SAP Service Masters

32 Views

All,

I have a two questions related to the use of Service Masters :

1. How can they best be used in production planning ? EG. If I am making an item and one step is to send the item out for a coating process which is always the same for that Item. How can I use Service Master to treat that coating process as if it were a material and auto-populate texts, attach standard specifications/procedures, set the price. My goal is to be able to aggregate, forecast and plan the coating processes so that I can give the external vendor better datail on exactly what I will need and when I will need it based on my production plan.

2. Is it possible to use any sort of Source Determination for Services ?. I want to to be able to use functionality such as Source Lists to automate or streamline the assignment of specific services to specific vendors.

Thanks in advance !
