 Provision of Parts to the Subcontractor (Transfer Posting)

Use

You trigger the goods movement to the subcontractor stock of the main component to be repaired (together with possible consumables) in the following ways:

From the outbound delivery

In the subcontracting monitor

Using the standard Transfer Posting function (transaction codeMB1B) with reference to the subcontract purchase order

Using the Transfer Posting Purchase Order function (transaction codeMIGO) to post the goods movement

Before posting the transfer posting, the part with the appropriate serial number, batch, and valuation type is available on the storage location from which the goods are going to be sent out. If this is not the case, you have to carry out a prerequisite posting to update the stock with the required part.

If the reference purchase order item contains a serial number, the system proposes the serial number during the goods movement and copies it into the material document for the part to be repaired. If the serial number is not maintained in the purchase order item, you have to maintain it during the transfer posting. You enter the serial numbers of the consumable components manually during the goods movement.

For transfer postings to subcontractor carried out using transactionMIGO(movement type 541 in standard),MIGOproposes serial numbers from the purchase order item if it concerns a recursive repair (the same physical part is received back from subcontractor) (subcontracting type 1 - Refurbishment with unchanged material number or 2 - Refurbishment with changed material number ). For subcontracting type 3 Replacement the user must enter the serial numbers manually because the ingoing and outgoing parts are physically different.

You can post partial goods receipts. UsingMB1BorMIGO, you can do multiple postings for partial quantities with reference to the purchase order. FromADSUBCONonly one posting is allowed.

Parts that are provided to the subcontractor are managed as unvalued stock provided to vendor when you enter the Subcontracting for Special Stock field in the corresponding purchase order item and set the special stock indicator in the component data.

This does not apply to the special stock types project stock or sales order stock at subcontractor. These special stock types are valuated.

In Inventory Management, the provision represents a transfer posting from special stock (the special stock type depends on the value in the field) to the subcontracting stock (for project stock, customer stock, sales order stock, vendor consignment stock, or returnable transport packaging stock).

You can use several partial deliveries to provide the parts and consumables to the subcontractor.
