Subcontracting Process

[Former Member]

We're trying to implement a process where we repack products for a third party (subcontracting). The materials we get from the customer are non-valuated and in the special stock (special stock indicator E). This make-to-order process is quite clear for me but I'm still not sure if we need the accounting and costing views in the material master.

Do you have any experience with that?

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Please highlight on How do you Invoice the Customer for this Transaction? Do you only charge a service towards the packaging as I understand the packaing is provided by your Customer?

Please give some more details so that we can give you the optimum solution.

As a general rule, you Do Not maintain Accounting and Controlling view for the UNBW (Non Valuanted Materials) in simple words, Only the Quantity is Tracked, The Value is neither tracked nor updated in the system.

Yet, if you want to capture certain cost and revenue, that depends on the Client nature of Business and some work around is done to capture those situations.

Hi Amit,

thank you very much for your answer.

We only charge the service costs for repacking the material.

We create a sales order and collect the actual costs on a sales order item number Link: [product cost by sales order |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/90/ba6c38446711d189420000e829fbbd/content.htm] . Than we use movement type 501 for the goods receipt. After the repacking is done we bill the costs to the customer.

Hope this makes the whole process more clear ..

BR,

Mike
