Transport Transfer between vendors

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

we have next scenario: we have stock subcontracting in vendor A. We need to do manipulate this stock in vendor B, but it's necessary to transport stock from vendor A to vendor B. What is the best possibility to do it? The responsible to transport this stock is vendor A.

Thank you, I will give puints!

Hi Daniel,

Is your individulal sub-contractors have been treated as a seperate storage location attached to any of your plants?

-- Only exists stock subcontract associated to vendor A and vendor B. Is not a external storage location

Hey Daniel,

From what i think, the only solution is to enter the GR 101 for the F-30 from the vendor 1 and then to issue it to vendor 2 or 3 or 4 by another document with 541.

No need to receive the physical stock.Once when u get the information about the second vendor and when the stock is is going to be moved, make the receipt for the F-30 material and do the transfer posting simultaneously.

"""Hi,

1.

If subcontractors are using the same components, you cannot transfer the from one subcontractor's special stock to the other's (standard SAP).

2.

If subcontractor1's output (F-30 material) is the input (component) of subcontractor2, you can solve this by specifying subcontractor2 on the delivery address tab of subcontractor1's PO. The goods will arrive to subcontractor2 by mvt 101 + 'O'.""

-- The second case is not posible. Is not a sequential process. When Vendor A finish his manipulation shouldn't transfer stock to Vendor B until CUSTOMER says it. Can be a lot of days between two steps.

The first case I don't understand. Can you tell me more please?

Hi,

I think you should tell what you want exactly because it's not clear what is the process you are speaking about.

1.

You have to vendor: sc-vendor1 & sc-vendor2.

sc-vendor produces material1 (f-30) using component1, component2

sc-vendor2 produces material2 (f-30) using component1, component3

You cannot move component1 from sc-vendor1's special stok directly to sc-vendor2's special stock, no mvt is designed for this in standard system.

My scenario is:

1.

You have to vendor: sc-vendor1 & sc-vendor2.

sc-vendor1 produces material1 (f-30) using component1

independent moments, is not sequential, we can't to use purchase order sc-vendor1 to put delivery adrees sc-vendor2

sc-vendor2 produces material2 (f-60) using material1 (f-30)

Yes, please check the delivery address tab of your PO (that was issued to sc-vendor1). You will find a thick box ('SC vend') and a field ('Vendor'). Fill them (refering to sc-vendor2) and when you book the GR the goods will get to sc-vendor2's special stock by mvt 101 + 'O'.

Hi,

I repeat, this solution is not possible. When sc-vendor 1 finish material 1, the destiny of this material is not sc-vendor2 always, maybe is sc-vendor3 or sc-vendor4, etc... It's independent things. When you create purchase order for sc-vendor 1, user doesn't know what sc-vendorX will be next step.

Hi,

In that case you will need to do the transfer in two steps, first do a MB1B 542 for vendor A and then do a new issue using MB1B 541 to vendor B,

Transportation charges if any, will need to be met with a direct FI posting.

Hello Daniel

I feel the second option given by Csaba is the best to map your scenario.

ie go for the delivery address of the Vendor B in the subcontracting PO for Vendor A.

You have to just get in touch with the vendor B and enter the GR with movement type 101-O once the vendor B receives the materials from vendor A.
