Integration between APO annd SNC for 'work order collaboration'

[Former Member]

In my reading of the 'work order collaboration' process in SNC, it's clear that the typical starting point for the process is a subcontracting purchase order in SAP ERP.

But supposing the subcontracting process is planned within APO, with purchase reqs to subcontractors being generated by, for example, SNP heuristics.

And suppose there are scheduling agreements with the subcontractor, so that the converted purchase reqs become schedule lines in ERP.

Can these schedule lines be passed to SNC to kick off the 'work order collaboration' process?

Thanks,

Hi

WOC is an extension of POC, where the customer can monitor the production progress at Contract Manufacturer Site.

It is advised to convert the Purchase Requistions to Purchase Orders if PIR exists inplace to use WOC .

instead of using Schedule lines from Scheduling Agreement.

Vinod,

Thanks for your reply.

What do you mean by 'if PIR exists to use WOC'?

Are you referring to Purchasing Info Records here? Is there a particular setting required to use WOC?

Thanks,

Bob.

Hi

Yes i am referring to Purchase info Record and you need to have a PIR(Subcontracting) inplace.
