• Gestione articoli

  Define the end item that you want to subcontract in the Articoli (tcibd0501m000) session.

• Dati produzione articoli

  To send material to the subcontractor, select the Conto lavoro con supporto flusso di materiale check box in the Articolo - Produzione (tiipd0101m000) session.

• Dati di acquisto articolo

  In the Articoli - Acquisti (tdipu0101m000) session, enter the appropriate price in the Prezzo di acquisto operazione in conto lavoro field.

• Dati di vendita articolo

  In the Articoli - Business Partner vendite (tdisa0510m000) session, enter the administrative warehouse defined in the previous step in the Magazzino 'Destinazione spedizione' field.

You can regulate the supply of components to the subcontractor in the following ways:

• Order specific supply

  Order specific supply means that supply is linked to the subcontracting purchase order. The supplied quantity is the quantity required for the purchase order. To use order specific supply, the component's supply system in the Dati articolo per Magazzino (whwmd2510m000) session must be Controllato da ordine/Unico, for the correct combination of component and administrative warehouse.

  Order specific supply can exist between manufacturer and subcontractor, or directly between supplier and subcontractor:

  • Manufacturer - subcontractor

    Select the Fornitura da magazzino check box in the Dati articolo per Magazzino (whwmd2510m000) details session, for the relevant combination of component and administrative warehouse.

    Supply happens via warehouse transfers.

  • Supplier - subcontractor

    Clear the Fornitura da magazzino check box in the Dati articolo per Magazzino (whwmd2510m000) details session, for the related combination of component and administrative warehouse. The Sistema ordine must be Manual in the Articoli (tcibd0501m000) session to clear this check box.

    Enter the supplier in the Business Partner 'Origine spedizione' field and the BP 'Origine vendita' field.

    Supply happens by purchase order.

• Bulk supply

  Bulk supply means that components are sent to the subcontractor anonymously, independent of the subcontracting purchase order. You must chose one of these methods for a subcontracting (administrative) warehouse.

  • Supply system

    In the Dati articolo per Magazzino (whwmd2510m000) details session, for the correct combination of component and administrative warehouse, you can choose Punto ordine tempificato, Kanban, or Controllato da ordine/Batch to generate bulk supply. Note: If the administrative and the supplying warehouses are assigned to a cluster it must be the same one, otherwise they should not be clustered.

  • Pianificazione aziendale

    To generate bulk supply using Pianificazione aziendale, the administrative warehouse must be in a different cluster than the main warehouse. Furthermore, distribution relations must be defined between the two warehouses. The supply system defined in the Dati articolo per Magazzino (whwmd2510m000) details session, must be Controllato da ordine/Unico. For more information about clusters, refer to Planning Clusters in Enterprise Planning.

Define terms and conditions in the following cases:

• If components are shipped by sales orders.
• If the subcontractor is responsible for the components' planning.

Complete these steps:

1. From the Termini e condizioni (tctrm1100m000) session, start the Termini e condizioni (tctrm1600m000) session to define a terms and conditions agreement. The Tipo di termini e condizioni field must be Vendite.

2. Define a terms and conditions search level for which the Attributo di ricerca 1 field is Gruppo articoli, and the Attributo di ricerca 2 field is Magazzino. Select the Ordine check box and the Pianificazione check box.

3. Double-click the defined search level to start the Livello di ricerca termini e condizioni (tctrm1610m000) session. In this session, define the items to which the agreement applies.

4. Double-click the defined items to start the Riga termini e condizioni (tctrm1620m000) session. On the Planning tab or in the Termini e condizioni pianificazione (tctrm1135m000) session, select the Resp. pianificazione fornitura check box. On the Order tab or in the Termini e condizioni ordine (tctrm1130m000) session, select Trasferimento ordine di vendita in the Tipo di trasferimento field.

For more information about agreements, refer to Setting up terms and conditions.

If components are planned by the subcontractor or shipped by sales order, define a contract in the Contratti di vendita (tdsls3500m000) session. The BP 'Destinazione vendita' field must contain the subcontractor code. Use the ID termini e condizioni field to link the applicable terms and conditions agreement.

Define the rest of the contract in the Righe contratti di vendita (tdsls3501m000) session.

In the Distinta base (tibom1110m000) session, create the subcontracted item's BOM.

If the Fornito da terzista check box is cleared, the components are sent to the subcontractor to be used in the subcontracted item. If this check box is selected, the components are directly supplied by the subcontractor.
