Subcontracting

[Former Member]

This is a typical scenerio in which I am facing a problem. We have plants P001 and plant P002 and subcon vendor V001. Now I am sending material M001 to vendor V001 against subcon order. After processing, vendor is sending material M002 to plant P002.

How to configure this scenerio in SAP.

Thanks in advance...

Hi Sameer,

From which plant u r sending ur material M001? If you are sending from P001 then i will suggest the following process instead.

If you are not having stock of material M001, in plant P002, then do a transfer posting of material from plant P001 to P002. This will update the stock of material M001 in plant P002.

Then create the subcontracting PO on the vendor V001, mentioning the plant as P002.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Vishwanath,

Thanks for immediate reply.

Whatever you have said is very correct. I have suggested the same thing and also we are following it. I wanted to know is it possible to create a STO in which supplying plant is P001, receiving plant P002, but delivery at vendor V001 (SC Vendor). This will be similar to std PO with delivery at SC vendor.

Is it really possible with STO??

Please revert back.

It is possible to create a Sub-contract PO in which supplying plant is P001 for the component, and the receiving plant P002 for the assembly.

Dear Mr. Nitin,

Please let me know the step 1.

Is it a std PO or STO or maintained document type? In std PO, I can see the SC Vendor check box but not supplying plant. In STO, I can enter supplying plant, but not SC Vendor.

SO please check and revert back urgently.

Dear Nitin

Thanks for the solution. I hope problem is solved now. I have created subcon PO for vendor V001 delivery at plant P002 of assembly M002. The components specified are M001 from plant P001.

Thanks again
