Subcontracting Issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using subcontracting with source location in SNP. Below are steps executed.

1. Post SNP heuristic RUN there is Subcontracting SNP PREQ genrated from Plant to Vendor location. Shown under key figure distrubution receipt subcontracting.  At vendor location there is Planned order created with SNP PPM. Vendor location has requirement for component which is transfered to the plant using stock transfer reservation

2. SNP PREQ in ECC appears as subcontracting purchase requisition with item category L in ECC  post planning results are trasfered to ECC

3. SNP PREQ is converted to Subcontracting PO. This PO is shown under Disrubution recipt confirmed key figure at plant location in  APO. There is corrosponding planned order and requirement of component at vendor location.

4. PO is deleted in ECC this causes purchase requisition to open again in ECC. This purchase requisition comes to APO as PPDS Purchase requisition with category AG and is shown under key figure distrubution receipt planned and not distrubution receipt subcontracting.

Is this standarad behaviour?  Is there any seperate category in PPDS for subcontracting purchase requisition? In What cases ECC will send back SNP PREQ as PPDS purchase requisition? What is solution to get this preq shown under distrubution receipt subcontracting key figure.

Regards,

Santosh

Hi Santosh,

Just stumbled upon this post of yours. I hope you might have already got a solution for this issue. It is really an interesting scenario.

I think this should be a standard SAP behaviour. Creation of Purchase requisition by way of deleting a PO is as good as manual creation of PReq in ECC. This PReq will be seen as PPDS PReq in APO.

Please share what solution you applied to get this back as SNP PReq?

Hi Ravi,

Yes its standarad SAP design and only solution is to change category of such purchase requisition in CIF exit/BADI to Z category( or SNPPREQ category-we have not tried this) and include this Z category in Category group for distrubution receipt subcontracting.

We done POC in our test system but did not implemented this as there was no impact on planning impact was only on way we see data
