Hello All,

Could someone please explain the significance of the field pecial procurement type in the material master?

We are working on a subcontracting scenario wherein the parent matrl is sometimes manufactured inhouse and sometimes sent to a subcontractor. I maintained the procurement type as X for this reason. Now should I maintain the special procurement type as 30 (Subcontracting)?

What exactly is the functionality of this field?What purpose does it serve? I have read the F1 help but have not understood it properly.Would really appreciate if someone could explain with a live example.

Regards,

V S

Procurement in Material master either you maintain E but not E 30 if it is internally produced.

F 30 but not F if it is Subcontracting material.

X but not X 30 if the material is procured internally and Externally.

Incorrect Procurement type will cause problems during Costing run...

Hi,

Through Procurement type you define whether the procurement will be in-house production or extranal or both.

Sometimes this information isn't enough to describe the process, generally in the following cases :

Special Procurement for In-House Production

+ For a phantom assembly+

+ Production in alternative plant+

+ Withdrawal from an alternative plant+

Direct production

Special Procurement for External Procurement

+ Consignment+

+ Subcontracting+

+ Stock transfer+

+ Direct Procurement+

for the above cases, to carry out this information into system we use the "special procurement type field"

the most commun situation are: phantom assembly : we use in general indicator 50

Subcontracting : we use in general indicator 30
