3rd Party Req WBS

[Former Member]

Good Evening PS Gurus,

Material “B” was added in project through 3rd Party Req WBS by giving address.

Purchase requisition & then Purchase order & then MIGO. Now Material is in project stock.

Delivery through CNS0 & PGI (done)

Question:

I hope purpose of 3rd party is to material directly to the Customer & why project delivery is needed.

Why would the material show in Project Stock?

Thanks

Hello PS Gurus,

Many thanks for explanation.

Very sorry for being away from here.

Question here is:

Material (A) is still in showing in project stock though PGI is done in VL02N, in document flow it said confirmation of service completed

How to remove the Project stock as PGI was done.

Note: Material (A) was added as 3’rd Party with Item category L

Thanks

Hi Praveen,

system behaviour is right check with LIPS table wherein it show no movement type with 3rd party with item category L after PGI movement type should be 281.

Here let say if any goods issue movement doesnot happed then material still will show in project stock.

Hi,

If material still showing warehouse stock, reverse the PGI and delivery.

Recreate the delivery for the same component and this time check selection of Thirdy party check box on delivery screen.

Hi,

Discuss with your MM team for setting up correct material settings for drop shipment (3rd party) items. In fact for drop ship items GR is not required only IR is required. You can make Vritual GR and no project stock at all.

Since the material master data was not set up correctly it let you make stock and create Project delivery and PGI. Your material behaved in a normal way as it was set up as BANC material type and where in it suppose to be as BANS.

Please ask your MM team to correct to material master data settings  else regular project stock material.

Thanks,

Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,

Apart from this change what you have mentioned, do we need to maintain setting wrt network order type, account assignment category and item category group in material master. Throw some light on these areas as well for better understanding.

I ask this because in CJ20N, component, procurement parameter tab, 3rd party order option available is greyed out.

Appreciate your support on this. Thanks.

Hi Murthy,

Material master data settings would be

Sales Org 2 view - Item category group - BANS

MRP2 view - Procurement type - F

MRP4 view - Ind/collective requirements - 1

MRP1 view - MRP type - ND

In Project builder you should select the radio button Network procurement for 3rd party delivery.

Item category should be N (non-stock).

Discuss with your MM team and get more info on this and go ahead.

Thanks,

Sudhakar

Thank You Sudhakar for your time to explain regarding 3rd party purchase in PS.

Hope Praveen also should be able to understand the scenario.

Because of PR is making with the reference of wbs or network,

Whenever you make GRN then check stock with MMBE stock show project stock

Project delivery is need to project stock/inventory out from system, other wise project stock will stand in system.

Dear praveen,

Your question is having logic conceptually.  But think practically as when vendor directly delivering to customer where exactly the actual costs should go.  It is quite obhious that u created po for wbs and all the cost are accumulated at wbs when u do grn. 

So as sanjeev rightly said, you r doing GRN because you are purchasing material so proj stock will be there for that wbs.  So you will be doing delievery through project so that inventory is out from your wbs.
