Hi!

From the process point of view: this is not possible.

Of course it's physical possible to move the goods directly from subcontractor to customer - but in terms of owner of goods and documents in SAP, this does not match a subcontracting process. Think about automatic bookings, but don't try to shortcut the document flow.

You have a subcontracting purchase order - there you need a goods receipt, otherwise they will stay open all the time. Only then you have (own) stock, which you can sell to a customer (it's now a different article number) - with no goods receipt you would always run into negative stocks. So just stay with the normal process, only look for automatic (background jobs?) bookings to help the persons.

Hi,

Physically this can be done, but in SAP, this can be done by posting a logical GR and then a GI for the sales.

But as of sub contracting process the liability or the ownership on the goods lies with the plant which has sent for subcontracting.

Sending directly to the customer from a sub contractor is exactly not the scenario of sub contracting.
