Goods Receipt in Subcontracting process

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am beginner in SAP.

This is regarding Goods Receipt in Subcontracting process.

I have provided raw material Quantity = 100 Nos. to subcontracting vendor.

Subcontracting vendor done machining on 80 Quantity, and we have done Goods Receipt for 80 Quantity as Finished Parts.

Subcontracting vendor found 20 Quantity as Defected.

Shall I take back 20 Quantity by Movement Type 542.

OR

Shall I do Goods Receipt of 20 Quantity as Finished Product and price = 0. & then stock transfer of Finished to Raw Material.

Please reply.

You should take back not used quantity using return moment type for the earlier good issue.

lets say you provided raw material using 541 then take return using 542.

why not to take as Finished product?

1. it's raw material not finished product

2. if you have moving average price then though you take material with ZERO value, it will affect price.

Thanks

Hi

If I am understanding correctly, you are trying to receive back the 20 quantity to unrestricted stock.

You can do a transfer posting with 542 with ref to the 541 material document. This will reduce the sub-contractor stock.

Let us know, how you resolved it.

Thanks

Hi,

It depends on what you want your subcontractor to do with the faulty raw material stock - if you want them to scrap it you can scrap stock from subcontractor stock using movement type 551 and special stock "O" (the system should prompt you to enter the vendor code). If you want it returned for you to scrap it - movement 542 to return it then scrap it from your own stock.

You shouldn't receive an additional 20 of the finished parts - as you only received 80 not 100. Close the purchase order off to close off the balance of 20 remaining.

Thanks
