 Material Provision Indicator 

Use
You use the material provision indicator (MPI) to identify the subcontracting type of a
part. The following indicators are provided:
· Rework Material to Subcontractor (Value S in the SAPstandard system)
· Rework Material from Subcontractor (Value X in the SAPstandard system)
· Subcontracting(Provided to the subcontractor as consumables) (Initial in the
SAP standard system)
Apart from the values Subcontracting, Rework Material to Subcontractor; and
Rework Material from Subcontractor, you cannot use any other MPI provided on
component level of the maintenance order.

Integration
The material provision indicator is used in:
· Bills of material (BOMs)
· Task lists
· PM/CS orders
· Purchase requisitions
· Purchase orders

Example
The following scenarios are possible:
· Recursive repair
You send a part to the subcontractor, who returns it with the same material
number:
¡ You create the main part with MPI Rework Material to Subcontractor,
possibly with consumables.
¡ You do not have to create the returned part with MPI Rework Material
from Subcontractor.
· Planned material change (modification)

You send part A to the subcontractor, who returns part B. You have to create
two parts in the system:
¡ Part A with MPI Rework Material to Subcontractor
¡ Part B with MPI Rework Material from Subcontractor
If necessary, you have to create the parts with consumables. The requirement
quantity of part B should be negative, since it neutralizes the demand that
material requirements planning (MRP) creates for this part.
