Consumption of subcon component provided by external vendor at GR

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our client req in subcontracting is - for a finish product, there are two components.Company provide one component to vendor while other component is proveded by an external vendor to subcontractor. Once finish product is ready, GR should be posted and this should consume both components.

I am trying to replicate the above scenarion in SAP. But facing issue.

first I crrated suncontracting PO for finish product in which I mentioned the component 1 only that company will provide. with 541 I issued this component 1 to subcontractor.

I created regular PO with other component 2 to an external vendor with delivery address as subcon vendor. with 101-O, this component 2 is also moved to subcon stock.

Now when I post GR wrt suncontracting PO, it only consumes component 1 with 543, but doesn't consume component 2. This is the issue.

My requirement is that both the components should get consumed.

I also tried maintaining BOM with both components and for component 2, I selected the field Material Provision Indicator (item details-status view) as L - Material provided by vendor. Then followBut still it is not consuming this component as the time of GR wrt suncontracting PO.

Hi,

For a subcontracting PO , whatever components are mentioned in the PO gets consumed. In your case , add the component 2 in your subcontracting PO.This will solve your issue.

Hi Pat,

In the given situation please please maintain the PO first line item with the Sub-contracting component as only th ematerial provided by the Company .and in the second line item maintain the other component provided by the vendor with the account assignment category.

so that when you are doing the GR at that time your material will be recieved without increasing the inventory of the store.

Hope it helps you.

Hi,

From your point both components are normal. The fact that you ask vendor of C2 to bring it directly to SUNCON chnages nothing in the subcontracting process.

Your concern should be with the procurement process of C2; first mention in the PO that delivery should be at SUBCON. Then, when it is delivered, SUBCON should inform you, and you do GR, and then move it to SUBCON stock.

After, subcontracting process is normal.
