LOG_EAM_ROTSUB_2: Refurbishment and Subcontracting Integration (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Discrete Industries
and Mill Products (ECC-DIMP 605), business function Refurbishment and Subcontracting 2
(LOG_EAM_ROTSUB_2), you can now use refurbishment orders in the subcontracting process.
Until now, an integrated refurbishment process, that is, one that integrates refurbishment orders
with subcontracting purchase requisitions and subcontracting purchase orders, was not
supported. Now, to enable a business process in which internal and external repair tasks can be
combined if necessary, the refurbishment order has been enhanced. The refurbishment order
corresponds to the standard maintenance order type PM04.
o The Subcontracting indicator can now be set at external operation level for
refurbishment orders.
o Material provision indicator (MPI) for components of external and internal operations in
refurbishment orders has been enabled.
You can set the value of the MPI for components of external and internal operations in
refurbishment orders to one of the following values on the Component detail screen.
- Rework Material to Subcontractor (S)
- Rework Material from Subcontractor (X)
- Subcontracting (Provided to the subcontractor as consumables) (Initial in the SAP
standard system)
o Maintenance task lists with external operations in refurbishment orders are now
supported.
You can import maintenance task lists with external operations into refurbishment orders.
o Automatic creation of subcontracting purchase requisitions from refurbishment order with
serial numbers and with additional/consumable components.
- Later changes made to refurbishment orders are synchronized in the linked
subcontracting purchase requisition automatically and instantly.
- If the header part of the refurbishment order is serialized, and if serial number
information has been entered in the refurbishment header, it is copied into the
subcontracting purchasing requisition. It refers to the serial number list that can be
accessed from the order header screen, not the serial numbers that could
previously be entered on the Objects tab page in the A&D solution. This tab page
is no longer visible
- Component quantities can be changed during the process in the same way as a
normal refurbishment process.
- Valuation type and batch may change only in the last operation.
o Consistency checks have been introduced for reservation data in the partial
subcontracting scenario.
o In IW8W, the Delivery Completed indicator behaves differently in a refurbishment order
with partial subcontracting. In the standard, only one goods receipt is possible, while in
refurbishment orders with partial subcontracting, there can be multiple goods receipts for
internal and external processes. In both the standard and in the refurbishment order with
partial subcontracting scenario, the Final Delivery indicator and delivered quantity are
set in the refurbishment order.
In a refurbishment order with partial subcontracting, these values are only set upon the
last goods receipt (for an external or internal operation). During goods receipt, if the
Delivery Completed indicator is set, and the material and/or quantity of the goods
receipt differs from the material and/or quantity in the refurbishment order header, then
the header of the refurbishment order is updated with the new material and/or quantity of
 the goods receipt (updated with follow-on reservations and follow-on purchase
requisitions of external subcontracting processes; workflow is started).
If the Delivery Completed indicator is set, then no more goods receipts are possible for
this maintenance activity.
o There is a new posting for goods receipts for subcontracting operations in the
refurbishment order (goods movement 101, previously it was 262). When special stock is
used, no additional movement is necessary. When special stock is not used and the last
operation within the refurbishment order is an external subcontracting operation, the
additional goods movement 101 is posted to close the refurbishment order.
Effects on Customizing
The following new Business Add-Ins (BAdI) are available:
o BAdI Allow Serial No. Change for Subcon. Goods Receipt in Refurb Orders
BADI_ROTSUB_SERNO_CHG_AT_GR which you can use to allow serial
number changes for subcontracting goods receipts in refurbishment orders. You can
assign subcontracting operations to refurbishment orders. If the main rework item is
serialized, the subcontracting functions allow you to change the serial numbers upon
goods receipt. However, this means the serial numbers assigned to the refurbishment
order will no longer be consistent with the actual stock status of the serialized materials.
This may cause confusion when there are follow-on operations with movements for the
main rework material after the subcontracting operation that requires the serial number
assignment during the goods movements as well. This is not allowed by default by the
system so you can override this logic using this BAdI.
o BAdI Copy Customer-Specific Data to Purchase Requisition Text
BADI_DIAD_SUBCON_1 which you use to add further information to the item text
in the purchase requisition has been enhanced to handle refurbishment orders.
o BAdI Trigger Workflows During Unplanned Material Exchange
BADI_ROTSUB_WF which you can use to trigger workflows in a customer-specific
way in unplanned material exchange (UME) scenarios. The BAdI is called in the following
cases:
- If there is an unplanned material exchange for an item of a subcontracting
purchase order.
- If there is an unplanned material exchange at the goods receipt for a refurbishment
order which has got at least one external operation.

LOG_EAM_ROTSUB_2: Improvements to Conversion of Planned Order (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Discrete Industries
and Mill Products (ECC-DIMP 605), business function Refurbishment and Subcontracting 2
(LOG_EAM_ROTSUB_2), improvements have been made to the conversion of planned orders.
o Converting planned order to refurbishment order (MD04)
Spare parts can be repaired or refurbished in an inhouse workshop by creating a
refurbishment order. It was already possible to create a refurbishment order from the
stock requirement list. It has been enhanced so you can:
- Select serial numbers during the conversion and transfer them to the refurbishment
order.
Note, that you cannot transfer serial numbers to upgrade orders.
- Select stock information for a non-serialized part that is transferred to the
repairable part of the component.
There are new screen elements Stock and SerNo. on screen SAPLM61R (9000) .
o Converting planned order to purchase requisition for subcontracted repairs (MD14)
Spare parts can be repaired or refurbished by a subcontractor. The subcontracting
purchase requisition for a repair can already be used during the conversion. It has been
enhanced so you can:
- Select stock information for a non-serialized part that is transferred to the purchase
requisition document.
- Select serial numbers during the conversion and transfer them to the
subcontracting purchase requisition.
o Creating purchase requisitions from material requirements planning (MRP)
Now, subcontracting purchase requisitions for repair can now be created during the MRP
run.

Effects on Customizing
The new BAdI: Stock Information for converting planned orders BADI_ROTSUB_STOCK
is available

LOG_EAM_ROTSUB_2: Stock Determination in Maintenance Order (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Discrete Industries
and Mill Products (ECC-DIMP 605), business function Refurbishment and Subcontracting 2
(LOG_EAM_ROTSUB_2), new improved stock determination functions are available that allow
the planner to reexamine the stock situation between order creation and order release, if
necessary. Previously, the stock determination function worked only during the creation of the
maintenance or service order.
Effects on Existing Data
There is a new button Carry Out Stock Det. (BTN_STDE) on the Component Overview
screen.
Effects on Customizing
You must create a stock determination group and rule and stock determination strategies in
Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Maintenance and Service
Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Stock Determination in PM/CS Orders
-> Maintain Strategies for PM/CS Stock Determination.
