Sales configuration/assembly to order

[Former Member]

My company has been using SAP for a number of years. We have
a centralised factory and distributed sales offices with warehousing. Sales
orders were quite simple; a product was manufactured to order, shipped direct to
the end client or local sales warehouse for onward shipping. Invoices were
simple: 1 item produced = 1 item invoiced.

Now we are carrying out customisation for clients at the
local sales warehouse. Not very complex but could range from attaching vinyl logos,
adding locks, cutting vents which can take anything from 5 minutes to half an
hour labour.

The basic product still comes from the factory to local
warehouse but now there are several added components or value added tasks. The
question is how best to manage this so the client doesn’t get an invoice for a
collection of components plus labour? We also want to be able to see the
complete gross margin including all the components and not have to carry extra
analysis.

Is the answer Sales Order BOMs? If so please can anyone advise
me the best way to go? What about routings/labour cost?

Are there any guides available on how to set it up?

Thanks in anticipation

Dear,

The basic product still comes from the factory to local

warehouse but now there are several added components or value added tasks. The

question is how best to manage this so the client doesn’t get an invoice for a

collection of components plus labour? We also want to be able to see the

complete gross margin including all the components and not have to carry extra

analysis.

In SAP ,you have to show the every movements of Material from Factory .Now ,coming to the point is ,the Product comes from Factory to Warehouse ,here ,you are adding some materials and selling to end customer right .Now ,you want to be show some additional labor charges for that product .From ,Factory to Warehouse ,use ,STO Process then create the BOM with that main product and sell this to End customer .For additional charges capturing ,use some surcharges condition types ..

Or else If this is ,dont want then go by Consignment Process but you have to be manually add that another materials for main product at Issue level and then sell it by Consignment Issues Process to Customer .

Fill Up is done before Issues from Factory to Warehouse .

If you have any doubts please let me know .

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

You can choose the option provided by Raj if there is no use of the managing the component stock.

Means how many X component is attached to the Actual Material.

If there is no component stock issue you can also think of the Pricing conditions for the component value and labour cost.

You can easily maintain this in the pricing control data with the calculation as per your client's need.

Do let me know what else you want.

Thanks,

Hi Steven,

It can be very simply achieved by following the below approach:

Have two different materials -

MATERIAL 1: Physical product (With Stock) - Item Category with Billing Relevance as "A" and the item category will have delivery possible. - FOR PHYSICAL PRODUCT

MATERIAL 2: One a Dummy material (No Stock) - Item Category with Billing Relevance as "I" and the item category will not have delivery possible. - FOR LABOR

Please let me know for any further clarifications.
