goods damaged by Subcontract vendor

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

We may need your assistance in resolving this issue. I have searched in forum before creating this discussion.

This is about sub contract process.

We are using a recursive BOM(header and component will have same material in BOM).

We will create a sub contract PO to SC vendor for 10 qty.

While doing service to the material Vendor may damage some material. Let us consider he was damaged 2 quantity. We will do the GR for remaining 8 qty and we will post invoice to 8 qty.

We want to collect the money(cost of material) from Sub con Vendor for damaging 2 qty. Vendor is going to pay for the damaged quantity.

I have checked subsequent adjustment and subsequent credit memo but it may impact on our material accounting's. As we are collecting the money from Vendor it should not effect our material accounting.

SAP will have standard solution for this but I may not be able find that. Could you please give me some light on how to map this in SAP.

When I searched in forum some one suggested post 2 qty to scrap with 551 O and create a debit note in VA01 Transaction with doc type DR.

it may not be the feasible solution.

I have checked OSS Note 0000205454 also.

Correct me if I mentioned anything wrong..

Thanks in Advance.

Dear All,

Thanks for your inputs.

I have checked with my FI team. They have suggested both the options

1. posting a subsequent credit memo by mentioning G/l account and Cost center in gl accopunt tab.

2. Posting a credit note doc in fb60.

But they suggested to go with Option 1 which will have PO reference.

Once again thanks for your inputs

Hi, You could ask vendor to deduct the part of value from invoicing value to be charged for service. The standard procedure would be subsequent adjustment + invoice with actual value As to the finished material, because only 8 components but not 10 are consumed, shouldn't it be reflected in accounting? Best regards, Polly

Of course you can create a sales order and a fake delivery and use then the SD billing to debit your vendor. But even when sales people really like to make any dollar it usually disturbs all processes since the raw material will appear in their sales planning for the next year in all kind of statistics etc etc.

Why not just creating a debit note via the finance module and netting it with the payment that you have to do for the material you got?

Hi Jurgen,

Could you please elaborate the process of Debit note which will help me to find right solution.

I think you can find this easily in help.sap.com and by asking your Finance team colleague.

Hi,

Sub-contractor damaged 2 quantity, so better return the 2 quantity with MB1B with 542 and then scrap it.

Discuss with FI/CO team and go for CREDIT MEMO in t.code FB60 for Sub-contractor against charge of 2 quantity

Dear All,

Thanks for your inputs.

I have checked with our sales team and they are not ready to go with that.

I am planning to scrap the goods with 551 O at sub contractor and post this value to some cost center G/L account

I am trying to create a Subsequent Credit memo by posting a value in cost center & G/L Account which will nullify cost center G/l account amount.

Hi Mahesh

Its seems creating a sales order to get this money from the vendor will be good idea if you do not want to have any impact on your material valuations. Using Debit or credit memo in LIV will impact the valuation price.
