MD04 - Subreq - Storage location MRP area

847 Views

Hi all,

I have an issue of Subreq in MD04 which is not assigned to the the good MRP area.

I'm explaining :

Business process

-> I work with a subcontractor

case 1 : either I buy raw material to be processed and delivered it directly to my subcontractor

case 2 : either I send raw material from my physical stock to my subcontractor

-> I create subcontracting purchase order with indication as components, the raw material.

-> In case of the components are already in my subcontractor (case 1), the reservation (Subreq) should not consume my physical stock.

-> In case of the components are in my physical stock (case 2), the reservation (Subreq) should consume the physical stock.

Solution choosen

Then I decided to create a storage location MRP area : "EXTERN" as External.

I assigned a storage location "EXT" to this MRP area.

I assigned this MRP area to the material in MRP1 / MRP Area.

In the purchase order, in the components popup,

For case 1 : I assigned "EXT" as Prod.Stor.Loc and Supply area

For case 2 : nothing special is filled

Issue

For the case 1, althought I assigned the storage location "EXT", the Subcontractor Requirement is not attached to the good MRP area.

WHY?

Remark : I didn't use the subcontracting MRP area because I would like to have 2 cases : case 1 & case 2.

Thank you in advance for your help about this problem which make me nervous ! 😊
