Stopping Charging for Components 

Use

You can stop charging a subcontractor for components at any time.

If the subcontractor has any components in stock when you stop charging, the system automatically generates the material documents and credit memos needed to recall them and reissue them as nonchargeable components. Note that even if the subcontractor does not have any components in stock, you still need to proceed as described below

Procedure

...

       1.      In the Subcontracting with Chargeable Components area menu, choose Component Maintenance  ® Start/Stop Charging for Components.

       2.      Enter data as follows:

¡        The vendors that you want to stop charging for the components

¡        The plants that issue the components

¡        The material numbers of the components that you want to stop charging for

       3.      In the Change Component Type field, enter 2 (Stop Charging).

       4.      Choose .

The system displays a list of components. The list shows the quantity of components that the subcontractor has in stock.

       5.      At the top of the screen, enter the document date and the posting date of the documents that the system will create.

       6.      In the component list, specify which storage location you want to transfer each component to.

This is required for technical reasons. When the system creates the material documents, it needs to know which storage location to post the goods movements to.

       7.      Select the components that you want to stop charging for and choose  Execute.

For each component, the system generates:

¡        A material document to reverse the goods issue

¡        A credit memo to reverse the invoices that you have issued for the chargeable components

¡        A material document to re-issue the components to the subcontractor, but this time free of charge

       8.      Select one of the items in the list and choose  Delete Info Record.

The system flags the chargeable components’ info records for deletion.

       9.      Repeat step 8 until you have deleted the info records for every item in the list.

If you try to delete more than one info record at a time, you may cause inconsistencies in the data.

Result

If, later on, you need to look up the documents that the system created, execute the program as described in steps 1–4 of Starting Charging for Components, and choose  Change History.
