Procurement type X in SAP R/3

Hello Gurus,
We have an FG with Proc type X because it may be procured in both ways. (Repetitive manufacturing)
Scenario if today is Jan 27th and we hv Matl "A' with procurement type X, an MRP relevant Source list whose validity ends on Feb 15th . A production version whose validity begins from Feb 16th . MRP is run with ..NETCH ,3,3,1,1,3
Requirement situation is 10pcs on Jan 31st and 20 pcs on feb 19th. Stock is ZERO
Expectation is that If I run MRP today system should create Schedule lines for the Jan 31st requirement and create a Planned order for Jan 19th requiremnt............Which is not happening.
Instead system is creating planned orders for both requiremnts . No schedule lines were created for Jan 31st requirement.
Gurus, Is there any customizing setting to allow system to behave as an F and E type simultaneosly based on the SOurce list Valid-To date and production version Valid from date

Sap pp-Procurement type u2018Xu2019

What is use of Procurement type u2018Xu2019 in MRP2 screen, & how system plans if we enter this key and how it is affected or related
with MRP?

Hi Niranjan,
Procurement type "X" is used when the material can be produced in house as well as procured form outside source.
The system allows you to create production/process orders as well as the purchase order for this material. This come to use when you have to take a make or buy decision based on the economic quantity for inhouse production.
Also, cases where production capacity is limited and the demand is more you could go in for external procurement. Such materials need to have the flexibility of both inhoude production and external procurement.
Hope this answers your question.

Pradeep.

Procurement Type changed in PS

hi
I used procurement PFS (Third party requisition for WBS) and 3rd party
order. When I added the articles to network activity, a window will pop-up where I can enter the address (using address, customer or vendor).
The issue is when I cancel the address, Procurement type changed
to "Purchase Requisition for Network" and "3rd party order" check box
is unchecked.
Once both indicator changed, I can NOT go back and add or change
address.
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Create or add material to network activity (TCode CJ20n)
2. Procurement type is PFS and Item is non-stock material
3. window will pop-up to enter address or customer or vendor
4. Press Cancel to close the window WITHOUT entering address or
customer or vendor
Message: CN358 The component with lose its route character
Procurement type changed to "Purchase Requisition for Network" and "3rd
party order" check box is unchecked.
Regards,
Sri

Hi
If you are procuring the material via third party then the details needs to be filled in for customer / vendor , as this is standard SAP , and this is how the system will calculate for the customer/vendor postings in other modules and is required for the reporting purpose also. This would be already defined in the config , check the config settings.
Thanks ,

Procurement Type 'X' and Special Procurement Type

Hello all,
Need some advice over this topic.
Material with procurement type 'X' can either be procured externally or manufactured in-house. The problem is :
#1. If a special procurement type that corresponds to external procurement say for example '30' is set in Material master. I don't find an option to have this converted into a process/production order.
#2. Whereas If a special procurement type that corresponds to in-house production say for example '52' is set in the Material Master. I have almost every possible function's visible.
How do i get to the view process/production order for case 1 in the 'Additional Data for MRP Element' screen of MD04 ?
Please do help out.
Regards,
Rahul

Rahul,
Please re-read the SAP help related to special procurement key.
I know for sure the answer lies in there!
Here is what the F1 help says:
Use
You use special procurement when you want to be able to override the procurement type in the material master or define the procurement type more precisely.
If the procurement type is in-house, you can nevertheless force the system to ignore the BOM and routing, and process the material as if it were externally procured, by specifying the special procurement as external.
Now please check OMD9 configuration for the SP Keys that you are testing, it will be clear.
Good luck!

Special procurement type 40

Hai PP Gurus,
What is the function of SP type 40? Where it is used ?
Please put your valuable answers........
Thanks & regards,
S.ganeshraja

Ganesh,
If a material is always procured from another Plant, then we use Special Procurement Key "40" to do automatic planning so that after MRP run system creates requirement for the supplying plant and PR for the requried plant, when ever there is a demand at required plant.
You need to configure the special procurement key in transaction OMD9 for the required plant and here you assign the supplying plant with special procurment type as "U". This key you need to assign to the material master in MRP2 view in the required plant.
You can go through help for details<b>....<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/f4/7d2d5a44af11d182b40000e829fbfe/content.htm">SPK-40</a></b>

Procurement type

Hello,
In the material master, tab MRP2, there is a field called Procurement type. Anyone can tell me where is it setup in the IMG?
We have 4 types of procurement types (external, internal, both and none) and I would like to have a look.
I've been reading that this field is automatically filled with information from the material master type, which informs exactly about which kind of procurement you can use. Is it defined in "Logistics- General -->Material Master -->Basic Settings --> Material Types --> Define attributes of material types"? The only field that I've seen there that could be related is under internal/external purchase orders.
Any help? Thank you

What do you mean with BESKZ domain? I am quite new in SAP.
My problem is that I cannot select the blank, because procurement is a mandatory field and blank is not a good response to it. My intention was to change that "blank" for any other letter.
I've changed the external and internal orders in the material type to no purchase orders allowed and the result is not good enough.
Thank you for your quick answers

Special procurement type 70

Hi Experts
Below is my scenario:
Material A is existing in Plant 1000 and 2000,
Maintained MRP type PD in and procurement type 'F' at Plant 1000.
Same material maintained with MRP type VB, procurement type E, and spl. procurement type "70" at Plant 2000.
After running MRP for both the plants, It creates Planned order at both the plants.
Here are the issues:
1. why is it not creating PR at Plant 1000 since i have maintained Procurement type 'F' here?
2. Is it possbile to stop creation of Planned orders at Plant 2000, because we are always Procuring the materials at Plant 1000 and Transfer it to 2000 through 301 mvt type.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards
Bala

Hello Bala,
Please check the below prerequisite for strategy 70 for material
Prerequisites for strategy 70 (Planning at assembly level)
Strategy group 70 on the MRP screen.
Set the indicator for assembly planning, the Mixed MRP indicator, to 1 on the MRP screen.
Consumption parameters (Consumption mode, Bwd consumption, Fwd consumption on the MRP screen) to allow for consumption of planned independent requirements.
If you are using this strategy in a make-to-stock environment, you also must set the Individual/coll. indicatorto 2 on the MRP screen
For more detail information of strategy 70 check below link ,
Planning at Assembly Level (70) - Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) - SAP Library
I hope this information useful to you,,

Procurement type Vs Price Control

Dear All,
We are maintaining price control as V for procurement type F, and S for E.
Is there any possibility, for automatic change in price control when the changing the procurement type from F to E.
Regards,
Venkat.

Hello Venkat,
Price control is for Material master, but not for the procurement type. Once you set the price control in the material master (i.e. in Accounting view of the material master) system will calculate the stock value (i.e. for internal stock updation by value purpose) in the material master.
As you said, material price control is V (i.e. MAP): Moving average price.
And here,
F ---> an Account assignment of Customer Individual requirement
S --> Thirdparty Item category (i.e.TP is a type of procurement)
E --> an Account assignment for Order
It is not possible to change the price control automatically when you change the procurement type manually. Because the price control (i.e. V or S is possible) setup is done at Master data configuration (i.e. Material type configuration). But document (i.e. creation of PO) level it is not possible.
Suggestion: Changing the price control of a material master always is not advisable. Because there will be lot of impact on Inventory and as well as Finance. And moreover it is a configuration setup for material type (i.e. property of a material or material master) in sap. Hence it is not possible at document level.
Hope this will clarifies you,
Reward, if it helps,

Procurement type 'P'

Hello All,
What will be impact in the SNP planning if we have the Procurement type as 'P'.
And in which case do we maintain the value as 'P' ?
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi Siva,
By using Procurement Type "P" you indicate APO that this material is not to be planned. One scenario where it was quite useful is when you mark the material status in R/3 material master not be planned. Over the period, business may not need those materials to be planned, however to have the visibility of existing stocks they would like to have this material in the system (No deletion). In that case, they change the status in plant-matl filed of MRPview 1 (not sure), which when CIFed will change the material in APO with Procurement Type P.
SAP calls this as deactivation of materials
How can materials in SAP APO be deactivated again?
To indicate that a material is no longer relevant to SAP APO, you must first remove the material from all active integration models. To prevent further planning results being transmitted from SAP APO to SAP R/3 you must also set the procurement indicator (BESKZ) to P (Planned externally) for the location product in SAP APO. You can automate this process. For more information, see Logging Deactivated Material Masters.
You can also set the deletion flag in SAP R/3 and transfer this to SAP APO. When the material is no longer being used, you can also delete the material in SAP R/3 and the product in SAP APO.

Procurement Type - How to make selectable field

In standard SAP system, for material type ROH procurement type is defaulted (greyed out)
to "F", how to change to selectable field {to X/E}
Thanks

Hi
I am not sure about the Business requirement why you need to change the Procurement type for ROH from Standard F.There is one more option to make the Procurement type field active in MRP-2 view by doing the cust setting in the material type.
IMG Path > Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Types > Define Attributes of Material Types
Choose Material Type > ROH and Click on Details
In the next screen under Internal/External Purchase orders selection change the setting to Int. purchase orders as 1 from 0 and SAVE
Now create the material with ROH using MM01 > In the MRP-2 view the Procurement type field become active with Default value as X. Here we can change the P/ type as F manually

Procurement type u201CE (In-house production) u201D & u201CXu201D (Both procurement types)

Hi SAP Gurus,
What is the Deference between Procurement type u201CE (In-house production) u201D & u201CXu201D (Both procurement types)
Cause after MRP run in Both cases I come across same options.
With This Procurement type we can get plan order as well a Purchase requisition & all other option then what is the difference between E & X ?
Best Regards,
Parag.

Dear Parag,
This is flexibility given by SAP, suppose you have material which is produced in-house and procured from vendor also. In these cases the procurement type is kept X. The MRP will give planned order in case of X and you have liberty to create Production order and purchase requisition also. This you can verify in MD04 for X procured material.

MRP uses special procurement type L for material .ME174

Hi All:
   1 .When I tried to create PO for non-valued material using ME21N,SAP displayed message "MRP uses special procurement type L for material"- .ME174.
    (Non-vaued material is customized material type which has no accouting view and is supplyed by suupplyer for free.)
   2.I checked the material setting in MM03 finding that the Procurement type has been set as 'F' and the Special procurement has been set as '30'.
   3.I checked the SPRO finding that the setting as following path finding that Special procurement has been set as L.
    IMG > MM > Consumption-Based Planning > Master Data > Define Special Procurement Types
   So what other problem is with my setting or configuration for the creating PO?
Thanks.

Hi,
You may want to double check the customization entry for special procurement type 30. Do ensure you are checking for the correct plant and you have "L" maintained against special procurement in the details section.
If this doesn't help, a post in the MM forum - SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM) could help.

Sales Order- scheduling delivery date for Procurment type F

Hi Expert,
In material Master , in MRP 2 View mailtained data as 1. Procurment type- F, Plant Storage Loc- 1140, In-House Production- 21 days, GR - Processing time-1 days. But while creating sales order for this material it shows only one day difference in sheduling delivery date.
Thanks in advance.
Manoj

Hello
Procurement type F is for external production indicator
If you want to see a change in schedule accordingly, then maintain Planned Deliv. Time.
As per SAP, Planned Delivery Time in Days is Number of calendar days needed to obtain the material or service if it is procured externally. If you have different vendors for a material, you must specify an average value. The same applies if you order the material from a fixed vendor that has varying delivery times.
Or in sales doc type, maintain Lead time in days, this specify the number of days after the current date that the proposal for the requested delivery date in the sales document should be.
FYI - GR Processing Time, Goods Receipt Processing Time in Days is number of workdays required after receiving the material for inspection and placement into storage.
Thanks & Regards
