Subcontract goods receipt without components withdrawal.

[Former Member]

Hi,

we're noticing many occurrences of this problem since we've upgrade to ECC 6.0.

Too often we encounter GR of subcontracting PO's that doesn't consumed all components existing at the "Components Overview".

Besides the common reasons for this (untic the item or setting the quantity to zero), do you know any other?

Best Regards,

Hi Andre.

Where you are looking that the components has not been consumed? Have you checked if you have done the subcontracting adjustments already? We usually get problems when they change the BOM or a component get invalid (phaseout).

I didn't heard anything about problems on subcontracting related to the upgrade. But any way I will check with some folks.

Regards.

I'm looking at the material document.

What do you mean by subcontracting adjustments?

I'll check the ECMs, maybe that's the problem.

Obrigado.

Cumprimentos,

So, when you are entering the goods receipt at MIGO you see that some components are missing? Interesting, since once you have define the components on PO when you do MIGO the system gets the list of components according the PO. Check changes on PO also. By the way are you using schedule agreement or purchase orders?

no no no... I check the material document after GR post.

Every time I test, all components appear at MIGO. But, somehow, when it's the people from the warehouse, something happens that I can't figure out.

We do periodic inventories to the subcontractors, and after that we check the SAP stock against what's reported. When I get a big difference, I start checking the GR for all PO's and I find some lacks of components withdrawal.

I can't tell you if at MIGO there are all components or not, because I'm not there to see.

They say, they never reset a quantity nor untic an item.

We use Purchase Orders.

Are you receiving the components through MIGO? In this case you are receiving an invoice (nota fiscal) with the subcontracted material and the components. Right?

Once you have clicked on "tree diplay" to see the components if you change the subcontracted material quantity the quantity of components will not be changed automatically and vice versa.

Right.

Yes, I know that. But that would explain errors at quantities, not at components.

The last example I've got is: a material with 4 components, 3 of them were sucessfully withdrawn with the right quantities, but the last one don't even appear at the material document. Moreover, the PO already had 2 GR that withdrawn everything fine.

Perhaps the user has uncheck the flag Item OK for the component. Belive me... the users usually do more simple mistakes that we can imagine. And they do not tell us the true!

You didn't answer my question... have you been receive the components and the subcontracted in the same nota fiscal?

Does the users always open the component list during the goods receipt? They must do that to check if the component list contain the right parts and quantities.

Sorry for the late reply.

yes, they check the components against the invoice, and they have to open the components list.

I think, since they post the GR for many POs at the same time, sometimes when there's not enough stock at the subcontractor they "adjust" the quantities....
