Maintaining Vendor Master Records 

Use

To create a vendor master record for the Subcontracting for Chargeable Components solution, follow the standard procedure, and, in addition, enter the data described below.

Procedure

Linking the Vendor Master Record to the Customer Master Record

This ensures that you can offset the deductible payables that the subcontractor sends you against your invoices for chargeable components.

...

       1.      On the Control screen in the general data, enter the customer master record that you have created for this subcontractor in the Customer field.

       2.      On the Payment Transactions screen, select Clrg with Cust. (Clearing with Customer).

This setting is essential if you use the percentage-based offset method with this subcontractor. It is not essential if you use the consumption-based offset method, but we still recommend it.

In order for the link to function correctly, you must link the customer master record to the vendor master record as well (see Maintaining Customer Master Records).

Maintaining Subcontracting Data

...

       1.      On any screen, choose Subcontracting Data.

       2.      Enter the data relating to the subcontractor.

Make sure that you enter a subcontractor type. Otherwise, you will not be able, for example, to create invoices for chargeable components or enter deductible accounts payable.

       3.      To return to the main screen, choose Standard.

Entering a Text

On any screen in the company code data, choose Extras ® Texts, and enter a text of your choice under the text ID that you have created (see Maintenance of Subcontractor Master Data).

Goods Receipt-Based Invoice Verification

If you have agreed on the use of the consumption-based offset method with the subcontractor, select GR-Based Inv. Verif. on the Purchasing Data screen in the purchasing organization data.

When a buyer creates a purchasing info record for a subcontracting product for this subcontractor, the system automatically sets the goods receipt-based invoice verification flag in the record. Then, when a buyer creates a subcontract order for this product, the system automatically flags the order for goods receipt-based invoice verification. This flag is required for Consumption-Based Offsetting to work properly.
