GR mov type for inwarding scrap of by product

[Former Member]

Dear all Guru,

we enter scrap / byproduct in BOM of semi finished subcontracting material.

so when we inward this material SAP select the mov type 545 and puts this stock to sp stock "O"

so if now i need to inward this material to our stock....ex : scrap material 5 kg lying at sp stock at vendor and need to make entry to my inventory so how do i do it,

Regards,

Hi,

As per my best knowledge there's no mvt by which you could get the scrap material (by-product) directly to plant stock.

So, you can move the goods by MB1B + 542 to the plant from the subcontractor.

542 is the cancellation of the material document and i think it's not the right method to inward the material...

this is important coz what ever material is accumulated at vendor place as by product or scap material we need to inward to companay accounts for every month.

No. mvt 542 is not the cancellation of material document. 542 is the reverse mvt of 541. You can send goods to subcontractor by mvt 541 and get the goods back by 542 (except FG by mvt 101 during goods receipt).

Material document cancellation is a different thing from MB1B + 542.

If you know any better please tell us.

Csaba

Hi,

You have to take the material from vendor manually using 542 in MB1B.

MB1B 542 Movement type is the correct way to Receipt the Subconstracting Scrap into Unrestricted Stock.

The Same way as you cancel the subcontractor stock issue thru mb1b 542.

When u make gr the Components gets consumed and the scrap remains with the subcontractor which u need to transfer using transfer posting mb1b 542.

The Same can be done using special transaction mb1c 531 inward subcontracting scrap into unrestricted stock .

Thank your suggestions ..they helped me a lot

But can u please let me know when we should we use 531 mov type....

coz when i am posting with this transaction it is increasing the stock w/o decreasing vendor's stock

Pl give me some example scenarios where we can user 531 mov type

You cannot use mvt 531 for subcontracting, it is for internal production orders.

[former_member192897 · Accepted solution]

MB1C 531 Goods receipt from by-product from the order. The goods receipt of a by-product usually refers to an order, but it can be entered without a reference.

If a component is entered with a negative quantity in the order, a reservation item is created with 531 (instead of 261). The receipt of a by-product can be entered when the component for the order is

withdrawn from stock or it can be entered as an 'other goods receipt'.

Possible special stock indicators: E, Q

Thx,

Now I got the clarity.

But one more Q

so as per BOM or wht ever it may be 500kg stock is got accumulated at vendor in Spl stock during varios 545 Mov type transaction.

and vendor reports that only 450 is available and else got theft for wht ever may be the reson that i am also accepting.

so in this case i will get this material 450 kg in to Un stk by 542 Mov type and

Pl tell me what is the proper method to account rest 50 kg...

Hi,

scrap accumulated at vendor [place using 545 adn 546(accumulationover/under)

542 to take it from vendor place to your plant(Manually you have to take it back from vendor)

(This is similar to reversal of the material issued)
