Hi,

Suppose i want to give an engine to dismentle from the subcontractor and receive its parts such as piston,crank shaft,connecting rod etc. Is it possible to map this in SAP? How to do it?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have not tried to do this and it would be quite tricky.

It probably involves using negative values on the components list.

But the biggest problem is that there is only one material quoted on the PO, the rest are specified as components, so when you post the GR what would you be receiving? You can't put the material for the engine because the system would assume that you have received this back and in your case this is not true.

Perhaps you need to be able to create a material called "stripped down engine" with a very low value and use this on the PO then specify the crankshaft, pistons etc. as components (with negative stock quantities?). Or perhaps you can use the material for the cylinder block and just list the other components) that way you are receiving the block back plus the components? I am not sure that this would work but it is worth trying it.

But you might also consider not using the subcontract process and simply raising a PO for the disassembly charges and then write-off the engine and write-on the components. It seems a bit messy but whatever you do will be a bit messy.

I hope this has at least given you some "food for thought"?

Hi,

There is One Scenario called Internal Sub Contracting (It is there in SAP Help Best Practices).In that we rise a SO with Finished Item then requirements are generated for components those components we will receive make Assembly and then deliver the FG.

You just try to modify that scenario.

Thanks
