External calibration of Instruments through auto subcontracting PR

[former_member222161]

Hi All,

We have an external calibration scenario, where in we send the measuring equiment outside for calibration. If we go for standard contol key 'PM02 (external processing w/o service)' in equipment task list, and include in a maintenance plan.When maintenance plan is scheduled and on due date the sytem generates a Purchased Requistion. However the sytem doesn't allow to change the standard purchase requisition's (generated by system) item category from blank to 'L' suncontacting and more over system doesn't allow to change to Item category to 'L' at the time of converting purchase requistion to purchased order.

Is it possible to generate a purchase requisition with Item category 'L' and account assignment 'F' by using control key 'PM02 in equipment task list for maintenance orders.

Please provide your valuable suggestions.

Thanks & regards,

HI Rajesh,

the simplest maner that you can map the scenario is via making a Service Maintenance order, in the same you have the Sub-Contracting line item also with the Non-Valuated material, which will be returning back.

you can keep the service charges for the Vendor in the maintenance Order.

Hope it helps you.
