Liquid solvents process

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

How to map this process in SAP PP. Supplier manufactures Metal tanks for filling liquid chemicals, transports, erects and fills the tank with liquid chemicals at client site. The refilling of solvent is done by regular GR process, while the erected tank at customer end is maintained by the supplier through regular maintenance process. Monthly maintenance is done at client end by the supplier. How to map the tank manufacturing process and costs and also the service billing costs. Can this be done by discrete manufacturing process or some other better SAP solutions are there?

Thanks

Hi,

Supplier is doing the production of tank how you want it should behave I have one suggestion you look for that.

You can create supplier as a Plant implement discrete manfacturing than do the stock transfer to Client site.

you can try for this solution.if you have any other doubt kindly revert.

Thanks & Regards

Hello

You may use the following process

1.  Two sales order 1. for manufacturing order and 2. for the service of the tank.

2. Manufacturing Sales order, production process - Discrete manufacturing process. Cost can be handle through the Production order.

3. For Service order, as there is no delivery of the material and only the service charges,the order should be on the non valuated material (DIEN). Create separate production order type and book the service hours only.

Hope I get you correctly and this helps

Hi

At the customer end the solvent delivering set up (pipeline, tanker, valves etc) need to be set up and maintained. How can we manage in SAP this erection set up at customer end using SAP and capture the maintenance costs and service billings.

Thanks

Hello

2 options

1. If the material used in setup (piping, tanker etc) is the customer material, than no problem, you only have to book the labor hours in the production order created against the service sales order.

2. if the setup material is of supplier, than you may bill these material with the Main tank invoice and book the labor hour against the production order created against the service sales order

OR

if you want to generate the service invoice, Than you may raise 2 invoices one is with the service charges and 2nd with the setup materials.

You may also consult the 2nd process with your SD team.

Hope this helps
