Operation external processing using WIP Batch

[smhaque3]

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.

Hello,

Subcontracting to send work in process batches to subcontractors is possible

If you have to support subcontracting operations within a manufacturing order you can use WIP batches to send the work in

process parts to a subcontractor.

Activate customizing for WIP Batch functionality business function

LOG_PP_WIP_BATCH

For externally processed operations, you can use the BAdI PP_OM_BD_BANF_HEADER_MATERIAL to transfer the header material or the relevant reference material of the production order to the purchase requisition.

An outsourced operation can be confirmed using the implementation of the Prepare Order Information for ERP (ICH_BIF_WO_INF_IN) BAdI.

Please refer this document on WIP batches.

Work in Process Batches (WIP Batch)

sdn1.pngHi Brahmankar,

Thank you for your reply, but I am stuck. Details are in attachment.

Order is created/released for header (sub con PR is created for operation 0020) and CO11N is done and during that time WIP batch is created for 199. Now I want to do mvmt - 541 for mat- 199,(so that when I will be doing GR for sub con PO this WIP batch will be consumed.) but unable to perform, since WIP is in block stock. So unable to proceed. Please help.

By the way I am using S4-1610

Hello,

we use business function LOG_MM_OM_1 but the BAdI PP_OM_BD_BANF_HEADER_MATERIAL has some limitations which you should check in advance.

Have a look at OSS note 1466626.

My advice: read and fully understand the limitations that comes with it.

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.
