Operation external processing using WIP Batch

[#1]

Hi,

In discrete manufacturing (Prod Order), I have three operations,oper: 0020 is externally processed(Ctrl key PP02), after completing oper: 0010, WIP material is sent to sub contractor, which we want count (mean how many WIP has been sent to vendor). I am creating a WIP batch on oper:0010 confirmation and want to issue it to vendor and also want receive it from vendor when oper:0020 is completed.

Please help me in this solution.

Hi Syed,

Operation subcontracting process as a service to the vendor for additional work out of the manufacturing site. You can check the best solution for your need in the following options.

1. Send materials to a subcontractor without WIP batch as service and maintain operations description as WIP batch code.

2. Create a new article as an intermediate and input for BOM component and send for service.

3. Activation of WIP process (above steps not manageable then implement this step). To activate business function basis team involvement required.

You can activate the business function LOG_MM_OM_1 to get the material code in the purchasing process. If you want to implement complete WIP process then activate LOG_PP_WIP_BATCH business function.
