Hi Avid,

I think we cannot provide special stock directly to sub-contractor. We should take that in to our own stock and then we can transfer it.

Hi,

In standard subcontract process, you can issue material only from unrestricted stock.

There is also MRO subcontract procesin plant maintenance, i hope here it is possible.

You can refer the following link for further details.

hi,

Highlights:

create PO, with item catagory subcontrcting....and explode BOM (Which would be maintained at CS01/02/03) if not maintain maintained, then enter the components directly from the PO item details and save the PO...

Then do transfer postings for 541 mvt type...

By this you will send the material to the subcontractor( it could be send to Unrestrcted or quality stock only but not the blocked stock)....

At last Do GR by 101 mvt type for the materials which you receive...

If there is more or less material comsumption then use stock adjustments....

Madam,

For Material in Special Stock, is not visible in ME2O, due to which I am not able send the material to the sub contractor .

Hi,

For Special stock you have to use the special stock indicator along with the mvt type ie. 541+O..

Then check at ME2O....

Madam,

I tried as you had suggested , but still I am not able to view the PO in Me2O.

I would like to again repeat the scenario to get a clear understanding .

I have a PR generated for an SFG, through MRP run for a particular project.

Now using this PR , I make a PO , this PO has Acct assgnmt caetgory as 'P'& item category as 'L' ,

Now I go to ME2O , for issuing the material to Sub Con., but in this session I am not finding the required material entry to issue the material.

Now in such scenario, can you please tell me the procedure for sending the material to sub con.

Do we have a combination of 541/O available?

Hi Avid,

Materials assigned to sales order or project (that are located in sales order or in project special stock segment) are not "transported" in SAP to the subcontractor.

Please check SAP online help:

Subcontracting is also possible in conjunction with sales order stocks and project stocks. The subcontracting orders are account-assigned to a sales order or a WBS element. Thus, the components are not transferred (using a transfer posting) to the "stock of material provided to vendor" but are directly withdrawn from the sales order stock or the project stock at the time of the goods receipt. The material manufactured is also posted to the sales order stock or to the project stock. The cost of subcontracting is then debited to the sales order or WBS element.

Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks.
