Sub-Contracting Query - Any Ideas?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Anybody got any ideas on this?

PlantA sends semi-finished goods goods (material1) to a sub-contractor who sends the finished goods (material2) to plantB. Plant A and B are same company.

Current design is-

material1in plantA sent to plantB

plantB uses SPK = 30 and sends material1 to SC receiving back materialB

How can we have-

send material1 directly to SC from plantA

receipt material2 into plantB

Thanks.

Yes,

I didn't mention about 3rd party, as in Single PO Thirdparty & Sub contract not possible & It required config change & more complications as the material to be required sales views , BANS type etc.,

but 3rd Party also one of thr option, if your business scenario suit.

Hi Jacob,

I think one option is what was suggested by Rahim:

PO created by plantB for subcon-copmponent. Supplier is plantA, and on the delivery address of the PO item it is possibel to set SC-vendor > subcon-component will be booked to special stock of your subcontractor

Other: I do not know how to solve this issue between two plants but generally you can use third-party scenario for such kind of process.

Hi,

The PO raised by Plant A. to Subcontractor with Delivery Address as Plant B.

Is it suitable to your requirement.?

Well issue is that when you sub-contract (ME2O), you issue the goods to the vendor out of your finished goods stock. PO is then created with those sobcontracted items. But in ME20 the goods come from plant A due to the PO being assigned to plant A, necessary for sub-contracting process. Once you GR, ME20 stock balances out. Question is how to still sub-contract out of plant A, but deliver to B.
