Hi

You can use subcontracting procedure.

It requires to creat a BOM for subcontracting.

IN the BOM header will be semifinished material whereas the component will be raw material.

You can coordinate with MM collegue .It is possible.

Hope it will definitely solve your problem

Hi vishal

This is not a big procedure.

Maintain material master for HALB & provide speciaal procurement key in MRP 2 view.

Maintain ROH normally.

Maintain BOM for HALB with a component of ROH .THis BOM should be with usage universal not for production.

Then MM collegue will take care of remaining activities.

Pl. do not forget to award.

Hi Vishal,

To chnage the Material type use transaction MMAM.

Before that you have to ensure the following

1. There should be no stocks for the material

2.There should be no open receipts(Purchasse requisitions,Purchase Order,Production order etc.

3.You have to delete all the above receipt elemets, then only you will be able to change the material type.

And also do the following steps for Subcontracting

1.Create BOM for HALB and mark Special Procurement key as 30 in MRP2 view of HALB material master.

2.Create Purchase Info Record for HALB material and vendor with by selecting the Subcontracting in the initial screen.

3. When the Requiremenr created for HALB it will trigger the PR for the Vendor as per the Purchase Info Record. Conver the PR to PO.

4.Issue the components to the Vendor using transaction ME2O and movement type 541

5.Make GR for HALB againt the Purchas eorder by movement type 101.

Hi,

Use tcode MMAM to change the material type.

But the material stock should be NIL.

And both unit of measure must be same.
