Why not deduct low-level material when GR to subcontracting PO?

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I can't find the reason why there is no deduction of low-level material when GR to subcontracting PO. Does anyone throw a light on it for me? Thanks.

Best regards,

David

Hi David,

Please clarify your situation:

1. PO item is created with item category "L"

2. Components can be seen in ME22N > Material tab (at item level) > "Components" icon

3. In MIGO you can see the components to be consumed by exploding them (there's an icon in the second column of the F-30 item)

4. All components are marked as relevant for goods movement when you post the GR (GOITEM-TAKE_IT)

5 You have suffiecient stock at your vendor from the relevant components.

...still no 543 mvt can be seen??? (Please check the material document of GR in MB03)

Hello,

MVT 543 can't be seen. Others are correct. I had considered it as an occasional issue. Thanks.

check your material type . It may be assigned for no qty updation. so no qty change happens.

Hi David ,

What do you mean deduction of low-level material ?

In subcontracting the components specified in the Components Overview will be consumed inorder to mfg the finished product .

This implies that there is a reduction in Stock of Components when the Final Prd is mfg.

Low-level material = component

deduct = consume

hi,

When you do GI to the subcontractor, at that the components will go to subcontractor and will get reduce from your unrestricted use stock...check ME2O for it...

Now after this when you get the GR for the finished material, you see whether is there any over or under consumption of componenets...if there is any such, then you make the subsequent adjustments...

Hi David ,

Just check whether BOM is maintained for the finished product ?

Hello,

BOM is OK.

If the subcontractor's stock is not enough, GR will not be saved.

One thing I found is the conponent to be consumed is not a puchased material. It is produced. Is it a problem? I don't think so.

Any other point?

Hi David ,

It doesn't matter whether the material( Component) is produced or procured.

You need to issue the components to the subcontractor through MB1B - 541 Mvt Type .

Please note that the same will be visible in your stock overview at Plant Level .

If the subcontractor's stock is not enough, GR will not be saved. - You were right .

In that case you need to re-issue the same once again.
