Operation subcontracting with separate Purchase Order

[former_member184737]

Hi All,

         I want to do an operational subcontracting with separate PO not Info record PR based. Separate Subcontract PO created for subcontract operation with dummy material. I also changed the the value of Purchase req. creation Indicator from "Immediately" to "Never". So System does't ask any Purchase info. rec. at all. that's fine. But I want to link the PO which was created with dummy material into Production Order. Then only the operation status will be changed from "REL" to "EODL". How can we do this process?

* Is it possible to assign "PP02" control key to more than one operation and will work with above mentioned scenario?

or

At least for one operation with above scenario

Thanks.

I don't see the whole point in what you're trying to do. Well I would suggest you to add that dummy material to the BOM of your final material and assign it to the operation you want and then when PR is generated for the "dummy material" create it as subcontracting order with item category L.

Hi Jeevan,

           Thanks for your reply. Let me say my requirement in detailed manner.We have an FERT "A" with 4 operations as (10,20,30,40). In these operation "20" as an external operation. We don't have any separate part no in between operation. So we created a dummy material for finished operation(10) material. we created separate sub contract PO with this dummy material to the specific vendor. So we don't wants to follow purchase info. record functionality and also system won't wants to generate Purchase requisition for an external operation. I already changed the settings to block an immediate creation of purchasing requisition. My concern is i want to link the purchase order against this production order. When i do GRN against the sub contract PO, operation(20) status will be changed from "REL" to "EODL" in production order. How can we do this process. How can we assign the sub contract PO with Production order?

Thanks

The regular process is you mark the operation 20 as external allocate some components you'd issue to subcontrator and assign a material group info-record to the operation it will create a PR for service (the service is done to the finished product) and you convert the PR to PO. And do the goods movement through ME2O.

Hello SKA,

You can simply maintain control key-PP02 and also all the required Subcontracting Details in routing.

Do not mention Pur Info Record number... enter Vendor, Sort Term, Material Group, Purchasing group, Price & etc. and save.

Now when you release a production order for header material, system will automatically generate a Pur Req with the requried details like Acc Assignment Cat-F & Item Cat-L. Now you can also mention, dummy material or short description and process PR to PO and further subcon process.

Hope this will help.
