| | SubcontractingOften, one company does not deliver the entire offering of
Service, as is the case of products. In some cases, the entire service of a
product is subcontracted to a supplier. The customer still has the advantage of
one main contractor as contact. The following functionality handles activities carried out by
a subcontractor in Service
Order Control: - A procedure is available
that automatically generates a purchase order for subcontracting purposes. This
procedure proceeds synchronously with the purchase procedure for materials that
are acquired by purchase (see delivery type: By Purchase Order).
- The subcontractor who
will carry out the activity, and the item that identifies the subcontracting in
purchase, can be recorded for each activity.
- The purchase order is
generated when subcontracting is defined as another cost line in the Service Order Estimated Other Costs (tssoc2140m000) session. The global SRP
automatically generates the purchase order when additional purchase data is
entered.
- The agreed period in
which the subcontracting must be realized and can be recorded as an appointment
under the activity.
Note - You cannot include
these time boundaries as purchase data.
- You can define
subcontracting as other requirement by planned activity.
- If you only enter the
item in the Item field and you leave the Buy-from B.P. field empty, a vendor
rating/selection can be carried in Purchase Control.
