ME21N: Create Purchase Order (Subcontracting)

While creating a Subcontracting Purchase Order for an AFS material, system is not able to determine components and gives error.

Message no. ME154: 'Not possible to determine any components'

This happens when:

- Both header and component material has same grid,

- Header material has 'Planned Delivery Days' more than 0 (zero).

Other terms

Message no. ME154: 'Not possible to determine any components', LMEPOF2B, ME21N, subcontracting PO, SAPLMEPO

Reason and Prerequisites

This happens only when data is entered in a certain sequence:

- ME21N: Enter plant, purchase group, company code, purchasing

organisation.

- Enter material, item category "L" and PO quantity.

- Press enter, system will ask you to enter plant.

- Enter plant and again Press Enter.

- System will display following error message:

"No subcontracting for AFS materials without sizes. Check item 00010"

Message no. 8W284

- Select any grid values in schedule lines and press enter.

- After this we will get the following message:

"Not possible to determine any components" Message no. ME154

Hi

Check this also.

In PO, default plant in item overview tab, is it matching with the plant u entered while creating the BOM.

Delivery date mentioned in PO may not exists in BOM valid dates.

Thank you,

This error happened to me to in my previous implementation.

To fix this issue:

1) Create BOM

2) For the Finished Product (Bom header), go to MM02.

3) Enter the MRP4 View --> Prod Version.

You need to maintain this. Once this is done. PO will be fine.

Hi.

In my case this issue cause of PO delivery and BOM valid date has meet the problem

So when I changed delivery date this error cleared

HOIL.

Hi,

Please check whether for the materials which you send to the sub-contractor are necessarily to be defined with procurement strategy as Sub-Contracting. The processed material which you receive material from the sub-contractor is to be defined as sub-contracted. In your example if A has components B & 4C then, you need to maintain A as sub-contracted material in MRP2 view as procurement strategy F (External Procurement) with special procurement as 30 (Sub-Contracting). Then you have to maintain BOM for material A & maintain materials B (qty 1) & C(qty 4) as components. In this case, when you convert PR with item category L (Sub-Contracting), system will automatically pick up the components as B & C with respective quantity.

Hope sothis helps you.

but the problem is different i think. because.

is there any another eason for that i think ..

thanks in advance,

Hi

Check out the material which you have ordered,i. e. which you are going to receive from vendor, It should be your header material of your BOM. Check the BOM availability in CS03 and check the explosion in CS11 whether it is explding there. If not create itin CS01 use the BOM usage as Production(1) during creation. Use it in PO with L item category, you should be able to get the explosion in it. Just have a check, the Valid from date Field during CS11 .

Best Regards
