Subcontracting process in PS

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Requirement - I need to supply some raw materials to an external vendor and need to issue a finished material to the project.

Need to understand how to execute such a cycle, do we need to assign the raw materials as non-stock materials and generate PR ...... i am not clear on the ewxecution steps.. i will appreciate of someone can list down the high level steps to execute this cycle,...

Thank you.

Regards,

Hi Jatinder,

Subcontracting material will be assigned as stock item. Its BOM will have raw material as items. MRP will generate PR for sub con matl and dependent requirements. The raw material will be procured and sent to vendor. Finally subcon matl will be received from vendor. Discuss the process with your MM consultant.

Dear Jatinder,

In standard SAP, it is not possible to use 541+Q (Q refers to Project Stock) to transfer Project stock to subcontracting vendor as Simple Subcontracting.

So, it is recommended to create new storage location to each subcontracting vendor & use 311+Q movement type, based on this it is possible to monitor stock at subcontracting vendor.

Create PR with A/c assignment “Q” & Item cat "L" or Direct PO creation

Create PO (A/c assignment “Q” & Item cat "L")

Release PO (if release strategy exists)

Define new storage location for Subcontracting Vendor

Transfer posting components to Subcontracting vendor with 311+Q

Check the stock with Subcontracting vendor using Tcode MMBE (not with ME2O)

Create Subcontracting challan with ref. to material document

Print out of subcontracting challan

Receive final product against subcontracting PO with 101 movement type

Reconciliation of challan

Complete the challan

Check status of challan

Please check  this scenario for Subcontracting using Project stock.

Thanks

Hi Jatinder,

please describe a little bit more in detail what the process is.

when do you want to post the GI to the project? at the same time when posting the GI for sending the raw materials to the vendor? Why are you sending raw materials to the vendor?

At first it sounds like a subcontracting process. You send raw materials to the vendor and he will do something and send you a finished good back (SAP-Standard). When you have the finished good on stock, you can post the GI for the project (also SAP-Standard).

best regards

Matthias
