check the field relevant for MRP set the correct parameters for running MRP.
But PO cannot be created automatically after MRP run.

certain period you have two options.
1. Using firm zone - firms all orders within this period . Refer additional data screen of
the scheduling agreement at the vendor material level.
2. Planning time - all new orders outside of the planning time fence - refer MRP 1 view

Answer 1

hi,
I also like to add to your points, Auto PO indicator should also be set in Material Master in Purchasing view.
Source List is not mandatory... It only gives preferred vendors for the valid period.
If you set Source List indicator in Material Master, you need to check that indicator in SPRO for the plant also.
Please check and hope this will help.
Thanks & Regards,
