Purpose

This page explains how multi-level subcontracting works in S/4HANA systems.

Overview

This test case is tested on S/4HANA 1610 system. Release of software component S4CORE is SAPK-10103INS4CORE.

Make sure all of the customizing settings are maintained as documented in note 2516504.

MM01 : Create the following materials with settings listed

Plant : 0001	Procurement type	Special procurement type	Production version	MRP area assignment in MM02
Subcontracting assembly 1 : NG_SUB_Assy1	F	30	Must create with BOM selection
Subcontracting assembly 2 : NG_SUB_Assy2	F		Must create with BOM selection	0001-SUB, special procurement type = 30
Component : NG_SUB_CMP	F			0001-SUB2, special procurement type = 45 (optional)

CS01: Create BOM

ME11: create subcontracting info record for assembly 1 and assembly 2. Set the indicator "Auto sourcing".

Create a requirement for material NG_SUB_Assy1, eg. create a PIR in MD61.
Run MRP by MD01N.
Check the result of MD04 for assembly 1. A subcontracting PR from vendor 100982 is created in plant 0001:
Check the result of MD04 for assembly 2. In MRP area 0001-SUB, a subcontracting requirement from vendor 100982 is created and a subcontracting PR from vendor 100983 is created.
Check the result of MD04 for subcontracting component.
In MRP area 0001-SUB2, a subcontracting requirement from vendor 100983 is created and a stock transfer reservation is created.
In plant MRP area 0001, a PR is created for the stock transfer reservation.
