Coen,

I am sure there are some complexities that I am not seeing that are
driving you towards a complex solution; but we do a lot of inter-company
purchasing and when we have a part that is required by one plant and
made by another plant, we set the special procurement key indicating
which plant the material comes from or sometimes we use a source list
(the end result is the same). All demand from the requesting plant now
appears in the supplying plant. To them demand is demand and they don't
care where it goes. The exception to this is when the material being
ordered is different than the way it would be supplied to a customer.
This tends to happen with components that are partially finished. We
then need to create a new part number for the semi-finished component
and it is built for the order, or split from the standard during
manufacturing. If the supplying plant is using a reorder point system,
they might want to use "reorder point with external requirements" which
would allow them to make the ordering plants parts based on demand.

Hope this helps

Subject: [sap-log-mm] Buying IC where my PO appears at production plant
his MD04 in special stock segment



I would like set up following:
buying a MTS as intercompany process from production plant (my plant
does not make this particular item). At producing plant it is also MTS
so when savety stock is breached an planned order is MRP wise created.
Problem is that in planned order, you do not see that there is a part
requested by my PO. Using special stock segment would help since than
planned order would appear separately and production order is only for
my segment. But I do not want to use sales order segment since I do not
have sales order. What account assignment in my PO can I use in order to
have a special segment in MD04 on both plants, or at least in producing
plant. I could transfer stock once in my plant to normal unrestricted.
The problems is at producing plant that they do not know if it is for
their stock or a sister company. IC proces: PO with producing plant as
vendor. We ship using VL10D using PO for outbound (producing plant) and
inbound (buying plant).
Any idea's or proven solutions are welcome.
