hi experts

I have posted a transfer posting (MB1B) with 541 movement against subcon PO. here i am getting the subcon done for plant XXXX from plant YYYY (plant as vendor). On 541 posting accounting entries for component material (which is 541 done) are as under;

Receiving plant (subcon vendor) profit centre debit TO sending plant's profit centre.

Whereas there should not be any accounting entry in 541 document posting.

kindly suggest what can be route cause of this.

thanks in advance.

do you have different profit centers assigned in those 2 plants?

Yes.

But the question is why accounting entry has been generated in 541 movement.

I just read again thru your initial post and I am bit confused now.

you wrote plant YYYY (plant as vendor)

what do you want to say with that?

there is no subcontracting between plants in standard SAP.. The subcontract process is with external vendors only.

if you create a subcontract order in plant A to and external vendor and one of the components is moved with 541 from plant B to the subcontractor, then this component is still in plant B under special stock.  it is removed from plant B subcontracting stock when you post the receipt to the subcontract order in plant A.(with movement 543.

I think you get your issue because you are changing plants in your 541 movement (even I would not know how), or SAP is just confused as I am because you do subcontracting with vendors that have a plant assigned.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

We are doing following inter plant activities (due to business reasons)

1) Stock transfer (PO with item category "U")

2) Interplant subcon (PO with item category "L and each plant is created as vendor also)

3) Interplant Sale purchase (Normal PO created the way is is created for outside vendorand each plant is created as customer also)

The issue is with ref to point number 2

Rest clarificaiton has already given

thanks in advance

As I already said, there is no such interplant subcontracting.- we had discussed this in December many times.

if both plants are on SAP, then both want to do their job with SAP.

But how can your subcontracting plant do the production activities for a subcontract order?

how does this plant consume the subcontract stock of the other plant?, how can this plant delivery the finished good to the ordering plant?
