define alternate BOMs for each customer.
    6.   Generally the routing will be the same but materials will change, define different prodcution versions for each alternate BOM and assign to the routing.
    7.   Define the activite types for packing and mixing in the work center and assign them to the cost center, use these for your routing. 
    8.  Whenever you recive a sub-contracting order, use the relevant production version depending on the customer.
    In my place all the palnts belong to the same client in sap and they want to use the same material code in both plants, so I think my subcontracting scenario might be different from yours but it give you some ideas to go about it.

  • MM Subcontracting with material applied by vendor

    Dear all ,
    I have to input into Subcontrating Purchase order a new line to represent the material applied by vendor. The problem of this scenario is that I must put the value of this material applied(second line of PO) as part of costs of main item.
    I could not use condition at pricing to simulate this into the MIRO.
    Does anyone know this scenario ? How could I do that in this way ?
    best regards,
    Ale

    Hi dear  Charlie  !
    thx for your reply !
    Well I could not use delivery costs conditions at pricing because after that I must use by one brazilian fiscal requirement use the  additional item at PO to open at "Nota fiscal" that is a fiscal document valid here in Brazil , and I use it on MIRO.
    Thx for your quick reply.
    best regards,

  • Subcontracting Finished material received by Customer

    Hello,
    I want to map this subcontracting scenario,
    I wanted to create the subcontracting PO, to vendor xyz,Then that finished product is
    sent tocustomer directly from vendor to  customer, How to do?
    and what are the accounting entries ? from vendor side and customer side.
    Regards
    sapman

    Hi
    For the Subcontrcating PO, Maintain the account assignment category as the sales order & in the Delviery address of the Item Give the Customer number.
    If you dont want to perform any delivery.
    If you want to perform Dleivery then Create a subContract PO, in the PO item, give the Customer number.
    So it can be physically dleivered.
    Now Perform the goods receipt of the the SC PO.
    the goods will be in the Stock, Now issue the Goods using the sales order for the Customer.
    In this way also you can map the Process.
    The Accounting documents are triggered as per the noram process only at the time of Goods receipt & goods issue.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Subcontracting with the finished material to be given to the customer

    dear all,
    I want to implement a scenario, in which i want do subcontracting. the material shall not be given by me but shall be ordered to another vendor who shall give it to the subcontractor, the subcontractor shall give the finished product to the customer. I would like to do the goods receipt and receive the invoice from the sub contractor.
    Please tell the procedure if any one has implemented this scenario.
    regards

    Hi,
    1) For bought out material (to be given by your vendor to Sub-Contractor) - Preferably this PO should be generated from MRP generated PR (requirement coming from the sale order). You can change the delivery address (in Delivery Address tab at Item Details level). In the bought out material PO, you can maintain the vendor number (of your sub-contractor) & put tick at SC Vend. This will change the delivery address to the sub-contractors address. When you post GRN the material stock will be shown as material provided to sub-contractor.
    2) For Sub-Contractor Vendor (material directly to be given to the customer) - The condition you maintained is of the Third Party Supply.The PR for this PO must be generated from the sale order you booked in the system (for the customer to which you want to deliver the material). Maintain the procurement key as F (External procurement) & special procurement key in the material master as 30 (Sub-Contracting) for this material. Using this PR, raise the sub-contracting PO. When you post the GRN for this material the material will be posted to the material supplied to customer & the account hitting at GRN will be COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). The material provided to the sub-contractor (directly from the bought out material vendor) will be consumed at this GRN.
    Hope this helps.

    how we can go ahead about this. Please give solution.
    Thanks & regards

    HI,
    Get the materials back to your plant using 542 movement type. Post a credit memo to the vendor for the damage charges. Later you can scrap the material if it is not usable.

  • External Material for Subcontracting

    How do you manage material from customer that you just add a process to it?
    Right now we do not enter the material in our stock and just make a service sales order type?
    Is there a best practice process for this scenario?
    Thank you,
    Carlos

    Hi sumit,
    In subcontracting the material has to return within 180 days otherwise it will be
    treated as exciseable goods.
    when we do GR for external po's we receive only the operation to be performed
    so conversion cost to the vendor shall be paid
    when ceate Production order  system will create planned order only which is unfirmed as the procurement type ' X ' and procurement key for subcontracting you need to define MRP 2 under procurement.
    after ensuring GR is done order confirmation of operation ( external ) has to be done here only system capture the quantity ( subcontracting material ) and also valuation of the material in production order. As order settlement is order based .

  • Is it possible to create a BOM  for ROH material for Subcontracting

    Dear Guru's
    As per my knowledge BOM is needed only for HALB & FERT material even if for subcontracting purpose. So is it possible to create a BOM for ROH material for Subcontracting?. Pls help me to get a soln ?
    Regards
    Ragesh

    Ragesh,
    When you are subcontracting the material, the Std SAP says that the material type should be HALB and not ROH.
    But if client requires for any reason that the material should be ROH only, there is no problem in chaning the settings.

  • Can SAP get material number in Purchase order in external processing?

    I have a question that:
    As I know, Exeternal processing is a service, so that Material number can not be shown in purchase order converted from PR for external processing. Here, PR can be automately generated from transaction CO01 to create an external processing production order. Meanwhile, for external processing, purchase info record is created without material number only with material group.
    So, I want to know that if there any solutions to show material number in purchase order generated for external processing?
    thanks,
    best regards,

    If therer are no production order, How can I get finished products from internal activity and external processing?
    Now, external processing in our company like this:
    1.create an purchase info record. (type:subcontracting, with material group, but not material ID)
    2.Maintan external processing data in external operation where external processing happens.(control key: pp02, external processing data: info record, purchase org. net price, cost element etc.)
    3.create a production order for the material.(one of the operations is an external processing operation described like step 2)
    4.Purchase requstion is changed into Purchase order. (Purchase requestion is automately created with the production order)
    5.MIGO to receive goods from the purchase order.
    6.finished the production order and delivery goods.then the production order is DLV.
    In step 4, purchase order can only get the production order ID, but there are no material ID shown in it. Only method to show material is that maintaining a description text in the external operation, then, purchase order item could show material in material text(but, here, there is no material ID derectly from info record or production order).
    this is the big problem now for our company. No material ID can be automately carried into the purchase order.
    Hope you help..
    thanks...

  • Accounting for code based  consumable material in SAP

    Hi Experts,
    Just a scenario I want to discuss with You all:
    Earlier were using  non-stock items (no material code,only text to procure materials) and projects were consuming it. Now, we are going to use material codes to procure non-stock items which now have master code for it now the requirement for this process is as below.
    At the time of GRN system pick project G/L(Profit and loss account G/L ) with account assignment S (or Q ) and respective WBS
    While transferring  the left over project qty to another project ,accounting document is to be created .
    Warehouse want to track to moved  quantity as well  from project to project and to own stock .
    considering these requirement  i m working on two logic.
    Logic 1 .
    I configured the material as value based material  so that while doing GRN  project WBS  is debiting
    and after consumption  of partial material quantity,  I am transferring the remaining cost of project to another project by  t-code KB61N or KB11N  where cost is moving from project to project .
    now to show quantity movement  i am developing one report which can show the quantity based on moved Price lets  say if unit prince is 10 and 200 cost is transferring from project to project  means 20 qty is moving  in customized report .
    Logic 2
    With the help of BADI or some development a virtual storage location  will be created on MIGO screen 
    and material will be fetched in this virtual storage location while doing GRN as a referance purpose
    and the same location to be used during transferring material from project to project
    let me know how far this logic and requirement is correct to code the consumable material and it  is  going to be  codified for reporting purpose .
    your earliest response will be appreciable .
    Thanks in advance .

    Hi Jurgan  ,
    scenario is like ,
    earlier for these material , material record was not existing
    but now business  want to create material  master for such consumable material for tracking purpose
    and these codified material is to procured under WBC and profit and loss account G/L not inventory G/L (balance sheet G/l )
    and to pick profit loss G/L  i made material as valuate material only  so that can populate accounting document while transferring value from project to project via  KB61N or KB11N
    now what value is transferring from project to project that will be picked in terms of quantity (unit value conversion to quantity )  in customized report
    hope scenario is clear now ..let me know if any query you have  to give your valuable inputs
    Thanks
