• Message class: AD_SUBCON - Messages for Subcontracting

• Message number: 100

• Message text: MPI & for material & not allowed because Subcontracting ind. not set

What causes this issue?

In a PM/CS order, you use external operations with the
<LS>Subcontracting</> indicator. For one or more components, you have
set the material provision indicator (MPI) to <LS>Rework Material to
Subcontrator</> or <LS>Rework Material from Subcontractor</>. During
maintenance of the PM/CS order, if you clear the <LS>Subcontracting</>
indicator, you cannot use the MPI. The MPI must be blank.

System Response

You cannot save the PM/CS order.

How to fix this error?

Use the <LS>Subcontracting </>indicator to mark the external operation
of the PM/CS order as a subcontracting operation.
For all components in the order, ensure that the MPI is <ZH>not </>set.
Remove the <LS>Subcontracting</> indicator.
