Which of the following are features of a subcontracting procurement process? Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AYou can customize the control parameters for the subcontracting item category.
• BYou can have subcontracting purchase requisitions created by MRP.
• CYou can maintain the components to be provided in a bill of material.
• DYou can assign a subcontracting order item to an account.
• EYou can post a non-valuated goods receipt for a subcontracting order item.

• A
  9% (2)
• B
  74% (17)
• E
  17% (4)

Explanation

In SAP subcontracting, MRP can automatically generate purchase requisitions for externally processed items (B), the components you supply to the vendor are defined in a Bill of Material linked to the subcontracting item (C), and account assignment is fully supported on subcontracting order items to allow cost tracking (D) - these three capabilities are core to how subcontracting is managed in SAP MM.

Option A is wrong because the subcontracting item category (L) has fixed, predefined control parameters in the system; end users cannot freely customize them the way the option implies.

Option E is wrong because the goods receipt for a subcontracting order is always valuated - it triggers an accounting document to capture the value of the finished product received and the components consumed. Non-valuated GR is not applicable here.

Memory tip: Remember the acronym "BMA" - BOM for components, MRP for planning, Account assignment for costs. These are the three pillars of subcontracting procurement, and they map directly to options C, B, and D respectively.
