Purchasing, Inventory Management: Entry Aids for Goods Issues involving Subcontract Orders

Description

As of Release 3.0, it is possible to enter goods issues for subcontract orders in one of two ways:

Changes in procedure

Goods issue with reference to PO

Proceed as follows:

1. From the Inventory Management menu, choose "Goods issue -> Goods issue -> Enter with reference -> To purchase order". A dialog box appears, in which you have to enter the movement type. You can enter the numbers of the desired POs and the item, or you can search via material and plant key.
2. Click on "Continue". You will then get a screen for each of the POs entered containing default values for the subcontracting materials still to be issued.
3. If necessary, change the defaults for quantity and plant and click on "Adopt".
4. Save the goods issue.

Entering a goods issue from the list of all materials of a subcontracting vendor

Proceed as follows:

1. From the Purchasing menu, choose "Purchase order -> Analyses -> SC stocks per vendor". A list of all materials of this vendor will appear, complete with the relevant PO number and a comparison of the quantity of material required by the vendor and the quantity currently available to him.
Negative stock levels (shortages) of material needed by the vendor are highlighted in the list.
If you set the indicator 'Only neg. available SC stocks', the system will only list materials of which the subcontracting vendor (subcontractor) is currently short.
2. Select the materials with negative stock levels (shortages) for which you wish to enter goods issues to the subcontractor and choose "Environment -> Goods issue -> Post". For each of the selected materials you will get a box in which you have to enter the storage location from which the material is to be withdrawn. You can also enter a batch and change the plant or quantity specification. The movement type "Goods issue: stores to subcontracting vendor" is suggested.
3. Click on "Continue". You will then receive a system message advising you for how many of the items processed a goods issue was posted.
If a goods issue could not be posted for all of them, you can obtain further information via the log. For this purpose, choose "Environment ->Goods issue -> Processing log".

Change system parameters in customizing

Up to Release 2.2, the field "KUNNR" only appears in the case of third- party orders. As of Release 3.0, it should always appear. To ensure that it does, you must activate it via field selection.
