Subcontracting Using Scheduling agreement

I am trying to carry out subcontracting using Scheduling Agreement, but not able to achieve the same. Please let me know stepwise porocedure to carry out the same.

Hi,
Please cehck the following,
Requirement Subcontracting Orders to be generated as schedule line using MRP.
Solution is as follows.
Step 1
Transaction Code: MM01
Path Logistics  Materials Management  Material Master  Material  Create (general)  Immediately
Create Material Master with source list marked in Purchasing view and Special Procurement type is 30 in MRP2 View.
Source List to be marked in Purcahsing data view of material master record.
Procurement type in F
In MRP-2 view, Special procurement 30 Subcontract
Step 2.
Create Q-Info Records.
Transaction: QI01
Menu Path: Logistics  Quality Management  Quality Planning  Logistics Master Data  Q-Info Record: Procurement  Create
Step 3.
Create a Scheduling Agreement (Doc. type LP).
Enter the firm zone: Zone in which the requirement should be converted to Schedule lines.
Save the document
Step 4.
Create Source List
Transaction: ME01
Path: Logistics  Materials Management  Purchasing  Master Data  Source List  Maintain
In ME01,
Enter the valid from and to date, vendor, purchasing organization, agreement created in STEP 3, and MRP indicator as 2 = Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically. SAVE the record
STEP 5
RUN MRP.
Transaction is MD02.
Path: Logistics  Production  MRP  Planning  Single item, multi level
Control. Parameter to be used for schedule lines is 2, This will ensure that requirement in the firm zone is converted to schedule lines rest will be converted to planned order.
Next is the solution for splitting the requirement in two vendors.
step-6
The splitting of requirement will be handled using quota arrangement.
Following are the steps to be followed:
Step 1. Customizing settings
Transaction: OMI4 (Define Lot sizing procedures), Choose MRP Lot Size
Mark the Splitting quota.
The Splitting will enable the requirement to be split between two vendors. The following are the details of the same.
Step 2. Change the Material Master
Change views
View to be changed is Purchasing
Input the Quota arr. Usage as 3 (MRP relevant).
Step 3. Create Info Records.
Transaction: ME11
Choose Subcontracting and create the info record.
Step 4. Maintain the Source List
Transaction: ME01
To add the next vendor
Step 5. Create Quota Arrangement
Transaction: MEQ1
Path: Logistics  Materials Management  Purchasing  Master Data  Quota arrangement  Maintain
Input the material and plant and press enter.
Input the Valid to date and Min. qty splitting (If the requirement is greater than Min qty Splitting only then the requirement will be split else it will be allocated to only one vendor based on the Quota
Enter the following details
Procurement type as F = External procurement
Special procurement as L = Subcontract
Vendors for which splitting is to take place.
Calculating the Quota Rating
The system assigns a quota rating to each source of supply. The quota rating is calculated as follows:
Quota-allocated quantity + Quota base quantity
= Quota rating
Quota
where
     Quota-allocated quantity
= Total quantity from all purchase requisitions, purchase orders, release orders, and scheduling agreement schedules allocated to a given source of supply. (The quantities of quota-allocated planned orders are also taken into account.)
     Quota base quantity
= Quantity used to control the quota arrangement when new sources of supply are included.
     Quota
= A number specifying which portion of a total requirement should be obtained from a certain source.
The source with the lowest quota rating represents the valid source, even if it has a quota rating of 0 (that is, the quota-allocated quantity and the quota base quantity have the value 0). If more than one source of supply has a quota rating of 0, the item with the highest quota is the valid source of supply.
According to the formula, the following applies: The higher the quota, the lower the quota rating and the higher the likelihood that the relevant source will be determined as the valid source.
But in case of splitting SAP will not go on the basis of Quota it will purely split the requirement quantity between two or more vendor on the basis of Quota %.
Step5. RUN MRP
Remember to choose the schedule lines control indicator to 2.
Please try this.
Don't forget to reward, if found to be useful.

Subcontracting through scheduling Agreement

hi ..
helloo..i want to knw the steps by step procedure for the subcontracting using scheduling agreement..
thanks..
Rgrds,
AVS

Hi
Steps are the same as how you create for a SC PO and the creation of shedule lines is the same standard way. Only the item category will be L - Subcontracting.
To enter several delivery dates for a subcontract order item, proceed as follows:
Display the scheduling screen for the item.
Enter the quantities and dates.
If the ordered material has a bill of material, the components are copied from the bill of material.
If you do not use bills of material, you must either enter the components manually or refer to an existing purchase requisition. You have to enter the components for every delivery schedule.
Position the cursor on a schedule line and choose Item ® Component ® Overview to display the screen for processing components. You can enter or change the individual components in the same way as an order item.
To make entering the schedule lines easier, copy the components for other delivery schedule items. To do this, select Edit ® Repeat components ® Activate.
When you enter the next delivery schedule for the material, the components will be copied from the selected delivery schedule. The quantity and the date required are redetermined.
Save the delivery schedule.
When you print the scheduling agreement, the quantity required per component and date required are reprinted.
Thanks & Regards

Subcontract and scheduling agreement

gurus can u tell n detail reg the subcontract n scheduling agreement followed during real time?

Hi,
Sub Contracting Cycle are:
(1) You have a material (Finished Goods) that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM (CS01) with components (Raw Materials). Any waste generated and received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity in the BOM.
(2) You create a subcontracting PO (ME21N, Item Category L with different document type ie.. from std one). Maintain Purchase Info Record for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components for SC PO(In ME2O directly or by MB1B with 541 Movement type). Material is sent to subcontractor. As material remains under your ownership, system does not make any value entry. But quantity is shown as "Material Provided to Vendor" .So no accounting document generated by supplying raw material to Sub Contracting Vendor.
(4) You receive (MIGO) finished material against SC-PO. You also specify components consumed in manufacturing of finished goods. Additionally, if you have negative components in BOM, now you'll also receive subcontracting by-products. There are three events, so three accounting entries are generated:
(5) Invoice Verification (MIRO) for SC Invoice.
(6) Payment in F-53
The accounting entries are:
FG BSX acc. Debit Acc.
GR/IR Cle.acc. WRX acc. Credit Acc.
FRL Acc. Debit Acc.
BSV acc. Credit Acc.
BSX acc. of components Credit Acc.
GBB - VBO Acc. Debit acc.
PRD acc. Some time Credit &
Some time Debit
If you are activate Price Diff. Acc. for SC-Vendor in....
OLMB -
> GR -
> Price diff. acc.for SC order while you do GR for your Plant......then Price Diff. Acc. also will be trigered...
Scheduling agreement is a long term purchase agreement, where you will keep issuing the delivery schedules whenever there is a change in requirement or at predetermined time intervals. The delivery schedule can be on hour/daily/weekly/monthly basis. SA is also an agreement with the vendor for the supply of matl, may be a quanity or value. The delivery dates will be maintained in ME38 ref the SA which are called delivery schedules.So you can maintain the delivery schedule and communicate the vendor on Forecase basis or JIT basis. And when you need some more matl then will only create SA deliveries using ME38. SA could be of 2 types:- without release documentation-system will transmit the delivery info to the vendor once you save the document.
With release documentation- after creating the delivery schedules you need to create SA release using ME84.So Process are ME01, ME11, ME31K with aggnrement type, ME38 & MIGO,

How to measure performance of supplier when using scheduling agreement ?

Hello all,
My client has an absolute need to be able to measure the performance of its suppliers based on delivery dates and delivered quantities. That is to say he needs to be able to compare what dates and quantities were asked to what has been really delivered.
Most of the procurement processes used are based on scheduling agreements : schedule lines are generated by MRP and forecast is sent to supplier while firm requirements are sent through JIT calls.
It seems that when doing GR in MIGO, it is done against the outline agreement number, and not against the call. Therefore, we have no way to compare dates and quantity with what was expected (in the JIT call).
Do you know if SAP proposes a standard solution to this, and what could be a solution to this issue ?
Thanks for your help
E. Vallez

Hi,
My client faced the same problem and we ended up developing an own analysis in LIS. Since the GR is not linked to specific schedule line (SAP does some kind of apportioning, but it doesn't have to correlate to the correct match), one needs to do assumptions. Our assumption was the closest schedule line, i.e. each GR is related to the schedule line with the closest date. Then all GR the same day are totaled together before the quantity reliability is calculated, since the very same shipment can be reported through several GR transactions in SAP (one per pallet).
If anybody has info about what SAP has to offer in this question (or is developing), please tell us!

Subcontracting in scheduling agreement

Dear all,
while doing subcontracting scheduling agreement, how can we add the child components to the parent material.
in cs01 ,we maintained the bill of material for the parent material.in CS11 we are able to view it.
Regards,
velu

Hi,
If you have already maintained the BOM in CS01, you need not have to maintain the seperate BOM in Scheduling Agreement, because, the already existing BOM will get copied. The only thing you will have to do is that, define special procurement category as 30 (Sub-Contracting) in MRP2 view of the material master & then create the SchedulingAgreement with item category as L (Sub-Contracting).
Hope this clears.

Can use Scheduling agreements using VB/V1 reorder point MRP?

Hi,
Curretly client is using MRP PD with forward scheduling of 120 days and total horizon of 240 days (it is scheduling 6 months back and 6 months forward from current date) so that Vendor will always have at least 6 months of forecast requirement and client wants to use Min/Max and Reorder point as the key fields for inventory? will this is possible by changing MRP type VB or V1 or R1?
I have a taken a test material and changed MRP to VB and it did not ran for forward dates as the stock was not below reoder point? what are the points i'm missing here?
Appreciates everyone time and help.
Thanks
Siva

VB is consumption based planning and Scheduling agreements can be used only with PD MRP

Schedule Agreement used to create a sales order

We are trying to use schedule agreements to create a sales orders, but
the delivery quantity in not updated within the Item data / schedule
lines of the schedule agreement.
LP (schedule agreement)-> OR (sales order) -> LF delivery (PGI)
Completing the above process, the delivery quantity does not get
updated. Can standard SAP handle this functionality?
Fábio Brancati

Hi Brancati,
As per the standard you can create directly delivery from the scheduling agreement no need to creation of sales order.
I hope it will help you,

Delivery date is no use in scheduleing agreement.

We are using scheduling agreement and automatic schduling line for purchasing.
I already maintain delivery days =2 days and GR day=2days in scheduling agreement.
after MRP running, I found the delivery days is no use.
For example.
requirement date:2009.04.17
MRP result: scheduling line delivery date=2009.04.15 ( !only GR day=3 is in use)
I think the delivery date should be 2009.04.13
I am using standard TB (daiy lot size and the setting for Scheduling Requirements date := delivery date)
why is the delivery date no use in MRP running?
tks in advance.

Hi
If you have used GR processing time in scheduling agreement (example 2 days) if the requirement is on 25.04.2009, then proposed delivery date is for 23.04.2009. GR processing time reduces plans 2 worksday for processing and reduces 2 working days as per factory calender to propose delivery date.
Planned delivery time will not be considered if the requirement date is more closer than the planned delivery time. You will see an exception message in MRP results for that.

Antony

Schedule lines in Scheduling agreement

Dear Experts,
We are using Scheduling agreement for our subcontracting process.Meaning we issue the material which is getting converted as another material and do the GRN.
When I make a schedule line thro TXN ME38 with specific date and quantity system does'nt restrict me to enter the child material ie Input Material.
this will lead to the Wrong GRN ie without consuming the parent part system allows me to do the transaction
Can I have the suggestion to control this ?
Thanks in advance

Dear ,
Thanks for the reply
In PO we have the check to assign the child part.Where as in Scheduling agreement / Schedule lines we don't have control right at the moment.Should we need to customise ? if So kindly tell us or do we need to use the user exit ? Please explain.

Order of delivery schedule line counter at schedule agreements from MRP run

Currently we are using schedule agreements for our long term external suppliers, but we are facing a problem with the order of new delivery schedule lines created during MRP run.
Because of master data settings like, lot size, rounding value, plan delivery time and planning time fence to set as firm new requirements, multiple schedule lines are created with no order for schedule line counter.
Does anyone is aware of a BADI, user exit or customizing control to have this schedule line counter in order?
Thank you

BOM in Scheduling agreement (Type LZ)

HI
I am using scheduling agreement (Type LZ) for maintaining my sales plan for a period of 4 months. (1st one month - daily & subsequent months as weekly requirements). Ii would create delivery and invoices for each supply.
Pricing previously was based on the finished product (basic price for product was available). SO there was no problem.
<u>New requirement:</u>
finished Product above - is made up of components. Now, price should be derived from components. For this I have enabled SD Bom for my finish product.
But the problem is when i use the Finish product code in scheduling agreement type LZ, the BOM doesn't explode (it explodes in other scheduling agreement types, say LP)
Clarification:
1. Is it possible to calculate price of the higher level material by summing up the components' price?, with out BOM explosion
2. Is BOM explosion possible in scheduling agreement with delivery schedule (LZ).
Note:
1. Necessary settings for item category & BOM master already in place.
2. BOM is exploding in sales order and other sheduling types, except doc type LZ.

If it is maintained as error message, it does not allow me to maintain delivery schedule more than target quantity of 100 EA. Also the overdelivery tolerance is maintained as 20 %, so it should allow me to maintain delivery schedule of 120 EA, but it does not allow me to maintain greater than target quantity of 100 EA. Please let me know your comments.

Scheduling Agreement to Delivery

Dear All,
I am using scheduling agreement and explode the BOM in it, with LUMF (TAP) TAN and TAN.
In scheduling agreement I assign schedule line for all the items including 1 main, 2 and 3 for sub item.
When i create delivery same will be copy accordingly to the delivery document and priceing will calculate fine...
But when i create deivery after saving first delivery document, let say create delivery for 17.03.2010 and than create for 18.03.2010 system only call the sub items on the delivery document ????
give me your value added feedback at your earliest.
Regards

repost the question in detail again.
Thanks

Scheduling Agreement Schedule Lines firmed after outbound delivery

Dear All,
We use scheduling agreement for cross-company process in our client. After MRP run schedule lines created automatically. For the next step outbound delivery is created via VL10F (or VL10B).
After outbound delivery creation, on MD04 or ME39, i see the schedule line firmed (*). Because firmig MRP doesn't change those schedule lines. This is a problem for our client.
Do you know a way for MRP can change the schedule lines even outbound delivery created ? How can i manage this situation ?
Best regards,

Hi Anil
The '*' that you see means that the schedule line has been changed manually and the Firming indicator (EKET-FIXKZ) is set when there is any change to the Schedule line.
So, when a Delivery is created, the schedule line should be 'Fixed'.
Otheriwse, MRP can delete or change this schedule line and it would cause an inconsistency in the system. This is the logically intended behaviour.
Please see the F1 help for the field EKET-FIXKZ:
"Schedule Line is "Fixed"
Fixes the schedule line and determines that it cannot now be automatically changed as a result of materials planning and control/MRP activities.
Procedure
The indicator is set automatically if:
.- You make manual changes to a line of a scheduling agreement delivery schedule that was created via the materials planning process
.- You create a schedule line manually
Dependencies
You can specify whether Materials Planning/MRP can change delivery schedule lines within the firm and trade-off zones in the additional data for the scheduling agreement item."
I hope this helps.

Scheduling agreement, unnecessary delivery schedule lines

Hello
We use Scheduling agreements for purchasing spare parts. The MRP run checks the warehouse requirements and creates delivery schedule line to scheduling agreement.
Now the MRP run creates unnecessary delivery schedule lines to scheduling agreement if the earlier created delivery schedule line's delivery date has been changed manually.
For example,
Today the MRP run finds requirement for one article and creates the delivery schedule line, where delivery date is 2.9.2008 (determined from articles basic data).
The Vendor confirms the delivery date as 3.10.2008 and the purchaser changes manually (transaction ME38) the delivery date to delivery schedule line accordingly and prints the created message.
The next MRP run creates new delivery schedule line, where delivery date is again 2.9.2008.
now there are two open delivery schedule lines for this article with delivery dates 3.10.2008 and 2.9.2008.
Why the MRP run does not notice the existing delivery schedule line with the new delivery date 3.10.2008?
we have changed delivery dates manually several years and this has never happened before.
could you please help me to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,
Srikanth

In addition to the above post,
as you changed the date manually from 2nd to 3rd....
so there are was no report for 2nd generated ulitmately...and if generated it was changed...right...
so when you again run the mrp...the system will generate one more pr for the same article....
this ultimately happens because of the set del dates in the MMR as i told above..
Hope it helps..
Regards
