Material that will be received in parts

[alishehpar]

Hi experts ,

Our client is having a process of receiving some special material (say for eg. of cost Rs.1 crore) which the vendor delivers in parts of the whole unit,the procedure that we are providing is that user creates a PR(with value of the part received(Rs. 25 lacks and against that PR user creates a PO(of Rs. 1 crore) and when its successor parts are received user enter a new line item in previously created PR (cost of 2nd part is Rs. 75 lacks)and enters new code(provided from mm consultant) for the part and enter its value (Rs. 75 lacks) and the PR is updated .

now my question is can we continue this process or there are standard process in SAP for the material which is received in parts.

Please guide

Thanks

Hello Ali,

There is standard process already designed to complete your requirement is called Assets Under Construction, if this is machine and your procuring it from parts and later you need to convert all the parts into one machine, then you should go through this standard process.

Hi,

The process you chose depends on the type of material & its UOM. If the material is say a machine, then splitting it with various parts and identifying each as a different material would be meaningful. If the material is same but you created 2 different material code in PR, then it is a duplicate code of same material in material master.

regards,

Bala

Thanks ,

So by providing the user different item codes accordingly of the material received in parts will work perfectly ,this process should continue ?

I will be thankful if there is any Standard procedure in SAP for the material whose PR is generated initially as a complete and its parts are received and entered in that PR only with different item codes .

Also the PO will show the date on which it is created in continuation of the PR but PR will gets updated every time a new line item is added . this will create error and date related issues will occur.

Please make me clear.
