Consolidated subcontracting PR for multiple production orders

[ramakanth_sagar]

The requirement is for Production Order operation subcontracting. We have seen the standard SAP operation subcontracting process. In this, one of the operations in the Routing is performed by the external vendor (subcontractor). In SAP for each operation, based on the master data maintained, system will generate a Subcontracting Purchase Requisition. So, there will be one PR each production order.

The client requirement is that there should be only one subcontracting Purchase Requisition created for the several production orders combined.   

Is there any solution for the requirement?

Hello @ramakanth_sagar 

Thank you for your question.

Please note that in the standard SAP S/4HANA (Public Cloud or On-Premise), the system generates a separate subcontracting purchase requisition (PR) for each production order. Unfortunately, it is not possible to consolidate these into a single PR across multiple orders using standard functionality. The design ensures that each subcontracting operation is tracked individually, especially for planning and traceability.

That been said, PRs can be consolidated into one purchase order during the conversion stage, provided the vendor and the purchasing data align. In this case, if PR-level consolidation is a strict requirement, a custom enhancement would be necessary to modify how PRs are created or grouped.

I hope this helps in providing clarity. I am happy to help if you have further questions.

If you find my response helpful, kindly accept the answer and award a Kudos to this post. Your support is appreciated.

Best regards
