Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000)

Use this session to view, enter, and maintain the material supply lines that are linked to a subcontracted purchase order line, which indicate all materials and subassemblies that are supplied by you (the manufacturer) to the subcontractor.

After the materials are supplied to the subcontractor, the manufacturer remains the owner of the materials. As a result, no sales invoicing is required.

Subcontracting types

How the purchase order material supply lines are handled in this session, depends on the type of subcontracting, which can be operation subcontracting, item subcontracting, or unplanned subcontracting.

  • Operation subcontracting

    The material supply lines are filled by Shop Floor Control. They are based on the estimated material lines of a production order's subcontracted operation.

    • You cannot manually enter, maintain, or delete material supply lines in this session. Changes are initiated from the estimated material lines.
    • Consumed materials are issued from inventory. Manufacturing updates this session with the material consumptions.
  • Item subcontracting

    The material supply lines are filled from the bill of material (BOM) lines that have the Supplied by Subcontractor check box cleared.

    • You can manually enter, maintain, or delete material supply lines in this session.
    • Purchase Control updates this session with the material consumptions. This occurs by means of a consumption message, or by means of backflushing during the receipt of the subcontracted items.
  • Unplanned subcontracting
    If you decide to subcontract after the creation of a production order, unplanned subcontracting is applicable. For unplanned subcontracting, the material supply lines are filled by Shop Floor Control. They are based on the estimated material lines of the original production order's subcontracted operation, which will be deleted after the item subcontracting purchase order is generated.
Note

If the manufacturer receives less than ordered, or if the goods are rejected, a back order line is created. No additional material supply lines are linked to this line. By inserting new estimated material lines for operation subcontracting, or by manually adding material supply lines for item subcontracting, you can add material supply lines to the back order line.

  • The back order handling for the materials depends on the type of transfer order that is used to supply the materials.
    • Sales Order Transfer
      If the delivered quantity is less than the needed quantity, a back order line is created in Sales Control. This back order line is linked to the related purchase order in the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000) session.
    • Warehouse Transfer
      If the transferred quantity is less than the needed quantity, a back order is created for the warehouse transfer if the Create Backorders check box is selected for the order type in the Warehousing Order Type (whinh0110m000) session.
Supply orders

Supply orders or schedules must be generated in the current session or the Generate Supply Orders for Subcontracting (tdpur4216m000) session. It depends on the supply system how supply orders/schedules are generated for the materials.

  • Order controlled/Single
    If the Responsible for Supply Planning check box is selected, the Supply Type determines from where the materials are supplied.
    • If this field is set to Warehouse, a warehouse transfer order, sales transfer order, or sales transfer schedule must be generated to transfer the materials from the component warehouse (supply-from warehouse) to the administrative warehouse (supply-to warehouse), which represents the subcontractor's shop floor warehouse.
    • If this field is set to Supplier, the manufacturer orders the goods from the Buy-from Business Partner who directly delivers the goods to the administrative warehouse (supply-to warehouse), which represents the subcontractor's shop floor warehouse. As a result, a supply purchase order or purchase schedule must be generated.
  • If the Responsible for Supply Planning check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning generates a purchase order or schedule in the subcontractor's system, which is sent to the manufacturer. By means of a sales transfer in the manufacturer's system, the materials are transferred from the manufacturer to the subcontractor.
  • Order controlled/Batch
    If the supply system is order controlled/Batch, supply orders are generated by Warehousing based on supply requests. No link exists between the material supply lines in this session and the generated supply orders.
  • Other supply system
    If the supply system is not Order Controlled/Single or Order Controlled/Batch, supply orders are generated by Enterprise Planning. No link exists between the material supply lines in this session and the generated supply orders.
Note
  • For the Order Controlled/Single supply system, this session can be used to generate supply orders. For all other supply systems, this session is used for information purposes and to view the material consumptions.
  • If order line fields are changed on an approved purchase order, the linked material supply lines and supply orders are updated. However, if the Item or Subcontracted fields change, the linked material supply lines are deleted.

 

Purchase Order
The purchase order to which the material supply lines are linked.
Line
The number used to identify the position of the order line on the sales or purchase order.
Line
The number used to identify in detail the position number of a sales order (delivery) line or a purchase order line (detail).
Material Sequence
The number that identifies a data record or a step in a sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in many contexts. Usually LN generates the sequence number for the next item or step. Depending on the context, you can overwrite this number. You can sometimes influence the numbering by setting the corresponding parameters.
Warehouse Order Reference Sequence Number
A material supply sequence number, which is used as a unique reference for the inbound and outbound order lines in Warehousing. The material supply sequence number is unique for each purchase order line.
Note
  • To distinguish these material supply sequence numbers from other sequence numbers, the numbering runs from 1000 up to 9999.
  • This field is only applicable for item subcontracting, for which inbound and/or outbound order lines must be generated for the material supply lines.
Material
The material that must be supplied to the subcontractor by the manufacturer.
Subassembly
If this check box is selected, the material is a subassembly.
Note

If the material is a subassembly, the Responsible for Supply Planning check box is always selected.

Effectivity Unit
A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item.
Required Quantity
The quantity of the material that is required for the subcontractor.

For item subcontracting, this quantity is calculated as follows:

(Net Quantity + scrap) * Ordered Quantity
  • The net quantity and scrap are retrieved from the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.
  • The ordered quantity is retrieved from the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session.

For operation subcontracting, this quantity is calculated as follows:

To Issue + Subsequent Delivery

These quantities are retrieved from the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.

Inventory Unit
The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.
