Defaut Item Category 'U' coming in Purchase Requisition.

Hi,
I am trying to create a Stock PO from Purchase Requisition through MD04.
The purchase requisition has Item category "U" by default.
Hence, whenever I try to create a Stock PO it is giving an error. I can only create a STO for those purchase requisition.
Immediate help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sonal Sase.

Dear
Create MRP group in OPPR , In the MRP group go External procurement option - Scheduling/document type - Mention your stock PO type in Doc Type SPO column.
Now assign these MRP group to the material master (raw materials) in MRP-1 view. Now you run the MRP, convert the purchase req. to Purchase order, system will prompt the correct stock PO type.

No PReq Item Category for 3rd Party Order

Hello,
I am trying to set up the 3rd party process but having a problem with the item category in the generated purchase requisition.
I know that my sales order item has a schedule line category of CS. This should create a purchase requisition item with an item category of 5.
However, my requisition item is getting " ". I have checked the config and it looks ok.
Does anybody have any idea why the item category in my schedule line is not being picked up? The requisition item is getting the correct account assignment category.

Stuart, I don't have an answer to your question but am wondering if you could help me... I too am trying to set up 3rd party ordering.
Did you set up your material as a non-inventoried (DEIN) material? How did you handle the account assignment cat value in the purchase req? Mine is defaulting to "X"... do I have the option to change that?
Thanks in advance,
Deirdre

Purchase Requisition from CRM Service Order

Hello Everybody,
I am trying to create Purchase requisition from Service Order for Service(Material type DIEN) as well as Material (Material type HAWA). I have maintained all the necessary configuration in CRM as well as ECC, like in CRM, Logistic integration we maintained settings for Purchase requisition and in ECC we have maintained Document type and schema for the purchase requisition.
For information purpose, I have created Service Material in ECC as DIEN and item category group as LIES.
As soon as we save the Service Order in CRM with that item category, it should create Purchase requisition in ECC and the document flow in CRM should get activated.
Currently we are not able to create Purchase requisition in ECC.
Kindly let me know if theres any configuration settings missing in CRM as well as ECC or if note to be applied.
Best regards,
Anup Bansal

Item Category field

Hello to everyone,
is it possible to hide non used values from Item Category field in a purchase requisition?
Regards

What do you want to do?
If you want to hide a Item category column than you can do but i don't understand the non used value of item category field.
to hide the item category column
spro-mm-purchaisng-PR- Define Screen Layout at Document Level
here select the filed selection for ME51n and/or ME52N and remove the selection of item category field than it will not be avalible for these transaciton.
but it is not advisable becuase you might need to create reqs with item category

Document type and item category

Hi All,
I have created two document types in MM for creating Purchasing Requisition. One for material and for service and material. But when i am selecting service and material document type, the item category at item level is automatically converted to D(Service) even though i dont select any thing(material). I have not done any settings for iterm category based on document type. Pls let me know why i am facing this problem.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi Amit,
For both the document types (Material and service, service) the item category standard and service are assinged. I have checked in SPRO--->MM-->Purchasing->Purchase requisition-->Define document type--->Check Allowed item category assingment and Link purchase requisition document type.
Hi Raghavendra
If SAP standard service document type then we cant take material and can take service only for creating PR, but in my case i have created one document type and named it as service and for this document type i have assigned item category of service and standard. In this case it should allow me to create PR with standard item category, but its not allowing me to do so. Pls let me know how can i solve this issue.
Thanks,
Raju

Account assignement category for purchase requisition - error message

Hi All!
I created a new Item category in service order (IW31) "O" with the account assignment category "O". If I don't set the Consumption posting indicator to V for this category, when I set the account assignment category "O" to the purchase requisition in <i>Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-Maintenance and Service Processing-Maintenance and Service Orders-General Data-Define Account Assignment Category/Document Type for Purchase Requisitions</i>, I receive the message:
<b>"Acct. assign. cat. "O" for purchase req. does not exist.
Message no. CS 075"</b>
The client request is not to charge immediately for the goods receipt with the relevant costs the service order. The client wants to create the goods receipt in a storage location for the plant and then confirm the components and charge the costs after the component confirmation (movement type 261) - similar to stock material.
Any idea about what should I do?
Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
The problem is solved now. The cause was that the test requisition that I was making was satisfying more than one rules and hence I end dated the remaining rules which solved the problem.
Thanks!

Sales Order - Using Item Category 'TAB' - Individual Purchase Order

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' document/best practice, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
Is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition NB? I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration, changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer, then this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard.
When I perform the post Goods Issue 601 of Special Stock "E" - to the customer (once the stock has been received into the right plant), the system is not creating an Accounting/FI Document to relieve the inventory and charge cost of goods sold. I have reviewed automatic account assignment entries and these appear correct for 601 E. Are there special settings for special stock "E" that I need to consider.
If you cannot answer all of these questions, but can answer one of them, I am most interested in teh last question above.
Regards,
Sandra Miner

Hi Reazuddin,
What I don't understand is why:
if I don't create PO --> I can create Outobund Delivery in Individual Purchase Order but if I create PO (not MIGO) I cannot create OBD in IPO. (Note: in both cases I agree PGI is not possible)
The flowchart is: Sale Order (IPO) --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order (PO) --> MIGO (inbound delivery) --> MIRO (Vendor invoice verification) --> Outbound delivery ( delivery [OBD] + picking + posting[PGI]) --> Sales Invoice
As per your comments:
System will not stop you to create delivery, though you customize delivery item cat: as Check min qtty "0" - error message. because system checks for PGI qtty, but not the delivery qtty.
But then in the case I create Sale order (IPO) + PO (without MIGO) --> the system should not stop me executing Outbound Delivery. It should stop me only if I execute Posting goods issue. But actually in this case, the system is stopping me at outbound delivery.
I agree with Posting Goods Issue behaviour. It is logical in the following cases:
Only Sale order (IPO) created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created --> PGI is not possible
Sale Order (IPO) created + PO created + MIGO executed (inbound) --> PGI is possible.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

MRP - Single Purchase requisition for multiple Items

Hi
We have recently introduced MRP module in SAP .In some specific scaeanrios , we want to create a single Purchase Requisition for multiple items .Standard SAP generate different Purchase requisition for each item
Is there any way out

Sandeep,
This topic has been covered numerous times in this forum and in the MM forum. You evidently have not used the search feature. There are thousands of posts in these forums, and the search function will be very helpful for you in future questions.
To answer your question, No, nothing is available to make standard SAP MRP create Purchase requisitions for multiple items.
Most companies address this issue during the conversion of Purchase Requisitions to Purchase orders. During this process, you can add many items to a single purchase order.

Default Item category in PO

I have made a new document type for Sub contracting incase of PO creation.
How can I make the Item category L as a default value for that Documenet type, i.e As soon as I choose the document type as Sub- contracting in PO, the item category should have the value as L.

Hi,
First of all, there is not any such configuration setting in SAP which enables you to default automatically the item category ''L" when you select document type. Of course, you can restrict only item category "L" via configuration of your related PO document type (via IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Define Document Type). The only setting that you can be able to set a default item category "L" is throgh definition of special procurement key (via Transaction OMD9). Yet, this setting is a plant-specific which I don't really know whether it can meet your business requirements. Having said that you can still find some workaround solution which is completely subject to your purchase-to-order process. To be more specific, you should look into if -
1) The material requirement is always coming from purchase requisition;
2) If this is the case, then how was your PR generated? Manually? or via MRP run? or directly from work order? etc...
Cheers,

Item category "N" and "L"

Hi ,
In procurements related to projects i saw some document Item categary "N" for non stock material and item category "L" for stock material . But in standard SAP item category "N" is not their in both purchase order and purchase requisition documents and all know we use item category "L" for subcontracting purchase . Is this "N" and "L" only for PLM ?........Please let me know how can do project related in standard SAP.
RB

Dear Raghavendra,
As you said these item categories N , L are used in PM/PS modules and for N[Non stock ] material you would get PRs generated from these modules like from networks or WBS in case of PS or Maintenance orders in case of PM you would find these values . The item category is mentioned in the network activity or MO operation and that is copied to the PRs /reservations which are generated once we release the networks/MO etc. These are also used in BOMs also . Thus for non-stock material N you would get a PR and stock material L you would get a reservation generated in MM .

Sales Order - Using Item Category "TAB Individual PO" / convert PReq to PO

All,
I am configuring for the first time utilizing Sales Document Item category "TAB" - Individual Purchase Order. I have a few questions:
Is there a best practice/baseline package configuration guide specific for this process? I have found the 'third party' baseline package J54, but nothing so far on "individual purchase order from sales order'.
During Purchase Order Create from the Purchase Req. is there a way to default Purchase Order Type "UB" stock transfer from the Purchase Requisition type NB? Currently in my system, the PO type defaulting is NB and it needs to be UB. I thought this could be done based on the schedule line "CB" configuration (spro/SD/Sales/Sales Docs/Schedule Lines/Define Schedule Lines), changing the 'item category' to 7 stock transfer. Then, for the configuration setting spro/MM/Purchasig/Purchase Req/ Define Document Types, this would carry into the mapping for purchase requisition type NB/item category stock transfer to purchase order type UB/item category stock transfer. However, when I set '7' on the schedule line CB, I then receive a hard error when creating my purchase req to set the supplying plant. I have more than one supplying plant, so I'm not sure if setting the '7' for schedule line CB is the right setting for this process. From what I've been able to find for documentation, the item category of the schedule line should be set to '0' standard. My plan is to convert the PReq's into PO's in background, but I need to default the correct PO Type. Any help would be useful.

Multiple POs for Third Party Purchase Requisitions

Hi
I Created a Sale Order for Third Party Item Category (Two line items). It generated one Purchase Requisition and two line items. Now I want to convert these two line items in a PR into two Purchase Orders (ME59N). For One line item PO created successfully. For the Second PO I am getting the following error message.
User XXX (My ID) already processing Purchase Requisition XXXXX 00010.
What could be the root cause for this error?
Regards
Hari.

Hi Hari,
I think you are missing Note 1558299 on your system. Also Note 903884 might solve the problem although the description does not match.
1558299 ME21 does not set a lock on purchase requisition
903884 ME59N: Lock problems with subcontracting reqs from PP

Re: Purchase REquisition creation with ref to SAles Order

Hi All,
I need help on an issue.
I have sales order creation and when saving Purchase REq is created at the back end. But for the sales order for item category n schedule line category combination does not allow creation of Pur Req. n pur req no. is not dislayed in Sales order.

How is it possible.
In Pur req I checked the creation indiacotr, it is with ref to sales order.not manually.
Can you please help it out..
Regards,
Smitha

Hi,
Purchase Requisition creation from Sales Order is dependent on the configuration of Schedule line category not Item category. Check configuration of Schedule line category in VOV6.
Also to see the PR No in Sales Order, double click on the Sales line item and click on the "Purchase Requisition" button under "Schedule Lines" Tab.
