Return from Vendor in Refurbishment Process

[Former Member]

Hi

Need help in understanding the below Steps Refurbishment Scenario u2013

We want to send the defective Material to a external Vendor for Repair, we can Issue the Material under valuation class u201CDEFECTu201D Thro MB1B Mvt Type 541 . However while taking back thro Mvt type 542 it is not possible to take it in valuation class u201CREFURu201D .

Kindly guide how to map the process.

You can't use 541 or 542 movement types.

Hi

Thanks for providing the links for subcontracting process .

I have two Queries pls guide -

1) Is standard SAP PM Refurbishment Process is not supporting the process of external repair of spares ( Which is a common industry practise ) . Due to this we need to have two processes for repair one for internal repair Refurbishment Process & another for external repair Subcontracting Process.

2) As this "Subcontracting indicator " in PM Order Process is available for ECC6 - EHP4 --- we are not in that so how we can map the process of external repair in SAP PM .

1. Create a Refurbishment order with External (PM02) control key

2. Do the operation externally & do the GI normally as you for Internal process.

3. While making GI, try to accommodate the vendor name where it has been sent, so that you can refer the component location in future.
