Steps of Subcontracting Process in SAP
Let’s start with discussing the steps that are involved in the subcontracting process in
SAP. They are summarized below:
You order the end product using a subcontract order. The components that the
vendor needs to manufacture the end product are specified in the subcontract order.
The components are posted to the stock of materials provided to the vendor. The
components are then supplied to the vendor.
The vendor performs its service and delivers the ordered material (the end product).
The consumption of the components is posted.
If, after the goods receipt has been posted, the vendor informs you that a larger or
smaller quantity of the components was actually consumed than planned in the
purchase order, you must make an adjustment.
The vendor charges for his or her service. The invoice is posted.
