External Processing

Dear All,

I am trying a scenario of External Processing wherein i want to send the material for repairs.

I am trying it using subcontracting scenario, I have assigned PM02 control key and due to which a PR is created. But the Item category in PR is coming as Standard and not 'L' (Subcontracting).

Due to this when i convert PR to PO system shows an error message that "Document type(NB) of PR is different than the document type you want to create (i e PO)".

Could you please tell me what settings i am missing, Or is there any other process wherein i can send the material outside and bring back after repairs.

Your help is kindly appreciated, Points assured.

Regards,

Rashmi
