Subcontract purchase order.

Hi,

how can I create a subcontracting PO from a BOM?

If I enter each item of BOM in the PO manually it takes a lot of time

Yours sincerely

Hi

All you need to do is maintain BOM in CS01 for the material what you are going to order for sub-contracting.

In PO enter item category "L" & enter material ordering to subcontactor & qty system automatically reads the material from BOM & also converts qty requied for consumption, else just click on Explode BOM.

Hi,

In the case of making Purchasing Order, when we explode the BOM, the 1st BOM is taken. But in case alternate BOMs are maintained, how can we choose any other BOM....

Thanks

Hi,

Define the procurement type for the material to be ordered as F (External Procurement) & Special procurement as 30 (Sub-contracting) in MRP 2 view of material master at 'Procurement'. Also in routing, define the material for external processing, if the material is Semifinished type & is used in BOM of other material. Then attach a BOM to this material. When requirement is calculated by the system, a MRP generated PR is raised for this material with item category L (Sub-Conbtracting). When you create a PO from this PR, system automatically takes the BOM material in the BOM Component at Material tab at item level.

Enter the components that the vendor requires to manufacture the ordered material (end product). Then System determines components automatically if BOM is maintained for material.
