located?
Overview
Enhancement of conventional subcontracting business process in to modern method through SAP
enhanced and future.
Highlight
- Productivity improved
Scope of Outsourcing
- Purchase order process with Serial number (In case of Equipment Repair)
- Shipping notification (ASN) from Subcontractor for Main material as well as Components
- Goods receipt for purchase order delivered by subcontractor (Through Inbound delivery method)
- Scrap analysis
- SNC Integration
- Serial number assignment in Subcontracting Purchase order (In case of Serial profile active)
- Subcontracting Cockpit
- New Movements
- Consumption history
- Scrap Report
- Monitoring component consumption, Batch tracing, Transfer of AMPL (In case of SNC Integration)
1. Subcontracting Cockpit
The subcontracting cockpit is simple to use and control the overall subcontracting process. It gives high
visibility towards subcontracting process.
- Facility to change the shipping point and batch number when the outbound delivery is getting created
New movement types available to make one step/two step stock transfer to Vendor (Example,
Movement type 30A & 30C: Transfer of unrestricted-use
- The output report can be downloaded and the list can be sent via email
Transaction: ME2ON
Goods issue to subcontractor "outbound delivery" will appear in the purchase order
history overview. Hence, it is useful for the SCM team to check whether the particular
SC order components have been issued or not by navigating further.
2. Serial Number Assignment
Serial number can be assigned when the subcontracting Purchase Requisition/Purchase Order is getting
created.
When you send the equipment for repair, there is no need of input serial number again.
3. Inbound Delivery Creation with Subcontracting Components
The subcontracting components (BOM) can be entered when the Inbound delivery is getting created.
This functionality allows to assign subcontracting materials and its batches including quantities in
Inbound delivery screen.
- Assignment of subcontracting material quantities and batches from the stock overview in Inbound
delivery creation screen itself
- Posting Goods receipt from the same screen without entering batches again
The new movement types are introduced to monitor subcontracting stock and consignment stock in a
more effective way.
- Transfer stock from supplying plant to subcontractor directly in one step in case of STO
The Purchase order is getting created. Assign the subcontracting vendor as a recipien. In case of two
step procedure, use "30A" mvoement type to issue the components from the supplying plant.
Once the component issued from the supplying plant, it will come to the SC in transit. The same can be
monitored under stocks at Subcontractor.
The document will be updated in outbound delivery document flow
Finally, do the Place in storge with reference to the goods issue document reference.
The stock will be moved to subcontractor's unrestricted area.
5. Component Consumption and Scrap Analysis
The component consumption and scrap report will give high visibility on consumption and scrap out of
subcontractor work
- Component consumption report provides consumption of components for a specific purchase order
and will be automatically update in case of SNC
integration
- The purchase order history can be navigated from this report and further drilldown of consumed
components also possible
6. SNC Integration
With SNC integration, supplier can plan replenishment and subcontracting. The confirmation of work in
SNC, key information is sent automatically to SAP.
- Timely consumption enables to book the consumption of subcontracting components separate from
the goods entry
- Batch tracking
For the subcontracting info record, select "RT consumption" in Purchase organization data view. In
case, SNC integration, ECC will be updated with the real time component consumption at
subcontractor's end. The consumptions of the subcontractor are displayed in the component
consumption history.
Key Business funtion
To achieve the above functionalities, one needs to activate the following business function and
subsequent configuration settings in SAP ECC.
for Serial number, LOG_MM_SERNO (Serial Numbers in Purchasing with Integration in Inventory
Management & Shipping)
Prerequsite:
Configuration Settings:
Define Item Category Determination in Deliveries:
Menu Path:
Here, create a new combination of delivery type and item category for the
subcontracting delivery type (LB) with usage as "V".
Here, assign the serial number profile to the Purchase requisition document type. The
same profile should be assigned to the serial number procedure "PRSL".
Determine Serial Number Profiles
Menu Path:
Here, create a serial number new procedure "POSL" and "PRSL" for purchase order and purchase
requisition respectively and assign the same to serial profile.
Menu Path:
Here, assign the serial number profile to the Purchase requisition document type. The
same profile should be assigned to the serial number procedure "POSL".
Set Up Subcontract Order:
Menu Path:
Menu Path:
Here, maintain document type for the supply plant and receiving plant combination
with one step or two step procedure. In case of one step procedure, the stock will be
directly go to subcontractor's stock without going to the receiving plant.
Setting for Field Seletion group for SNC Integration:
Menu Path:
In case of SNC integration, to update real time component consumption in ECC, teh
field timely consumption needs to be activated. The below screenshot shows the
activation of the field "Timely consumption" in info record.
Conclusion
With this new functionalities, Industries can leverage this process for consistent and
more collaborative business purpose.
