Subcontracting with component from different company code

[nevin_philip]

Hi

We have a subcontracting scenario where the finished Goods is ordered from a plant in Canada but one of the component comes from a plant in US(different company code). While receiving the PO we are receiving the below error

Account requires an assignment to a CO object

We have all the OKB9 settings for the account in both the company code. The error is gone when a default cost center is assigned to the cost element. Is there a standard setting to support this process

Once you raise a PO for the finished product, it would be ideal if the manufacturing / delivering plant in Canada raises a PO on US plant so that the standard procurement process can takes place.

Hi Lakshmi,

I assume you are mentioning to create an STO from US to Canada plant and then change the BOM for the FG PO to look into the Canada plant instead of the US plant?

Not sure about your process but you can follow these processes

1. Normal PO for procurement of raw material( component) from plant in US(different company code).

2. Once raw material received -you can transfer to your company code

3. Crate Subcontract PO to Subcontract vendor for Canada with finished Goods

Hi Bijay,

Thanks for your response. So the BOM for the FG to be received in Canada has a component to be issued from US. When we do a 101 against the FG PO we get the above error. We dont do a transfer but based on the location in the BOM , the 543 happens. We are getting the error in this case. Let me know if you need more clarification

Why cannot share screen of error message and why you need cost object in subcontract process as you are dealing with all inventory managed materials?

1. Share screen of error message

2. Share BOM set up for your finished product

3. Material types set up in OMS2 for finished product and raw materials

4. MMBE report of raw materials

5. PO screen for your finished product where you have raw materials too
