Variant Config with Sub-contracting/Vendor

Hi Experts,
I've a scenario where we take the Sales Orders for configurable items, using the configurator. Depending on certain configuration parameters (i.e input items/operations), we have a need to send the Sales Order directly to our Vendor/Sub-contractors for manufacturing that configurable item.
To that end, I wanted to know:
1. If this can be handled using standard SAP (without any developments/enhancements) - what is your expert recommendation?
2. How can VC be integrated with Purchasing function (haven't come across the same, yet).
Any insight into this would be of great help.
Thanks in advance
Ajay

it sounds like Third-Party Order Processing

Excess material remain with sub contracting vendor

HI expert
I have made subcontracting po for which migo, miro had done, we had made manual BOM in the po, usually my BOM ratio 1:1, But now end user had done mistake, by taking 1:3 ratio, tht mean for 100 he taken 300. My 200 stock I lying with sub contractor, I want to take it back that 200.
I donu2019t want to reverse any thing from the system, is there any solution for the above except reverse
how should i go about
Regard
Nabil

Use 542 mvt type and provide vendor in MB1B transaction to get material back to your plant.

Sub-Contracting Vendor

Could a normal vendor (supplying material / services) be a Subcontracting vendor ?
i yes , then how? are there any settings?

Hi There
Create the sub contracting info record for that vendor with the material you are going to get the Services/Value addition process from them,
Thanks

Sub contracting vendor returns

Hi,
We have an issue that,
when we return to vendor a sub contract Finished goods from Quality Inspection
(T code QA32).System will return components(mvmt 544) also along with FG
but my clients want only the FG should be returned to Vendor not components
(becaz it is difficult to track all the components and becaz of excise recon-
cilation issues also)
What will be the solution.
Pl help

Sub-contracting Vendor - De-activate

Hi All,
In Sub-contracting, after creating the Sub-contrating PO, I am trying to transfer the BOM to vendor, but right now the material provide to vendor is manadatory field(i.e Vendor)
The requirement that while transfering the BOM to Vendor, the system should not ask the vendor. Where to make the filed optional.

Hi,
Actually Vendor must be maintained during Transfer Posting with 541
But you can go to OMBW
Here double click on 541 movement type
Now double click on "Materials management" and mark Vendor as optional.

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.

Variant Config with Plng w/o Final Assembly case

Friends,
I have requirements to map Variant Config scenario for products that are Forecasted for the purposes of driving the dependent materials production/procurement.
The Finished configured part is forecasted for standard configuration, however, it is only assembled at the receipt of a Sales Order. The sub-assemblies/components are manufactured/procured in advance driven by the dependent demand frm parents PIR's. I can use Strgy 50 & make the matl configurable, but the system asks me to create Config Plng Profile to be able to create PIR's for it.
Want to know if there is a simpler way/strategy group with which I can manage the same? The configuration process itself is pretty straight forward, its the forecasting part that is creating the prblm to me.
Any ideas.

Guys,
I found the way out for this. It all depends on how can the business:
1. Forecast accurately on the diff configurations possible (Plng Profile & Table)
2. Can they produce good consumption history on the lower lvl assemblies/components
The following can be done based on the buss reqts:
Finished prod's planned with Strgy 25, assemblies with 70 or Use Strgy 56, 89 for char based plng. The latter are v complicated unless the data is available on usage probabilities of config paramters..
thanks

Sub Contracting Order & Vendor Return

Hi,
We use to send Materials to our Sub Contracting Vendor (MB1B - Mov. Type 541).
Now in one of the cases, we had to cancel all the Orders given to the Vendor, and we want the Materials back from the Vendor.
The Materials need to move to Quality also, as per our requirement from the Quality Department.
Should we take back the Materials with Mov. Type 542 or is there any other Movement Type for the same.
What all changed needs to be done in MM& QM.
Also requested to send me the List of Movement Types.
Thanks & Regards,
P K Karn

Sub-contract process with T.codes..?urgent

Hi
can anybody explain me ,
what are all procedures to be followed to carry Sub-contract process with T.codes.
From sub-contract PO to Subcontract challan output
Explain me step by step process with t.codes
Thanks
sap-mm

Hi,
Sub Contracting Process with t.codes are:
(1) You have create material in MM01(Finished Goods ,mat type FERT) that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM (CS01) with components (Raw Materials , Mat type ROH). Any waste generated as scraps or by products received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity or in % basis in the BOM in CS01.
(2) Create a subcontracting PO (ME21N, Item Category L). Maintain Purchase Info Record (ME11)for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components(Raw Materials) 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:
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
(5) Invoice Verification (MIRO) for SC Invoice.
(6) Payment in F-53
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...

Sub-contracting at two different vendors directly monitored by the company.

Initially the raw material is supplied to a sub-contracting vendor A by the company to process it. After vendor A finishes processing it, the material will be shipped by vendor A to vendor B on behalf of the company for further processing which marks the end. The material carries the same name X throughout the process flow. The company should be able to monitor the stock at both the sub-contractors A and B at any given point of time. However, the company pays both the vendors A and B through separate invoices.
How do we realize this in SAP MM.

I'm not sure what you mean by the material having the same name, but the process is like this:
BOM 1: Header=FG, son=SFG (assembled by vendor A)
BOM3: Header=SFG, son=RawMaterial
FG: Procurement type F, Special procurement=30 (subcontracting)
SFG: same
Create subcontracting info records for both FG and SFG.
Then either from MRP or manually create PR\PO for both vendors.
Move stock of RM to A (transfer to subcontracting stock).
Do Goods Receipt of SFG into YOUR STOCK (even if the material doesn't really arrive), then move SFG to B (in the system). Physically material moves directly from A to B.
Last step, when FG arrives, you do again GR into your stock.

Inbound delivery for Sub-Contracting Scheduling Agreement

Hi All,
I am working on inbound delivery creation --> PGR for sub-assembly (Semi-finished product) which we receive from sub-contracting vendor through scheduling agreement. At time of PGR, it should do MVT#101 for sub-assembly and 543-O for raw components.
I already created JIT/FRC releases and did PGI (MVT # 541-O) for raw components. Now I am manually creating inbound delivery (VL31n) to post PGR. When I am doing PGR with VL60, I am getting below error.
Any help or suggestion please ?
As observation, I have seen that in inbound delivery I am only seeing sub-assembly (semi-finished) product. I am not able see "SC Component" tab which I have seen on other environment (ECC 6.0 with EHP4). Is it related to system limitation where we can't do PGR for sub-contracting ?
Thanks.

Hi AKPT,
Sorry if i miss understood but note 352243 says to refer note: 338119
"In the current release, it is not possible to process the components to be cleared when you post the goods receipt for the inbound delivery. (See Notes 338119, 197864 and 199703 also).
However when you implement these corrections, the error log is also displayed for the subitems to be cleared and further processing can be carried as described in Note 338119."
When I refer note : 338119, there is no correction. Am I missing anything ?
Again my issue is I am not able to perform Post Goods Receipt. Even after doing PGR, if system do 543 for raw component, I am fine.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ravi

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.

Sub Contracting Challan

Hi All,
In Subcontracting process first we are sending the raw material to sub contracting vendor with Sub Contracting Challan. Now subcontrating Vendor return the raw material due to quality problem. So, please suggest what process we have to do in SAP ? Because we have to closed the sub contracting challan and stock of raw material should come under unrestricted use.
Thanks in Advance.....
Sanjay

HI
Take back material with MB1B mov type 542. Reconcile the challan wrt this 542 mov type document.
And then complete the challan also.
Your Subcon PO is still open and u can send fresh material to vendor with MB1B 541 and make a new challan and then complete ur process.
Thank You

Sub contract in sales

I need sub contract in sales.
Ex:
Customer sent material to plant they need some process in our plant for that I need scenario and configuration.
How we allow customer material into plant?
After finished work how to deliver products to customer and billing also.
Please help me any one

Hi Dharmananda rao
Sub Contracting Cycle :
(1) You have a material that can be procured externally, and you have maintained BOM with components. Any waste generated and received during subcontracting process can be maintained as component with negative quantity.
(2) You create a subcontracting PO (PO with Item Category L). You can also maintain Purchase Info Record for Subcontract category for material and subcontractor.
(3) You make a transfer posting to issue components for SC PO. 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"
(4) You receive 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:
DR FG Stock/ SC By-Product Stock
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(for finished goods received)
DR Subcontracting Charges
CR GR/IR Clg
(for moneys payable to Subcontractor)
DR Consumption (Components)
CR Change in Stock (FG/ SC By-Product )
(material provided to Vendor is now charged to expense)
5) You do the IV for SC Invoice, and the process is complete.
Process of Subcontract in MM :
Sub-contract business process:
You want to buy material from the supplier (processed material/ assembled item) , but for some reason (quality of certain item / price ) you will give some component to vendor .
Vendor shall process the item / use the item provided & supply the final item.
SAP process:
1.Create the finished goods material code.
2.Maintain the BOM for the material.
3.Create PO with item category as "L" .
4.Issue material to vendor with movement type 541
5.Receive the material against the PO with movement type 101.
6.MIRO to account for vendor's invoice for the service charge& material used by him.
Can anybody tell me how a process has to be given to subcontracting?
Suppose, I have 3 operations 1)weaving 2)dyeing 3)cutting & packing
if no 2 process (i.e Dyeing) has to be given to subcontracting, what process should i follow ?
The following process to be followed for subcontracting.
1. Item code(material master) to be created at the stage of before dyeing.
2. Item code(material master) to be created after Dyeing as subcontracted item.(F30)
3. Bill of material to becreated for the material(2) calling for material(1)
4. Inforecord and source list to be created for material(2) with the corresponding vendor
5. PO to be released for material (2)
6.Along with PO the material(1) to be issued to vendor
7.On receipt of material when GR is made the stock with vendor will get updated.
How to Create a Subcontract Order?
To create a subcontract order, proceed as follows:
Enter the material you want to order and the item category for subcontracting (L) in the order item.
Press ENTER to display the screen for component processing.
Enter the components that the vendor requires to manufacture the product.
Please note:
You do not need to enter the date required for the components. This date is proposed by the system when you press ENTER.
It is calculated as follows:
Delivery date of the item - Planned delivery time
If you do not want the quantity of the components to be changed if the order quantity of the end product is altered, set the indicator Fixed quantity (column F).
You can determine whether the components are available on the date required by selecting Edit -> Availability check.
If you entered a bill of material as the material in the subcontract order, the components are created automatically.
If you want to determine the components in the bill of material at a later date (for example, if the bill of material is subsequently changed), choose Item -> Component -> New BOM explosion. The existing components are deleted and redetermined in the bill of material.
Save the purchase order.
When you print the purchase order, the components are printed per order item
Subcontracting - Key Points
Special Procurement Process.
Item category: L
Order type: NB
In info record vendor should be maintained as subcontractor.
Vendor (Subcontractor) receives the components used to manufacture a finished product directly from your company or through third party.
Your company should place a purchase order for the finished product. In this manually you can enter the required individual components or it can be determined via the explosion of BOM (if exists).
Stock check at vendor level: ME2O
Company stock check: MMBE
GR for individual components through movement type: 501 or 561 (if with out PO or without reference).
GI to subcontracting vendor: through movement type 541.
GR from sub contracting vendor: through movement type: 101
Movement type 543 is displayed to cancel the material cost account.
If the subcontracting order has to be generated through materials planning,the special procurement key has to be set in MRP 2 screen.
- To create the Subcon Info Record : Tcode ME11 - Info Category - Click Subcontracting
- To create Material BOM : Tcode CS01
- With the Info and Material Setup, you can then create the Purchase Order in Tcode ME21N
