Subcontracting from QI

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can you please let me know if we can do a transfer posting (MB1B) directly from QI stock to subcontractor? If so, please let me know the movement type to use. My client doesn't want to use 541.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can not send the material to your sub-contractor directly from QI stock. The system will give error in this case as 'You must clear QI stock from QM'. Hence you will have to take material to unrestricted use & then send the material to subcontractor. If you don't want to use movement type 541, then you can use movement type 311 (Storage location transfer). Create Vendor storage location in your plant & then transfer the material to the vendor storage location from existing storage location. Do not forget to enter vendor number while doing transfer posting. The only thing here is that you can not transfer material to the sub-contractor by refering to the PO. While doing MIGO, change the storage location of components (sent to sub-contractor) to the vendor storage location (system takes own storage location as default).
