Posting a Subsequent Adjustment

Use

Correction of Goods Receipt Posting for a Subcontract Order

After the subcontractor (as vendor) delivered the ordered material (end product), you posted the
goods receipt to the subcontract order. The system determined the necessary components for each
purchase order item and created for each component a goods issue item with the quantity that was
determined in the purchase order (see
Enter Goods Receipt for Subcontract Order
).
If the vendor informs you after these postings that a greater or smaller quantity of the subcontracting
components was actually consumed than planned in the purchase order, you must post a
subsequent adjustment to correct the component consumption.
If the component is a by-product, you must post the corrected by-product receipt (excess receipt) or
by-product issue (short receipt) (see
By-Products in Subcontracting
).

Features

Return of Subcontracting Components

When subcontracting components are returned (under-consumption), the system checks that the
quantity returned is not larger than the quantity originally transferred to the subcontractor. However,
this check only takes place at material and plant level.

Return of Subcontracting Components with Batch Management Requirement and Split

Valuation

If, when creating a subcontracting order, you have already specified which batch of the
subcontracting components is to be delivered to the subcontractor (see
Subcontract Order with Batch
Numbers
), the specified batch is offered as the default value in both consumption posting as well as
in subsequent adjustment.
When the subcontracting components with batch management requirement or split valuation are
returned, the system does
not
check the quantity returned at batch level. This may cause stocks to
be shifted from one batch to another or, in the case of split valuation, the material prices to shift.

 Note
The specification of a batch is not checked by the system, there is only a default value. There is
no quantity check at batch level.
Subsequent Adjustment for Purchase Order

If subsequent adjustment has to be made for components with regard to a purchase order after
goods receipt, you can specify the relevant finished batch for the components that are additionally
withdrawn so as to ensure clear assignment in this case too.
You can choose the
Batch
tab page for the item of the finished batch.All batches for which a goods
receipt has already been posted against the PO are displayed to you via the input help.You can
choose the relevant finished batch and thus directly assign to it the component batches for which
over- or under-consumption is to be posted. This ensures that the clear assignment of component
batches and finished batches is updated in the batch where-used list even in the case of subsequent
adjustment.
(See also the Batch Management documentation
Multibatch Evaluation: Outsourced Manufacturing
).

Activities
In the transaction for goods movements
MIGO,
choose the business operation
Subsequent
Adjustment
from the list box. The system automatically chooses
Purchase Order
as the reference
document. Enter the document number of the purchase order and the item number for which you
want to post a subsequent adjustment.
For the selected item, enter the difference quantity specified by the vendor and use the
Underconsumption/Short Receipt
indicator to specify whether a receipt or an issue is concerned. If
you set the indicator, it is an under-consumption or short receipt. If you do not set the indicator, it is
an over-consumption or excess receipt.
Post the subsequent adjustment.
The system corrects the specified quantities of the originally posted goods receipt by the adjustment
quantities.
