In case Nestlé is also producing the product and subcontractor is used for excess demand:
Procurement type 'X'; no special procurement type (only in contract)
settings as normal
no contract
Standard Contract with another vendor from whom this material is purchased.
Material should be delivered to Subcontractor directly. This is reflected via Vendor assignment on the
delivery address of this item inclusive a flag indicating the vendor as Subcontractor. For this Vendor selection
the material has to have a MRP area with this vendor assigned to it (Configuration).

Material produced in Nestlé Factory and shipped to Subcontractor is assigned to these Transport Lane.
Material produced at Subcontractor and purchased back is assigned to these Transport Lane. The product
entry is created when CIFing the contract into APO.
as normal
3 Planning Execution
a) Created Forecast on Nestle Factory for product produced by Subcontractor will generate Purchase
requisitions with the link to the subcontracting contract (via transportation lane). These Purchase
Requisitions are carrying the BOM inside and generate via this dependent requirements for the raw /
packaging materials on R/3 side.
b) On the Subcontracting Location for the produced item there are automatically Planned Orders (PlOrd)
created, if not enough stock is on hand. The dependent element from the PReqs are 'PReqRel'.
c) On the Subcontracting Location the components of the produced item (due to the PPM on the vendor
location) are requested from the Nestlé Factory via Stock Transfer Reservation. The dependent
element from the Planned Orders are Subcontractor Requirements (SubReq).
d) If on the Nestlé Factory the component requested by the Subcontractor for his production is not
available Planned Orders to produce the semifinished product are automatically generated.
The Actual Stock & Requirements list shows for all materials also the stock on the Subcontractor site, if the
good movements are posted in the system. These stock positions are important for the MRP run, because
only in case of negative available stock at the subcontractor the Dependent Subcontractor Requirements are
shown as dublicates on the Nestlé factory and considered by the MRP run.
Quantities of dependent reqs can also be shown partially if stock at subcontractor site is not covering the
requirement completely.
Dependent Requirements with assigned Subcontractor and assigned external Vendor for packaging material
in case of purchase requisition that is purchased for the subcontractor (source of supply determined via
standard master data: contract in source list).
Dependent Requirements with assigned Subcontractor and Purchase Req with delivering plant / Vendor
number for packaging material that is purchased from another Nestlé factory (source of supply determined
via standard master data: stock transfer plant in source list).
The Purchase Requisition generated via MRP run shows the Supplying Plant and Purchase Organisation
from the source list entry. The item category is matching with the special proc. type for stock transfer 'U'.
The Purchase Requisition for stock transfer is here shown as Release Order for Stock Transfer Purchase
Requisition (PReqRel) with the receiving plant assigned. In case of negative available quantity the MRP run
generates here a standard purchase requisition to cover the requirement.

5.2 Comments
No direct transport lane from Z203 to Subcontractor as the related Stock Transfer Reservations created in
APO can not be CIFed to R/3; as Z203 is not carrying the BOM in this scenario, no Subcontractor
Requirement is created on this plant that can be picked up by ME2O transaction (the SubReq is created on
Z207 where the BOM in R/3 is existing component in BOM linked to Z207 instead of Z203).
(example of direct transport lane from Z203 to SU0100000004 for material 10000199)
Therefore the PReqs created between Z203 and the logical plant indicate that the delivery address has to be
changed to the Subcontracting one ( ideally plant has already this address and description).
A special procurement type for 'withdrawal from another plant' results for manufacturing in direct
consumption of this material from the other plant. As materials handling requires GR/GI and shipping
documents for material movements 'withdrawal from another plant' is no option.
This applies to all APO planned materials that are shipped from a location (where BOM in R/3 is not created
on) to the subcontractor.
Nevertheless it is possible to create in R/3 alternative BOMs and in APO matching PPMs.
R/3
APO
In order to target the planning run on different PPMs in APO a Quota Arrangement can be created
referencing both PPMs. The selected PPM can still not be changed in the planned orders itself.
This method of PPM creation should be used rather than creating manaully, as this is a pre-
requisite for the allocation of BoM components to the correct plants.
Master Recipe
Production Version
Purchasing Inforecord plant specific (otherwise field for production version does not exist)
8 Open Points
BOM re-explosion on Preq for the subcontracted item in R/3 changes the determined BOM always back into
the first alternative BOM in R/3 due to the sorting sequence of BOMs the first alternative is chosen.
In case of CIFing production versions to APO the re-explosion does not change BOM, even if version was
changed in inforecord inbetween.
When transport lane entry of type subcontracting created via CIFing of inforecord or contract gets blocked
the flag for type subcontracting is unticked on saving (in addition warning message that type should not be
changed). When entry is unblocked again, the flag is not set back. So the entry has to be deleted and
reCIFed, otherwise item categories in R/3 and APO do not match and result in CIF blockage.
This is a bug OSS message to be raised.
