Subcontracting Process

[Former Member]

Hello SAP,

I have a issue at the time of subcontracting process..

1. I have created a P.O with an Item category L to a vendor X. for processing semifinished material. For this I exploded BOM

2. Now i have to provide the material i.e. raw material to the vendor X for processing semi finished product. By using T code MB1B, MVT 541, with respect to P.O. At this time system giving error message: ENTER A VENDOR FOR SPECIAL STOCK O.

Please suggest where to make the backend settings for the above error message.

Regards,

Karan

Hi John,

Once you created the Subcontracting PO.Run MB1B ( give Movt. type, plant & Storage location ) and then press the To Purchase order , then input the Subcon Po number and enter.

system will copy all the details from the PO & then post the document.

or

T code ME2O to issue the material to Vendor.

Note: Before runing this T-Code , you ensure that material to be sent to vendor for value addition need to have stock in your storage location.

Just cross check & proceed,

Cheers...........

Hello John,

Pls use T-Code ME2O - SC Stock Monitoring for Vendor....

Here you can monitor, how much Qty is lying with the Vendor for the particular material and shortage material Qty can be issued to the Vendor tro "Post Good Issue" in the same screen....

Thanks

HI,

We also faced the same tyep of issue, we suggest you to go for the alternate method.Use the T code ME2O, give the vendor(SUB CONTRACT VENDOR) and plant then execute.

Here you get the details of sub contractor stock where the stock will be in negative. Select the check box which should be posted and click on the tab post goods issue. Nw your stock will be posted. Here u willl be getting the material document also.

Hi,

Once you created the Subcontracting PO.

then in MB1B you just press the Purchase order then input the Subcon Po number, system will copy all the details from the PO & then post the document.

No need to enter the Vendor no again in the MB1B if you are refereing the PO number.

Just cross check & proceed,
