Hi

Normal subcontract the consumption of components happenes by 543-o movement type. When you give account assignment Q in PO the consumption happenes via 543 Q. Which is not a vendor stock, it is a project stock. So system will not allow you to send components to vendor via 541. This is normall scenario in Make to order scenario.

What you need to do is, Go to material masters of compnenets and MRP-4 view give "individual.coll" field as 2 that is collective requirement only. Then system will consume stock from 543-o. So it will allow to issue material using 541 for subcontracting PO.

hi,

there are two scenarios in this,

if you create subcontracting PO with account assignment Q then you can send the components to vendor using ME2O if in the material code of component in MRP 4 view, you have marked it as collective requirement ( no other option).

the other way is you dont send components to vendor but you have to have project stock of the component and in the mat code of component it is not marked as collective requirement in MRP4, now when you do the GR the system automatically consumes the components from the project stock.
