Hi experts,
We are working for an upstream oil client on their logistics support structure to their offshore platforms. Therefore I have some questions related to SAP IS-OIL RLM and its material movement processing.
1) Non stock items
Non stock materials are used for the scenarios where material are not held in stock and are purchased to the supplier to be consumed directly on the offshore platforms. PR's are created based on work-orders and materials delivered and goods received onshore prior to being sent offshore. I would like to know if it is possible to generate an outbound delivery for these materials in order to send them offshore, since there seems to be some trouble in processing the goods issue for non-stocks.
2) Goods return from offshore
Offshore locations do not store material stock, since materials are delivered based on purchase requisitions generated from work-orders. In some situations (excess quantity was requested, material is damaged, etc) the materials are returned to the onshore location. However it seems to be some issues in processing the goods return from offshore to onshore after the material has been used in the work-order, so I would like to know if it is possible to process RLM returns in this scenario.
Does anyone have some insights about this?
Any answers will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Bruno
