 Subsequent Adjustments

Purpose

Once the subcontractor has delivered the repaired part, you post the goods receipt to the subcontract order. The system determines the necessary components for each purchase order item and creates a goods issue item for each component with the quantity that was determined in the purchase order.

If the subcontractor informs you after these postings that a greater or smaller quantity of the consumables were consumed than planned in the purchase order, you must post a subsequent adjustment to correct the consumption of consumables.

For more information, see Posting a Subsequent Adjustment .

Special Stock

You can subsequently adjust the special stock in Subcontracting for MRO processes using the Subcontracting Subsequent Adjustment function for the following special stock types:

  • B - Customer stock (DIMP only)

  • F - Customer order stock

  • I - Returnable transport packaging

  • J - Vendor consignment

  • R - Project stock

Process Flow

  1. Service provider receives a consumption notification from the subcontractor. This notification contains the following information:

    1. Purchase order number

    2. List of main items with either the total component consumption or the consumption difference for each component.

  2. Service provider calls transaction MIGO , selects the business operation Subsequent Adjustment from the list box. The system automatically chooses Purchase Order as the reference document. Then the user enters the purchase order number as referred to in the subcontractor’s notification. The list of main items is displayed.

  3. Service provider expands the main items for which he wants to change the component consumption. The list of components for the expanded item is displayed in the table control (hierarchy). The issued quantity already posted during goods receipt is displayed for each component.

  4. Service provider enters the difference quantity in the quantity field and selects the kind of difference with a check box:

    1. Blank = Excess consumption

      (Blank is the default value).

    2. X = Under consumption

  5. Service provider posts the subsequent adjustment.

Result

The specified quantities of the originally posted goods receipt are corrected by the subsequently adjusted quantities. The quantities are increased or decreased according to the subsequent adjustment but not replaced by these values.
