Hi,

I need some guidance for the below scenario. This is in Baan Vc.

I have a Production Order, 1.. with 10 pieces on it.
At some operation I send it out for subcontracting. (Created a Purchase Order and the respective data is linked in the tdpur451 & tdpur402 tables).

Only 4 pieces came back from subcontracting.
When I recieve the 4 pieces from subcontracting, since its a partial, there is a back order created for that Pur ord line. A new sequence is created in the tdpur402 table. (session tisfc2410m000, helps a bit).

At this time, We create a brand new production order of 6 pieces, for the same item on Production Order 1. Then, We transfer 6/10th of material, labor and costs to the new prod order , # 2. All Quantities on the Order # 1 are adjusted to 4, including the planning. Estimated Quantities & the Planned Inv Qty is also adjusted. So.. at this point... the Order # 1, which started with 10 pieces... looks like it started with 4 pieces to begin with.
(The reason why we are doing this process of splitting... we'll get to that later :) )

Since, from the qty standpoint... I've received 4 from subcontracting and satisfied this order... this order can move on. The new order # 2, will wait till we receive the balance material of 6. The problem is, since the Purchase order is linked to the Prod Order #1, I cannot receive these subcontracted materials against the production order #2.
IF.. ahem :D , I change the Production Order number in the tdpur402 table, thru GTM, from 1 to 2 (old to new)... I can receive the balance Qty for the new production order. The system lets me do this. (I can close the order # 1 without any errors as well).

My concern is... Am I missing any other tables (in wh/td/ti) or am I messing up any data.
Please advice. Thanks

LittleJohn,
Logisticwise you should be ok, except one thing: production order #2 will create a separate purchase order anyway (the operation indicates subcontracting) or do you modify the routing in this case?
Financewise I'm not sure if those guys will hate or love you for this workaround :D .

By the way: you forgot to mention why you don't use the old production order until it is fulfilled completely - I'm just curiuos..

Good luck!

Hi,
I am not sure what will happen to any variances. Variances are booked only when order is complete, you may want to check that.

I think the variances will be booked correctly. Hmm, it seems to be a good work around, although I usually hate going through GTM to fix things. Very creative, Little John

Rgds,
