  MRO Subcontracting in Purchasing

Use

Purchase requisitions and purchase orders have been enhanced to cover Subcontracting for MRO Processes. The enhancements cover the addition of data specific to Subcontracting for MRO Processes, such as the subcontracting type, special stock, and serial numbers in the purchase order.

Features

  • Subcontracting types indicating the different subcontracting scenarios

    If you use maintenance orders, the subcontracting type is dependent on the material provision indicator (MPI) in the maintenance order. If you do not use maintenance orders, you enter the subcontracting type in the purchase requisition or purchase order.

    The purchase order determines the value of the subcontracting type from the referenced purchase requisition.

    The MPI that determines the value of the subcontracting type can be set only to Rework Material to Subcontractor , Rework Material from Subcontractor . In the case of forward exchange, theDeferred Delivery MPI is adopted automatically in the purchase order or purchase requisition. This is done when the purchase requisition is created from the maintenance order, or when forward exchange is carried out for the purchase order in the subcontracting monitor. For more information, see Material Provision Indicator .

  • Serial number management in the subcontract purchase order and subcontract purchase requisition.

  • Subcontracting for special stock

    During goods movements, the Subcontracting for Special Stock field indicates which special stock is used in the subcontracting process.

  • Additional information for the purchase requisition.

    If the purchase requisition is created from the PM/CS order, you can add further information to the item text in the purchase requisition by using business add-in (BAdI) BADI_DIAD_SUBCON_1. The BAdI allows you to copy your own specific data to the purchase requisition text. The BAdI is called when the purchase requisition is generated from a maintenance order.
