Creating Info Records for Chargeable Components

Use
When a billing clerk invoices a subcontractor for chargeable components, the system
reads the price from an info record. For this reason, you must create an info record that
specifies how much you want to charge the subcontractor.
The system also reads the component’s price from the info record when an accounts clerk
enters a deductible account payable. In addition, the system also needs to calculate input
tax, and for this purpose you have to enter a tax code in the info record.
For generic information about info records, see Purchasing Info Records (MM-PUR-
VM).
Prerequisites
You have activated the Subcontracting with Chargeable Components solution in
Customizing for Materials Management (MM), by choosing Inventory Management and
Physical Inventory → Subcontracting with Chargeable Components → Activate

(see step 2 below) will not be available.
Procedure

5. Save the info record.

Valuation of Chargeable Components

Use
One difference between chargeable and nonchargeable components is that when you
provide chargeable components to a subcontractor, they become their property of the
subcontractor.
Therefore, when a warehouseman posts a goods issue for chargeable components, the
system makes an accounting posting to record the decrease in your own stock of raw
materials and the increase in the stock provided to the vendor, for example:
Likewise, when the warehouseman posts a goods receipt for the subcontracting products
manufactured by the subcontractor, the system automatically makes an accounting
posting to reduce the stock provided to the vendor and increase your stock of
subcontracting products, for example:

How does the system know which G/L accounts to record the goods movements on? It
depends on which valuation class you have entered in the component’s material master
record in the Valuation Class for Special Stock at Vendor field.
Activities
Customizing
Make the settings in Customizing for Materials Management (MM), by choosing
Inventory Management and Physical Inventory → Subcontracting with Chargeable
Components → Valuation of Chargeable Components.
In these IMG activities, you set up the valuation classes you want to use and then
customize the system so that the Valuation Class for Special Stock at Vendor field
appears in the vendor master.
Master Data
Enter the valuation class in the component’s material master record, as described in
Creating Material Master Records for Chargeable Components.
