Subcontracting: Third-Party Comp. Provision in SNP and PP/DS (extended)

Use

As of SAP APO 4.0, you can plan subcontracting with third-party provision of materials or components in Supply Network Planning (SNP) and Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS). Subcontracting refers to the process whereby a product is manufactured by an external supplier. Third-party order processing can be used if you want an external supplier to provide the components for a product that is to be manufactured by a subcontractor, rather than providing the components yourself from your own plant.

For example, a company in the USA sells hand-held devices. However, the company itself does not manufacture the devices; it has a subcontractor in Asia for this. An external supplier who is also based in Asia supplies the components for the hand-held devices, such as the casing.

With the standard subcontracting procedure, the supplier from Asia would deliver the components to the plant in the USA and the USA plant would then send the components to the subcontractor in Asia. To avoid this unnecessarily indirect route, the supplier can send the components directly to the subcontractor.

You can now model this process in the SAP system using third party order processing.

Note the following when modeling master data:

For every subcontracting component that you want to send directly from supplier to subcontractor, you have to manually create a transportation lane from the supplier (start location) to the subcontractor (destinatination location) in the SAP APO system. You also assign the associated external procurement relationship to each transportation lane.

If a purchase requisition is created at the supplier's location, the SAP R/3 system automatically assigns to the purchase requisition the address of the subcontractor in Asia as the delivery address and not the address of the plant in the USA. The Subcontracting vendor indicator is set at the same time. The purchase order adopts the delivery address of the purchase requisition during conversion. During goods receipt for a purchase order of this kind, the components of the hand-held device are automatically posted to the stock with subcontractor.

Effects on Customizing

In order for SNP orders to be transferred to the SAP R/3 system, you have to make the relevant setting in Customizing. To do this, choose SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Supply Chain Planning -> Supply Network Planning -> Basic Settings -> Configure Transfer to OLTP Systems.

Note the following:
If you set No Transfer, the orders are not transferred, even if you have made a different setting for SAP APO at the Supply Chain Planning interface.
