Hi Amit,

It is possible to treat same material in both ways sub contract and Direct procurement. Do the following settings:

1)Select the purchasing view to that material

2)Select Procurement type as X both types

From MD04 screen when you try to convert the planned order to PR, enter the item category as 'L' for sub contracting. If you want raw materials to be issued to vendor for sub contracting then you need to maintain BOM for that semi-finished material ..if not ..not required.

For direct procurement no need to maintain any item category..directly from planned order convert to PR.

Try and come back

Hi

Define two PR types for subcontracting and normal procurement or use standard available but for subcontracting choose the item category as L on the MD14 screen .

Amit,

You can convert Planned Order to Purchase Order & after that you can choose option while creating PO, you want Standard PO(Normal PO) ot Subcontracting (Item Category L). This option you will get in ME21N while creating PO.

I think this will work for you.

Thanks,

HI,

Yes, your requirement is possible. While converting your PR to PO select appropirate document type either subcontracting PO or Regular PO.

hi,

it means if i select different document type i.e of subcontracting then only it will explode the bom and if i select normal po then it will not explode the bom.

Hi,

If you want convert the planned order into Regular P.O you need to use the Document Type "NB" and If you want to convert it into Subcontract P.O then you need to use the revelant doc type with Item category "L".

System will not explode the BOM unless you mention Version in PIR (Vendor Info record ). Goto ME12 and mention the Version in it then system will explode the BOM.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

BOM explosion in PO depends on the item category. Default settings with item category L should be maintained for the subcontracting document type. Please check or else you can manually maintain the same for subcontracting.

Hi

It depends on the Item Category(L) if you enter the item category L then the BOM will be exploded, if you enter the item category Blank then its Direct procurement.

You can maintain the Procurement key u2013 X and convert manually and enter the item category if you want to subcontract and if not leave the item category blank.

Please check it outu2026

hi,

i am using special procurement key 30 due to which it will directly convert to pr then to po so if i want to procure directly then as pe rur suggestion i have to remove item cat L BUT AT THAT TIME SYSTEM GIVE RED MESSAGE

Doc. type/item cat. NB/L (requisition) <-> NB/ (purch. order)

Message no. 06054

+*Purchase requisitions of documenttype NB or item category L may not be assigned to purchase orders of document type NB or item category .*+_

Procedure

Check your input.

If the problem cannot be resolved in this way, contact your system administrator.

The latter can make the necessary settings using the Implementation Guide (IMG)

Dear Amit,

Check in OMEC,for NB - Standard Purchase order -double click on allowed item categories in the left

and ensure L- sub-contracting is present,if not include and try.,

Hi,

Pl check in config settings

Spro-> Mm->Purchasing-> PO->Define doc types.

Against NB Std PR doc type check the Link PR doc type

check if NB/L ( PR) is assigned to L subcontracting.

Hi,

You have to 1st change the PR i.e. remove item category "L" from PR. Then convert this PR to PO it will allow.

Currently it is not allowing because PR is having Item category "L" & You are trying to remove it in PO. So due to mismatch it is not allowing.

Hope this will help.

Folks,

The client first needs to first decide on the material defination. If 80% of the time the material is going to be subcontracted, then following can be done,

Define in the material master with Special Procurement key "30"

1. MRP would create PR with Item Category "L"

2. Based on that you can process a PO with a suitable document type to differenciate.(This document type of PO should be defined to allow Item cateogry "L"). Also the PR to PO document type mapping also needs to be done.

If in this scenario , if the user needs standard purchase, then

1. User need to create a manual PR

2. Based on this manual PR --->PO needs to be created with a document type which is defined for Standard purchases.

The above can be vice versa if 80% standard purchases.

This is my thought,

hi,

it means that planned order to pr process should be manually ,it means i cannot use any strategy in material master ,after removing the strategy it is possible,that either i can do conversion of pr to po eith or without item cat ,but if i use item cat L in po ,and there is no strategy in mat master,at that time bom will not be explode,i have to give components manually and its qty also.

thks.

hi,

it means it is not possible to treat single material in two ways .

[Former Member]

Hi,

You can change the item category in PO directly no need to add strategy in Material Master. If you will give Category 'L' then it should explore the BOM.

[Former Member]

Hi

Yes it is possible your issue.

For Sub Contracting

Go to Convert to purchase order tab and press it

after that at the Purchase Requisation data - order type --SUB-C

And at Item Catagory maintain _L

For Normal Procurment

Order Type _ ND

Item Catagory - leave Blank

Hope It solves
