Defining SPO data for subcontracting cost objects

To generate a Subcontracting Procurement Order for this type of cost object, the Procurement By field must be set to Subcontracting Procurement Order. The value specified in the Services Trade field is used to categorize cost objects and to match the Buy-from Business Partner (supplier) during the requirements planning. The Cost Determination method can be set to Rate Only or Amount Only. You can budget and plan the requirement based on this method. It remains possible to use the methods Quantity and Time Unit. The Base Unit can be specified to indicate the type of unit that must be used (Quantity or Time) when the Cost Determination field is set to Amount Only or Rate Only. This helps to determine whether a quantity unit or a time unit must be used when maintaining the budget and requirements planning.
