Generate External Service PR from Process order

[Former Member]

Hi,

i want to generate a PR for external service on an operation fro the process order and then make a service entry sheet against it, is this possible in SAP? I set the control key accordingly, a PR is generated but it is not for external service, it is working well for subcontracting. It is possible to generate PR for external service manually but i want to automate the process.

Thanks

Hi Muhammad Naveed,

In PP cycle we do not use the concept of taking external services. External services is hiring a vendor to come to your plant and do the servicing for your equipment. This is followed in plant maintenance module.

In PP cycle, we only send the material outside to vendor for doing a certain operation using PR - PO (subcontracting scenario).

Hope you are clear.

So how can i achieve this?? , there are some operations(counting and sorting) processed by different vendors(contractors) during production and they are paid according to the number of pieces processed by each, subcontracting is not possible since no material is issued to them.
