Tools send to subcontractor along with raw material

[Former Member]

Hi,

We r sending raw amterial and tools to subcontractor.

And receiving semifinished goods along the tolls (which we have send).

But when we mapped the process in SAP. here Tools r also getting consumed, which we do not want.

How this can be achieved in SAP?

Hi,

Can you please tell, in CS01, what should be BOM usage (1/2/3........).

hi,

You can do one more thing:

1. Make the one material which will be consumed with its components..

2. Make the tools as different material with the its component same as material name and then it'll become the recursive material...

3. Add these two materials in the two line items in the PO, so that one will be consumed and other will not be...

4. and then get them back differently via referencing the same document...

BOM USAGE :

It toally depends on the way you wanna use the BOM...it may be for production or engineering or costing or it may be used for ALL as well...so make the use as per your requirement...

Hi Priyanka,

For tools can we use the material type as FHMI?

hi,

Yes you can but it states:

Production resources/tools are procured externally and used in production or plant maintenance. A material master record of this material type can contain purchasing data, but not sales data. It is managed on a quantity basis.

· Jigs and fixtures

· Measuring and test equipment

Hi,

One workaround....create a material code in UNBW or you spares ...and copy moventtype 541 & 542 and create moventtype 941 & 942 and send the material by 941and when the material is received do 942 movement .

for 941 & 942 , you can make optional field for your reference and also can use text

Pl. try

Hi,

If you are sending tools not for consumption. Please dont mention in the Purchase order - components provided by the vendor.

Instead send the material (tools) to the vendor using 541 movment type w/o reference to the PO.

challan process will follow as std. SAP. Get the tools back from the vendor using 542 movement type and complete the SC challan.
