Dear Guys,

In the middle of the routing one of the opeartion need to be subcontracted,i tried to create a master routing & in the 3rd line item i enetred the control key pp02 & as sson as i pressed enter it is taking me to operation-check screen & asking to maintain external processing data,is this mandatory can it be avoided?If i need to maintain then its a redundancy of work i believe bcos

Just Consider material A is going to be subcontracted for which in material master i would have maintained the pruchasing details etc already

Now here i have to enter the details again?bcos as soon as try to proceed further it directly ask for these details,pls do advice

Hi guys,

I have tried this scenario. I would like to ask that how would you know that the material is received. And also like to know that after MIGO of the Purchase Order for operation, the quantity received of the material which has been sent for external operation is not shown physically in the system with any of the stock type.

Regards,

Sachin

Sachin,

In operation subcontracting the PR/PO is not created for the material, it is just with referance to the text and Materail group. Once GR is done for the PO it updates the status of the operation to "EODL" - External operation delivered or "EOPD" - External operation partially delivered.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

If in the op control key if you define that an op is ext processed you can schdule the op using the indicator schedule ext op indicator.

If this indicator is set,

the system schedules the op using the standard values maintained in the routing of the op

if not set,

the system schedules the op using the delivery days maintained in the ext processing screen.

That is why system is directing you to maintain the ext processing screen.

Reward points if useful

Vijai,

Yes if the control key is relevant for external processing then you need to maintain purchasing details in the operation details. Just to insist this is just operation subcontract, we need not have purchasing view maintained for the material as the PR which is getting created for the external operation is not going to have any material referance.

If the material is subcontract then you need not have a routing, you need to maintain procurment type "F" with Special procurment key "30" and for this purchasing view is required.

Hope this helps your understanding...reward your points if so,

In OPL8 if you disable the indicator OP detail check then the system wont ask

Nanda,

That has relevance only interms of checking the data during transfer(Copy) of data from Routing to Order. If external operation is maintained it is mandatory for us to maintain the purchasing details.

Hi,

Initially i was thinking that he wants not to check the op details. So for that only i suggested to remove the ind Op details check indicator.
