Hi gurus,
I have to implement a cross company subcontracting scenario:
company A (plant A) is the owner of raw materials that are sent to company B (plant B). Company B is a subcontractor: it produces semifinished products (different part number) that return to company A.
I can't solve these problems: how can company A know how many raw material were sent to company B? If I have a subcontracting stock in company A, this material is not in company B: so company B can't know anything but searching it in company A....Do I have to manage the same quantity in company A and also in company B?
Do You have implemented a scenario like mine? Have You any hint to suggest me?
Hi,
You can check the stock provided to sub-contracter by MBLB.
Yes, you have to maintain the material in both companies/plants.

Hi,
Maintain Company B as a vendor and raise a Subcontr PO from Company A.
@ vendor slot give the number of Company B.
All other process is same.
Track stocks with subcontractor using MBLB, ME2O or MMBE
Thanks,

If both plants are using the same SAP system and you are using stock transfers to exchange materials, then you just cannot setup a purchasing subcontract process. you will receive error message Subcontracting as stock transfer within a company code not possible
if your two plants are on SAP, then just think about the PP operations and the SD activities that need to be performed from the plant that does subcontracting.
Do you still think the a subcontract purchase order will meet the requirements ?
So you just order the product that is produced as a STO from plant B. And plant B raises a STO to get the components from plant A.
And you can monitor the stock as usual in MMBE
Hi,
From my point of view, you have to mange the raw material stock in each plant.
so , in company A (the owner of the raw material) material will be manged as valuated stock
when material will be sent to company B, it will be managed as non-valuated material
So to perform this scenario I think there are two option:
1- the material number will be different for each plant, but we keep the same MPN to keep relationship. So that for each material number will be assigned to different material type.
2- We can use split valuation in the plant B, and we keep the same material number in both plants
hope that help

hi
to see the stock at subcontractors loaction you can use the report MB5L or ME2O. in your scenario it will be company A looking at it. for company A it will be the raw materials sent to company B and PO nos.
in case of Company B it will have sales order stock and you can get it using the standard reports.
