External vendor as Work center with classification data as per std SAP

Former Member

Hi,

As per Std SAP we did the following activities.

Since external vendor is fixed for services, we created Frame work order with out item category and saved for vendor V1

And same vendor name created as work center and in Work center classification data maintained the Frame work order number.

With the help of same work center created a maintenance order and operations with work and duration.

Then confirmed the operations in IW41

But still the PO history does not get up dated ,and No control of value or quantity.

Then what is the necessity of maintaining the FO number in classification data of Work center?

As it is not integrating or picking the value from PO unit price to Work center activity price.

Please thro some light.

Rgards,

N.nagaraju,

Typically you have a vendor-spcific cost centre assigned to your work centre so all vendor costs are reported in this cost centre .

Then when the invoice arrives from the vendor there is a manual process to cross-check the invoice with the cost centre. If everythink is OK, then you can pay the invoice.

As far as I know, there is no automatic process between PM and MM.

Hi Pete,

Thnx for your reply, Then what is the necessity of maintaing PO in classification data?

As per your explanation we need to have cost center for vendor V1 and same as it is in case of internal manpower.

NNR,

I always wondered that too...

The only reason that I can think of is that its for information purposes only.

As I said earlier - I don't know of any automated process.. but that's not to say there isn't one.

I'd be very interested to know if there is an automated option, but I suspect there isn't.

Ideally you do need a seperate CC so you can perform your invoice validations.

Hi Pete,

I will create Work center W1 as my vendor and maintain a cost center K1,Activity type A1 with per man Hr price and assigned to cost center.

We will create a service PO with account assignment as K1 and Item Cat D with same activity price at service line item level.

Confirm maintenance operations with W1 actual man hours (work).- Maint Order debited and K1 credited

List all confirmation and generate service entry sheet based on above PO - K1 debited and GR/IR Credited.

Once Invoice MIROis done against service entry sheet - GR/IR debited and *vendor account * gets credited

By payment vendor account will get debited and bank account will get credited.

Once Maint order is settled in KO88 - *Prod CC K2 is debited and Maint order will get credited.

By doing this we could distribute the man power cost on different tech objects against man power PO. and more over all cantrols are in place.

Authorization cantrol can also be made based on Work center, Plant and transaction.

If you have any suggestions pls comment.ASAP.

NNR,

The process looks OK to me..

You need to make sure the MM and FICO teams are happy with the process.
