Third Party purchase order with provision of component supply

[Former Member]

Hi

We need to create a Third party PO so that we can do statistical GR.

( Part is shiped directly by vendor to customer)

But we need to supply component to vendor, and vendor after processing ships to Customer.

How we can replicate the same.

I though we can create new Item category, but that also seems to be not feasible.

Any idea to address the requirement will be helpful

Thanks for the input, If I use sub contrcating PO and carry out MIGO with 101, this will be std MIGO i.e inventory will go up.

Whereas the part would have been shiped from vendor to the Customer. So there should not be any inventory build up at our side. Yes component inventory should go down (542)

How we can do the statistical GR in this case. and still carry out 542 for the component.

Hi,

First of all SAP doesn't provide facility of creating new Item Category.

As per your requirement, you are asking about Third-Party and Subcontracting combined. You cannot use both functionalities together, because SAP puts both into the item category (quite a big lack of functionality in SAP).

Since subcontracting is more complex (automatic background postings), you should use item category for subcontracting and manually (or user exit) change the delivery address to that of the customer so that the vendor physically ships direct to the customer. Technically in SAP you need to post normal GR plus delivery and GI to the customer as if it would go through your warehouse.

But as a work around, you can try out with following Process Flow;

1. VA01 - Create Sales order for material F1 and Customer C1

2. As a result of this a Subcontracting PR will get generated automatically. (For this take help of SD Consultant, it is controlled by Schedule Line category in VOV6, take copy of CS and change Item category to 3 i.e. Subcontracting)

3. ME21N - Subcontracting PO w.r.t. PR (Considering BOM is in place). In PO under "Delivery Address" Tab, maintain the Customer Code as C1. As a result of this, vendor will get information that stock is to be dispatched to Customer C1.

4. MB1B - Transfer Posting of raw materials via 541

5. J1IF01 - Create Subcontracting Challan w.r.t. TP mat. doc.

6. MIGO - GR w.r.t. PO (Here it will update stock of the material F1 via 101 and auto consumption of components via 543 O). Refer Subcontracting Challan.

7. J1IFQ - Challan Reconciliation

8. J1IF13 - Challan COmpletion

9. MIRO - LIV w.r.t. Subcontracting PO

10. VL01N - Create Delivery w.r.t. Sales Order to write-off the stock of material F1

11. VF01 - Create Billing Document on Customer C1

12. J1IIN - Outgoing Excise Invoice (I think, it is not required)
