Vendor as ship-to-party?

[Former Member]

Could someone please advice: We need to deliver materials to subcontractors also without reference to subcontracting order. As I understand I must have ship-to-party for the subcontractor to create a delivery, but how do I create this and assign it to the subcontractor vendor? If I create outbound delivery to subcontractor without reference to order, will I then make goods receipt against that delivery to get the material in subcontractor stock?

Big thanks!

Your business, it addressing to the standard Sub-Contracting process. Why you dont want to adopt that process, without looking for some unfeasible work around solution?

By the way:-

You cant use the same delivery number(w/o ref Order) to issue / receipt the goods.

Hey, thanks for comment. Actually I could refine my question to ask, how do I deliver materials to subcontractor stock without referencing a subcontracting order. I figured out now how to maintain ship-to-party and create delivery, but material won't end up in vendor stock.

We must deliver materials to vendor stock without purchase order, or actual material requirements. This for two reasons

- to deliver components to vendor to be used in future work (even though at the moment we dont have requirement)

- to transfer in SAP end product to vendor stock, which is already physically there (we use external processing of operation)

So, how to create delivery and receive material in vendor stock "from scratch"?

Thanks!

Option-1: Create Dummy Purchase Order ( I understand that you are looking for solution without PO). If possible.

Optioin-2: Try if you can make use of Transfer postings Tx:MB1B ( mov type: 541). As you know, without creating PO, you can inward the goods. but only thing is, you will not have track.

Issuing goods to Vendor & receiving the goods from Vendor after processing. Both are entirely different activities. without using Subcontracting - I dont think, you will have track of Inward / Outward movement of goods.

Thanks! I managed to transfer material to subcontractor. Problem solved, or at least this part of the process
