Hi Friends,
I have provided brief details about Subcontracting process as per my experience. Make it useful. What is subcontracting process? Subcontracting is one of the procurement processes available in MM. In this process, components are shared to vendor to get the final product. Below are the steps involved in this process. Steps to perform subcontracting:
- Create subcontracting Info record (Optional) – T Code – ME11
- Create subcontracting PO with item category L – T Code – ME21N Steps: ME21N —> Enter Item Category L –>, Material (End Product), PO Quantity, Delivery Date, Net Price, Plant –> Click on Item Details –> Tab Material Data — >Components, select Explode BOM –> Click on Components button –> Enter the sub components –> Go back & Save. Note: Components can be exploded through BOM (T Code CS01) or components can be given manually also.
- Create Transfer Posting with Movement Type 541 to issue the sub components to the vendor T Code -ME2O/ MIGO
- Goods Receipt for finished product – T Code -MIGO Note: During goods receipt, final product will be received with movement type 101 and components will be consumed automatically with 543 movement type
- Invoice Receipt for the services performed – T Code – MIRO
Accounting entries for subcontracting: Example: Components cost is 100 INR, Subcontracting Charges are 40 INR
There will be no account entries at transfer posting 541.
Accounting entries at the time of Goods Receipt 101 (&543) : Finished goods will be received with 101 and the Components will be consumed with Movement type 543.
Here Dr means Debit (+Ve) and Cr means Credit (-Ve)
(BSX) Stock A/c of Assembly – 140 Dr
(BSV) Change in Subcontracting Stock -140 Cr
(FRL) Subcontracting Charges – 40 Dr
(WRX) GR/IR Clearing A/c – 40 Cr
(BSX) Stock A/c of Components – 100 Cr
(GBB-VBO) Consumption A/c of Components – 100 Dr
Accounting entries at the time of Invoice Receipt :
(KBS) Vendor A/C – 40 Cr
(WRX) GR/IR Clearing A/C – 40 Dr
Accounting entries at the time of Payment :
Vendor A/C – 40 Dr
Company Bank A/C – 40 Cr

Ganesh

Check whether the GR was done properly or not. If there is no GR, system won’t get the reference so it will ask for details to give as input

Subcontracting is an external procurement process so you can’t finish the process with only PR as it is an internal document. You should convert PR to PO to finish the processs. You can check my document on Subcontracting and if you need more details, you can reach me to ganesh.sap2015@gmail.com

Hi Ganesh, thank for your explanation. I would like to ask you a question regarding to subcontracting process in SAP. Is there any way to avoid the PO step? I try to explain better: do you know if we can avoid the PO doing only 2 MvT in MIGO tcode? For example, 561 O and 543 O Movement Type?
LikeLike
561 Movement type is not a regular business movement. It won’t be accepted.

Suppose if we give the raw materials to the vendor 50 kg but at the end of process. we came to know about only 46 kg material is used so how we can receive our under- consumed material i.e. 4 kg in sap.
