Typical PP scenarios: How to Model in PS

[Former Member]

Dear PS Experts,

We are going to use PS without PP. We informed customer , we will not assign Finished products to any network activites.. In fact no BOM, No product costing & no material master with Procurement type E.This should prevent any PP Orders. All material mater will be ROH with Procurement type F.If subassemblies are to be produced, costed , it should be thro' network activity & it should be part of project.

We could still have some scenarios What are solutions to these  scenarios ...

1: External processing : Is there external processing possible for PS01, PS02, Ps03, PS04 & PS05 type of network activites. this means after doing one activity ,next one goes to outside vendor... then come back for another network activity

2:Phantoms: Can we assign parts with phantom setting in materila master having BOM & will it be ignored like in PP BOM & raw material will go direclty to network activites where phantom bom was assigned

Thank you much in advance,

HI Jatin Desai - Greetings,

You can use the Network Order for Issueing the Raw Material throgh 281Q & PG1 thorugh 581Q.

But the FG ll not be valuated, so that PGI you ll not get the Accounting Entry.  Check with your FICO Team also for this.

Hi,

If you are not intended to use PP module, then use the internal activity PS01 for assemblying the externally procred material for assembly.

Set up work centers and assign to production activities and plan hours. So you will get planned cost.

When mah hours are consumed and posted you will be seing the actual cost on network activity.

Here you have to discuss with your MM/WM team for issuing goods to network activity for consumption. In general we issue goods to production order and then put back into project stock for further consumption.

I suspect whenever goods issued to network with movemnt type 281, you will not be able to deliver the goods you know what I mean, PGI for client destination.

You have to have through discusson with MM/WM team on logistics part which I seems to bit complicated with standard set up otherwise you have to develop Zmovements which would fecilitate you to ship out the goods also.

Besides MM/WM, most important aspect is cost flow, discuss with your FICO team also.

Thanks,

Hi Sudhakar,

for consumption use 281, for GR of finished goods just like production order use 581

after GR of finished product we have to dispatch we can use  TCODE: CNS0.

this will fullfill all requirements.

thanks

Hi Sudhakar,

consider the scenario of construction project(cement plant or boiler plant construction). When we issue goods to internal activity, the material gets consumed to that activity or network. The business may call for scenario like we may sometime need to do some value addition to raw material(say fabrication of silo etc from raw material) and store it as semi finished product. Further during erection activity, we can do issue semi finished products to that erection activity where consumption to that activity is final.

How to consider goods issue to fabrication activity(semi finished product) and goods receipt back to stores as fabricated item. I am clear on cost part, but really confused on material traceability. If you can elaborate on this part, it would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for your understanding and your ideas to follow.

Hi,

Treat your fabrication unit as Production unit. Create a manual planned order (MD11) and then convert to Production order using CO40. Now you can issue goods to production order and confirm. After confirmation, create goods receipt into project stock.

Thanks,
