Subcontracting and component's MD04

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Need a clarification on this.

When i get a sub-contracting order for the header material, the requirements to components are displayed as 'SubReq - MRP element data' in the components MD04. But the problem is i see two entries for the same order i mean two Subreq's for the same Purchase Order is displayed. When GI is done for the components with respect to the sub-contracting order the entries are removed. Is this a standard functionality or a kind of inconsistency ?

The entries with the same dates are the multiple ones.

Please do help out.

Regards,

Rahul

Hi Rahul

What you observe on your system is according to the system standard design.

The subcontracting requirements are first displayed under the vendor stock segment. If there is no stock to cover the subcontractin requirement at vendor level (such as on your screenshot), the subcontracting requirement is also displayed at plant level, so that you can replenish it and transfer it to vendor.

Once there is enough stock at vendor level to cover the subcontracting requirement, you won't see it at plant level anymore.
