Dear all,
We are currently setting up the subcontracting process in our SAP system.
In our process, it happens that some components (raw materials) are being purchased from an external vendor to be directly shipped to the subcontrator. Some components also come from our warehouses.
We use the ME2O transaction to manage inventory at the subcontractor, and we use inbound deliveries on all our purchasing processes (inbound deliveries are used through VL06i to provide the subcontractor a report with incoming receptions, and to create batches).
Our issue is that when creating an inbound delivery on the purchase order to be delivered to the subcontractor, quantity to be delivered "disappears" from the ME2O report. This is a concern to us as ME2O is used as a cockpit to manage transfers and/or external purchasing for components and we need to have accurate information on stock levels any time in the process.
See details below.
ME2O before purchasing
We have got 76 packs (splitted in batches 293 and 316) at the subcontractor.
Purchasing
We purchase 100 packs from an external vendor to be shipped directly to the subcontractor.
ME2O after purchasing and before inbound delivery creation
This purchase order shows up in the ME2O transaction. Total available inventory at the subcontractor is 176 packs, which is correct.
Inbound delivery and batch creation
Through VL31n tcode, we create the inbound delivery and the new batch for the material.
ME2O after inbound delivery creation
The ME2O tcode no longer shows the expected receipt to the subcontractor ! Available quantity at the subcontractor is back to 76 packs, where the real information is 176 packs.
ME2O after Goods receipt
After we post goods receipt through VL32n, inventory is shown into the ME2O tcode, and available quantity is back to 176 packs.
If anyone could help with it, maybe with something to do on our customizing and/or some OSS note it would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Pierre
