Subcontracting with valuated project stock

Hi All,
We are using MM subcontracting process with project assignment.We have valuated project stock.
When I try to execute transaction ME2O for issuing components to subcontractor I do not get the PO with project assignment. I only get the PO if there is no object assigned in the PO i.e. account assignment category is blank in PO.
Am i missing something here or is this SAP standard?

Actuals for stock valuated materials in a valuated project stock

Hi friends!
Iu2019m working with materials in the project, and we are going to do direct external procurement from the project. The material we are using are valuated stock and in the project I have valuated project stock.
The requirements are that the vendor give us the material prices, and the material will not be consumed by the project(WBS/network). All the material will be collected to the special project stock until we decide to move the material to the unrestricted stock to be consumed by another department in the company. All the actual cost must follow-up in the project.
This is what I do:
From the project I create material components and I create the PO requisition I got the same price as in the project. Thatu2019s ok.
When I convert the PO requisition to the PO I got no price but if I save I got the latest used price for the material and this could varied and it´s ok but should not work like this for this scenario.
My doubts are when I do the goods receipt (MIGO) and the price of the material in the PO are not the same as the stock valuated price I got the difference as actuals in the project and the valuation of the material are in the project stock. If the price of the PO is the same as the valuation price I got no actuals in the project.
When I register the invoice from the vendor (MIRO) I got no actuals either so I cannot do my project follow-up costs. When I check the cost they are in accounting (balance sheet account).
When I do the material movement with 411Q to unrestricted stock I donu2019t get any actuals in the project either.
Is this a normal behavior when using stock valuated materials in a valuated project stock?
I SAP help I found this information for non valuated project stock:
u201CAll the actual production costs appear in the project because no price variances can occur and all external procurement follow-up costs are debited to the WBS element.u201D
But if the best practice is to use valuated project stock why follow-up costs cannot be done in the project?
Please give me some ideas of this,
Best regards

If the mateiral was created using the no stock material material type then yes you can see this material in MM60. Search using material type 'NLAG' for non stock.

Valuated and Non-valuated project stock in same SAP system

Dear All,
Can we operate with the system where projects are with valuated and non-valuated project stock at the same time. If yes, are there any precautions we need to take before doing this.
Currently we are changing to 'valuated project stock' from 'non-valuated project stock' due to advantages of 'valuated project stock'. But since we are implementing this change in already stable system where projects are running with 'non-valuated project stock'. Please suggest of there are any complication with this.
Thanks in advance !
Regards

Hi Muralidhar Lanka,
Thanks for your time and efforts to share your thoughts with all of us. Hope you will not mind, did you done this kind of changes to profiles midst of the project in the past? or its your guess.
Because, many times these kind of questions comes from business to change, but we are not sure how it will affect the existing as well new projects. In such circumstances, normally we politely propose to go with two profiles rather changing the existing one since we are not sure of how it will affect.
It would be great help to all of us if you can share your experiences how the goods movement and value flows have taken in system for old projects and new projects. What kind of changes you could notice after changing profile in terms of .. a few of them
1. Goods movement
2. Consumption of production orders and internal order.
3. Settlement and RA (customer projects/ investment projects)
4. POC calcualtion of projects
I am sorry if you find my questions are silly and not worth to answer, please disregard.
Looking forward to hear from you at your convenient time.
Thanks,

Results Analysis for Valuated Project stock

Hi,
To have transfer prices we have activated material ledger and multiple valuations.
As material ledger only works with valuated stock, we have moved the Project structure (ETO) from non valuated to valuated.
Our client requirement was to recognised revenue based on cost. With non valuated project stock, cost is upated as soon as we received the stock for the project and we were able to acheive the RA (revenue recognisition) as per the clients requirement.
However after changing to valuated, during goods receipt stock is upated and not cost. So we asked the client to consume the purchased material if they have to recognise the revenue.
Then the question came that if the SFG is received back from the assembly/production order, all of a sudden we will not have cost but revenue & stock. After looking some SAP notes on statistical cost elements, we have created the stock account as a statistical cost element (category 90) and implimented the following SAP notes which helped us to reverse the stock value and update it to P&L (by reading the balance in statistical cost element linked to the Project).
a) Note 78420 : To activate Function Module EXIT_SAPLKKAG_005 (contains include ZXKAGU05).This Function module takes into account the actual & plan costs of the assigned Production orders & Networks
b)Note 616869 : Provides source code to be copied to include ZXKAGU05
c)Note 616960 : Changes to include ZXKAGU05 to read statistical cost elements in RA
d)Note 26002 : To activate Function Module EXIT_SAPLKKAG_001 (contains include ZXKAGU01).In this include we can make the necessary modifications to RA calculations. Through this include, stock will be reversed during RA.
e)Note 785626 : Provides source code to be copied to include ZXKAGU01
Hower if we have purchased parts which are not consumed, still the RA (FM EXIT_SAPLKKAG_001) reads the value in statistical cost element and posts a debit to RA P&L and reverses the stock. Therefore now i have cost but no revenue (as no consumption).
As per last paragraph of sap note 785626, if we have purchased parts and we want to exclude them from stock reversal, we have to use a filter with customer enhancement 3 (SAP note 67423). It also says that the goods receipts and issues of purchased parts has to lead to a different valuation class and assigne a different stock accout. Now can any one give some guidance on how a project specific purchased parts (receipts and issues to prod order) can be linked to a seperated valuation class.
We have same material which is sometimes purchased and sometime produced.
Regards
Raghu.

Hi
I can say something from theory but not much from sap config. perspective. You have not mentioned actual revenue since POC is calculated from
R(a)/R(p).How you have considered 100% poc?
From your data,it looks to me that you have met the target revenue from actual cost which is less than planned one.Inventory indicates that you can generate revenue in next accounting period (unlike WIP).I feel that unlike plant stock,RA is not perfomed on project stock Murli, can ammend my view if it is wrong.
You can post this problem to Fi/Co.

Table for Valuated Project stock

Dear All,
Can any one suggest form which table I can get value of valuated project stock for whole project.
I can get it through table QBEW (Project Stock Valuation), but it gives value for individual WBS only.
Regards,
Nitish

Thanks for your reply.
Basically I am using it in Yreport and initial input parameters are only Project definition and version.
So accordingly how we can built programme, so as to pick value for whole project(all WBS) .

Non-Valuated Project Stock Report

Dear Sir,
I am assigning some valuated and non-valuated materials to the Project. So I have selected Project Stock in Project Defination. So I can see Valuated Project Stock in MBBS but I can't see non-valuated project stock . So where should I come to know these stock also ?
Regards
Girish Lashkar

Hi,
If you check your project definition control tab you can find which type of stock you are using, whether it is valuated project stock or non-valuated project stock. Since SAP is giving a radio button to select this, it means you can not maintain both valuated and non-valuated project stock.
In your case may be some of the material code you created as non-valuated material for the particular plant, not for project. Please check it again.
You can also refer sap help under project system > material to know better.
Tnx.

LIS Reporting of Valuated Project Stock

We have a scenario where we have materials that are used both as valuated project stock and plant stock. Plant stock goes to normal orders. For the projects, the material is manufactured and goes into valuated project stock. So the same material can be valuated as plant stock and project stock. An example might be:
    Item A    50 in plant stock
                  10 for project A
                    5 for project B
Some reporting works well. MMBE for example faihfuly reports these values. MBBS is correct.   MB5L shows good integrity between all accounts.
The inventory LIS reports are messed up. MC.1 reports odd values including the project valuation class which SAP says it will not report.
Does SAP Inventory LIS (MC.1 etc..) handle the situation where a material has multiple valuation classes and can be used in diferent way? Is there a fix for this problem?
The ultimate requirement is to have stock history similar to plant stock but for project stock.

Non valuated project stock

Can I use one material with valuated stock in a project and same material with non valuated stock in another project ?
How to do this ?

Hi,
Valuated stock is controlled at project level and not at material level so you can achieve that. The radio button for stock is set in Project profile (Tcode: OPSA) control tab.

Subcontracting with Customer Owned Stock

Hi Guys
We will have stock that is owned by a customer but stored on our premises and we will be using the Subcontracting PO Process to send away unserviceable items and get them refurbished to come back as servicable.
We need the facility to do this with both normal stock AND Custiomer owned stock
In my current scenario the only stock i have is customer owned (special stock cat B) and i want to create a Subcontracting PO AND an outbound delivery using the customer owned stock,
Any help in how to do this would be appreciated

Frenchy

Hello
Please check the below SAP help documentation links on customer stock

Non Valuated Project stock for valuated material

Hello MM experts,
We have a valuated stock material in a plant.
We want to maintain project stock (Special stock Q) for the same material, in a dedicated storage location within the same plant as non valuated stock.
Can you please tell how this can be achieved?
Regards,
Shashi

Hi,
This is little difficult to manage a material as valuated and non valuated. To make it non valuated you have to use a material type which is managed only on quantity basis and not on value basis like non valuated stock. Then you can do a material to material transfer posting. I haven't checked this scenario. For more info on this please refer these links:

"Taxes for SEZ" and "Opg Stock of Material for Non Valuated Project Stock"

Hi Guru's,
Need two clarifications specific to SEZ:
a. When an SEZ unit buys any materials from a DTA unit, and if the supplier issues ARE1 form then there is no Excise duty charged on such purchase. Similarly VAT is also exempt and CST is exempt if the SEZ unit issues Form I. However in case the SEZ unit is not NEF +ve after 5 years, then all these benifits taken on ED, CST, VAT etc needs to be paid back to the Govt.
Hence how is it possible in SAP to capture all these benfits (ED,CST,VAT) in the MIRO Invoice posting stage, so that the details are available when needed?
b. We are using Project Systems and the project is non-valuated. So in our case all material which we buy for Project is consumed at the GRN stage and there is no valuated inventory.
However for "Annual Performance Report" it is mandatory to give the Opening stock of material.
Can anyone throw some light how this can be calculated when we the Project is non valuated?

Prasad

Using Subcontracting with Sales Order Stock

Hi SDN Network,
We use the made to order setup so run MRP with the Sales Order as the basis of the demand. After that, we avail the services of a subcontractor to assemble the finished goods although we supply the subassembly and raw matls.
The PR generated during the MRP run has an account assignment of either M or E depending on the Item Cat in the sales order. From that PR, we create a subcon PO (item cat L). Problem is the PO generated is not showing up on the ME2O transaction. Does this mean that POs whose GR goes directly to Sales Order stock are not allowed in the system? I am able to post
We would still want to retain the 'reservation' of the materials using the Sales Order stock. But does it follow that you cannot use Sales Order Stock with subcontracting?
Did I miss out anything in the config? Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Subcontracting issue to subcontractor (special stock O) and sales order stock (special stock E) both have special stock indicators and hence not possible.
The process can be done as explained in the link below:

Transfer non-valuated project stock

The project is set for "non-valuated" stock. Can stock that has been received into the project be transferred or goods issued to unrestricted plant stock? If so , how?

Hi,
As for Account assignment N there is no stock ( at the time of GR the consumption is booked for that material) so while at the time of reversal of that consumption as well you can not have the stock of material, as it will be a reversal of GR. So there won't entry of that material then after( I mean stock entry).
If you want to have that then create the purchase order of the material without any account assignment as a part of general stock and then transfer stock as per the requirement.

PS subcontracting with external activity

Hi,
I have a couple of questions about "PS subcontracting with external activity" I have not found any information about this for PS subcon flow, I was looking for a subcon PS Wiki but no succeed.
The scenario is to use a external activity to a subcontractor and put the material components to deliver in the external activity and check the subcon check box. Then use the valuated project stock for holding the materials.
For material components there is an option in tab "Proc. Param" and fiel "Mat. Prov. Ind." = "Material Provision Indicator", do you know if this option can be use or be available in PS? This field is grey so I can not do anything with it, so my guess is that option use only by a BOM, could you confirm that for me?
Right now I have a problem in the system so I can not save a project when creating a external activity and use the subcon check box, this is at OSS right now. But I was wondering if I put the material components in a external activity, how will it be represented in the PO?
Will it be only one item in the PO, the service from the external activity? and inside this item will hold all my material components? this can be found in tab "Material data" -> "Components".
Please share if you have some information about this,
Regards
Jose
PS Note that this scenario is not a MM subcon

abdul,
I'm talking what you can do in the system, there is 3 posibilities I have in mind:
Alternative 1
Is when I will send all the parts, thats right separated parts to be one. The material which will be the final material, is not in my stock/company. It is a new material Im manufacturing with the help of a subcontractor.
In PS I want to create a subcontracting external activity, create a PR from PS, create a PO and deliver it to the receiver in other words the subcontractor who will put it together to the final material.
For this alternative I think I have to create the material which the subcontractor will put together and have it as a head material in a BOM. The BOM will represent the parts Im sending for assembly, so when the material is deliver back to me, I will do a goods receipt of the head material.
My question is in this if I have thought this right, if you have experience of this please contact me.
Alternative 2
Is when I will send a existing material and all the parts which will be use to maintain/repair this particular material from my stock/company to a subcontractor who will do the work. This material will have the same material no. when I do the goods receipt.
In PS I want to create a subcontracting external activity, create a PR from PS, create a PO and deliver it to the receiver in other words the subcontractor who will maintain/repair the material.
For this alternative I think I can use a BOM, create a BOM of this existing material which will be maintain/repair with the parts I will send.
My question is in this if I have thought this right, if you have experience of this please contact me.
Alternative 3
This alternative is almost the same as alternative 2 with the exception that the material Im sending will change the material no when its back from the subcontractor. So I will send a existing material and all the parts which will be use to maintain/repair this particular material from my stock/company to a subcontractor who will do the work. This material will get a new material no. when I do the goods receipt.
In PS I want to create a subcontracting external activity, create a PR from PS, create a PO and deliver it to the receiver in other words the subcontractor who will maintain/repair the material.
For this alternative I think I can use a BOM, create a BOM of this existing material which will be maintain/repair with the parts I will send. Then I have to put the new material in my external activity as a material component with negative quantity as part of the subcontracting delivery
My question is in this if I have thought this right, if you have experience of this please contact me.
I hope my question is now clear for you, we are using the defence and aero solution so what I know I do can use the subcontracting with valuated project stock
