sap subcontracting process

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a question regarding subcontracting process.

My company procures subcontract material A from vendor. Material A is made up of Material B which is a phantom material.

Material B is inturn made from material C.Company provides mateial C to vendor and vendor returns material A.

When a subcontract PO is created i see components B and C in the PO. Where as we send only one component C to vendor.

How should this be setup?

Thanks

Hi,

As per your business process, Component will "C" & Final Receive material will "A"

No need to include item "B", as there is no need to keep track of it in Subcontract Order.

Make Subcontract PO with Header Item-"A" & Item component-"C" & issue the same-"C" to vendor.

So that during GR, C will consume from your stock & A will come to your stock.

Hi,

   If you dont want to track material B, no need to include the same in BOM. Create BOM for the material A with material C as the component and maintain the quantity accordingly. If you are using material B for in case of inhouse production, then maintain 2 BOM for the material A.

1. BOM for material A with B & C components (Multi level BOM with components for inhouse prod)

2. Alternate BOM for material A with C as component (Single lvel BOM with component C for external procurement)

   If you are dealing with multiple subcontract vendors, you may check the thread:

Why are you giving the component Material B and C both for material A in PO?

You business scenario is like that

From material C to Material B

Then material B to Material A.

You have sent the material C to vendor and you are receiving material A from vendor.
