Subcontracting PDS not generated

Former Member

Dear Friends,

We are trying to generate subcontracting PDS on CIF from ECC 5.0 to SCM 5.0. We have the vendor location, the plant, material all integrated, and also have created the Subcontracting location created for the Plant and Vendor locations.

The product in SCM is associated with the Plant, subcontractor and the vendor locations.

The subcontracting PIR at material group level is available for the material, and is assigned to a Routing for the material (with control key pp02), this routing and the corresponding BOM are associated with a created Production Version.

When we try to integrate the PDS, we dont get any error message, and the Queue is also empty. There is no PDS for the product location (both production and subcon) in SCM. We have other inhouse production PDS created.

Any help will be appreciated.

In brief try using the following :

Retransfer the PDS using the following transaction in R3 - CURTO_CREATE

This should fix your PDS creation problem

**********************************************************************************************

In detail, let me just list out the steps for setting up a SUBCONTRACTING scenario

(1) Make all the R3 Master Data settings

(2) CIF the Vendor master

(3) Create Subcontracting Locations ( Plant_Vendor)Manually in APO and attach the relevant Plant and Vendor

(4) Create the Transportation Lane between the following

A. Plant -> Plant_Vendor

B. Plant_Vendor-> Plant

    • Just create a Means of Transport( Truck, Sea, Air) as the product list is automatically entered when you CIF the PIR from R3**

(5) CIF the Purch Info Records

  • Check whether the Trans Lanes are created and the Products are created AUTOMATICALLY at the Subcontracting Location*

(6) CIF the SNP PDS and if it doesnt work use the CURTO_CREATE

************************************************************************************

Points to be noted for the Header Material:

(1) As someone suggested, make sure that the subcontracting PIR has a VERSION mentioned.( XXXX)

(2) You have a BOM created with Usage 5 and have asscociated it with the version XXXX

(3) You have a Production Version created for the material with the one mentioned above-XXXX version

Hope this helps. I have listed all the points which I can remember, however please go through the documentation for complete details.

Regards

KA

ERgul,

Follow Kumar's instruction. This is what we did.

Hi Shaun.

As well as the other suggestions, you do not specifically say, but the sub-contracting PIR needs to be at plant level with the Production Version assigned to it.

This overcame a similar problme for us.

I urge you to look in SLG1 log in R/3 side keeping the selection on CIF and the times when you transfer PDS to give you a clue.
