Steps for Subcontracting
Steps for Subcontracting
Like to share with you my Subcontracting Steps:
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
1. Define all the materials in your plant (subcontracting
and packaging etc).
2. In the material master MRP 4 view there is one field in
which you can mention that this material is not relevant to MRP planning, use
this field for subcontracting material so that it will not be planned in MRP
runs ( generally use this field for re-order point planning).
3. In the BOM for the subcontracting material put the
special procurement key as Subcontracting and do not keep relevance for costing.
4. If you're using packaging material of your company and
want to capture the cost of these materials in the subcontracting production
order then put relevance for cost.
5. Define alternate BOMs for each customer.
6. Generally the routing will be the same but materials
will change, define different prodcution versions for each alternate BOM and
assign to the routing.
7. Define the activite types for packing and mixing in the
work center and assign them to the cost center, use these for your routing.
8. Whenever you recive a sub-contracting order, use the
relevant production version depending on the customer.
In my place all the palnts belong to the same client in sap
and they want to use the same material code in both plants, so I think my
subcontracting scenario might be different from yours but it give you some ideas
to go about it.
