 Normal Repair - Complete Subcontracting with Refurbishment Orders

Purpose

In this case, repair work is performed externally and only by the subcontractor. The refurbishment order is used to generate the subcontracting purchase requisition exactly as in a normal PM order scenario. No goods movement are performed with regards to the refurbishment order (for example, 261/101), all goods movements are driven from the subcontracting process.

Process Flow

  1. If the first operation has an external control key (for example, PM02) and the Subcontracting indicator is set, the subcontracting process is triggered .

  2. The user must set the value of the material provision indicator (MPI) to Rework Material to Subcontractor (value S) for the main component. This component has the movement type 543 and a purchase requisition is created depending on the reservation relevance.

  3. The goods receipt for the subcontracting purchase order is posted in the Subcontracting Monitor ( ADSUBCON ) or the MB xx transactions, including the goods movement transaction MIGO (general rule when last operation is external). The final movement to update the inventory is dependent on whether special stock is involved in the subcontracting scenario.

    • If the subcontracting purchase order has a special stock assignment in this scenario, the goods receipt process already updates the inventory level. Therefore, all that is needed is a goods receipt posting (101) for the subcontracting purchase order, and no adjustment posting. The goods receipt posting updates the refurbishment order header automatically (simulating an IW8W 101 receipt), sets the Delivery Completed indicator and delivered quantity correctly, updates the order status to ‘delivered’ or ‘goods received’.

    • If the subcontracting purchase order has no special stock assignment in this scenario, the goods receipt (101) for the subcontracting purchase order is only a consumption movement, and no stock update takes place. A separate inventory update is therefore necessary. An automatic goods receipt (101) with reference to the refurbishment order is triggered in the background right after the goods receipt for the subcontracting purchase order. Therefore the user does not have to post the final receipt for the refurbishment order in IW8W , it is done automatically in one step with the subcontracting goods receipt.

  4. Regardless of the goods movements and Delivery Completed indicator, the user still has to manually close the refurbishment order; this (if necessary) deletes any outstanding order reservations and planned header receipts.

  5. The subcontracting purchase order is visible in the document flow of the refurbishment order as a follow-up document.
