I already have an external key assigned in the routing.

What is this about Activating Special Procurement in the material?

That is in MRP 2

[Former Member]

the whole material isn't subcontracted

only 1 operation is externally processed.

Hi Rafiq,

Please let me know if i have understood your need correctly.

You want to know whether the finished good has been sent for the external operation - Yes or No... as there is no actual transfer posting done.

My requirement is that I have a production order with one operation that is externally processed.

I have this set in the routing with a different control key (PP02).

Shouldn't the main Finished Item be transffered to the vendor along with the Purchase Order?

Thank you

Hi Rafiq,

There are 2 types of sub-contracting, one where you just sub-contract an operation, so in this case, there is no question of issuing the header material to the sub-contractor in the system.

The other is where your material is transformed into another material, so in this case, you issue the material eg: A & receive it back as B.

So be clear about the process before mapping it into SAP.

If any additional info is required, revert back.

Regards,

Vivek
