Starting Charging for Components 

Use

This procedure describes how you start charging a subcontractor for a component that, up until now, was free of charge.

If the subcontractor has any components in stock when you start charging, the system automatically generates the material documents 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.

You then create a purchasing info record for the component, if you have not already done so.

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 start charging for the components

¡        The plants that issue the components

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

       3.      In the Change Component Type field, enter 1 (Start 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 reversal 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 start charging for and choose  Execute.

For each component that the subcontractor has in stock, the system generates:

¡        A material document to reverse the goods issue

¡        A material document to re-issue the components to the subcontractor

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

The system calls the transaction for creating info records for chargeable components.

       9.      Create an info record for each component as described in steps 4 and 5 of Creating Info Records for Chargeable Components.

   10.      Repeat steps 8 and 9 until you have created an info record for every item in the list.

If you try to create info records for more than one component at time, you may cause inconsistencies in the data.

Result

After you have created the info records for the chargeable components, create an invoice for the goods issues generated by the system.

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