Equipment in subcontractor's stock get status ESTO

[Matthias038]

Hi,

sending a material which is serialized to the vendor's subcontracting stock via ME2O leads to delivery with type LB. That's SAP standard I guess - so, fine. Status of the equipment is ESTO EDEL - fine for me as well.

When the PGI is done for the delivery the equipment has status ESTO and that is strange now. I would expect at least something similar like ECUS, because physically the equipment is not in our premises but in the vendor's.

The equipment / serial number can easily be booked to another delivery and also PGI is working well for this.

Does anyone knows a trick / customizing / exit on how to impact the equipment status, when the PGI for the LB delivery is posted?

Thank you

Matthias

We are on non-valuated parts (tools). the procurement is happening on either assets or cost centres. Unfortunately this makes the usage of the split valuation impossible for us.

It is a calibration job for the tools we are using, almost like subcontracting a painting.

I guess we have to check for implementing our own logic.

Hi, You can explore the following options in test environment:

1) Use tcode IQ02 / IQ08 and goto Edit -> Spl.serial no.functions -> manual transactions.

This will open a window to change the required status of the equipment 'To Customer'. This will change the status of this slno of the material of this equipment.

2) Check with user exit MV50AFZ1in program SAPMV50A (may be VL02N). Here you can find USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT (form). Here you can call suitable function module to change the status of serial no. of this material/equipment.
