Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement whereby I need to manage some third party materials in our delivery process that we do not keep in stock in our plant. Please help as I'm new to MM.

Questions:
How can I setup up these materials correctly? Once setup, how can I run post goods issue in the delivery process for 3rd party materials which I do not have stock for in the plant?

Scenario:
Customer will create sales orders in a web application which will then send the orders back to SAP via "Orders05-inbound"...

We create delivery docs automatically.

We use PGI step in delivery process to trigger an IDOC sending the delivery information back to the web application which will then perform:
1. Updates on the sales order 2.send comms to the customer. 3. Request payment for goods.

In the current setup I need to run PGI for every sales order in order to update the webapp. Especially when the orders only contain the third party materials and none of the standard stocked materials in the plant.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks
Rob
