Hello,
We produce finished products out of raw materials procured by the purchase department.
For some of our customers, we are acting as a subcontractor. In this case, (some of) the components are provided by the customers to us, and we transform them into finished products. The challenge is that in advance, it is not always clear which components will be provided by them and which we'll procure ourselves. for your information: The finished product remains always the same and the components (= SAP material numbers) also remain the same whether they are procured internally or whether the customer is providing them.
The question I want to raise to you is how to set up this process in SAP in a decent way:
- If the our customers always provide the same components
- If it is not clear in advance which components the customer will provide and which ones should be provided by our customer’s purchase department.
- Meaning in this scenario it is only clear during order entry which components are provided.
The idea we had is to work with non-valuated materials, which is a solution for the first scenario, but then we still have an issue in the scenario.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
KR,
Peter
