Dear experts,

I am doing subcontracting POs por the vendor, I mean, I am doing a purchase orden with a line item of subcontracting with diferent components that I will send to the vendor.

After that I make the Outbound deliv. and good issue for the components.

the question is, who can I relate the Outbound deliv. with the purchase order? when i go to the purchase order I dont know if someone already sent the components to the vendor.

I would like othe way of doing this process, or any transacciones to relate the PO with de Outbound deliv.

Thank you very much for your help

Best regards,

Hi,

Purchase order history is not updated when you issue material to subcontractor.

Run report ME2O for details against subcon PO.

Hi........

before creating a new P.O please check in tcode mmbe stock at vendor

or check in mb51 material document if the document available with 541 mov means the stock given to vendor

then if not

create P.O with item cat "L"

then create outbound delv

issue the material mb1a with 541 movment

with reference with P.O no. then save

create subcontracting challan

then gr with referance with subcontracting challan

and then IR

Done

Hi,

Please note that in SAP standard, even though you issue the subcon components to the vendor using 541 mov.type with reference to the PO document in MB1B, the PO History wont be updated.

Hence as an alternative, you can check with user - exits to create a link between PO & the components issue.

Or you can use the standard SAP reports such as MBLB or ME2O where this information will be available.

You can also see reports such as MMBE or MB52 where the component stock will be displayed as stock with vendor (Special Stock - O) once component issue is completed.

Thanks & Regards,

If they did transfer through MB1B without referencing the PO I don't think you can link it, if you have multiple POs lying around for a particular vendor which use similar components.

even when you reference the PO in MB1B the PO number is not stored in the movement and certainly not to the stock at subcontractor. In other words there is no link anywhere.

if you want do that, then you have to create a Z-table to store such link yourself, updated from user exits.

Hi,

As you created subcontract purchase order for finished goods with different components and now you can send all different components to subcontracting vendor by two means

Option-1: issue components in t.code:ME2O directly

Option-2: issue components with t.code:MB1B with 541 Movement type

After sending you can check stock at vendor in MBLB t.code / can be used t.code: ME2O for subcontracting vendor stock monitoring

Finally you can do MIGO and then go for MIRO.

But is there any way to link the document created in MB1B with the PO document number?

I mean, if I know de PO number, who can I know if the components has been sent? I have to go to other transaction and see for this vendor and this compnent if the material has been sent, but I dont see any trace from the PO to the issue document.

thanks

Hi

And you can maintain PO number in header text to trace and easily identify...

hope it helps you.
