Hello all,
I have a requirement where we want a strategy to procure internal products for R&D purposes and here are the requirements:-
- R&D needs consumable kits from Manufacturing inventory
- These kits are considered WIP or GF in the inventory and reside as inventory in Balance Sheets
- When R&D requests these materials, we take it out of the inventory and charge it against R&D cost center. But we also want to tie this to a statistical WBS so we can keep track of different spend against out projects. We are using statistical since we don't want to deal with end of period settlements.
- We also need approval routing
- We also need the forecasting ability for these materials.
Could this be handled through Internal Order AAC in requisitions? If so what would be the process flow. If not, what are the other options we have for procuring this internally?
We also thought about reservations, but we would need to build a custom workflow for approval routing for that. So any standard SAP functionality that can handle this?
I would appreciate any creative ideas to solve this problem
