Materials available only for Purchase requisition creation

Hi Experts,
My client wants some materials available only for Purchase requisition creation and some materials donu2019t want available only for Purchase requisition creation.
How we can control
Thanks in advance,
Chandhu

1) Solve your issue first you have to bifurcate between the materials where requisition is possible & where not...u can do this by selecting some field which is not in use presently in material master-basic data view & maintain some unique value for those materials for which PR will be not possible....otherwise check whether you can bifurcate it through material groups or not...
After this take help of your ABAP person and implement BAdI::ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST...here use the logic that after user enters the material code in PR system will check in the background what has been maintained in the said field in the basic data view of the material...if found blank then it will allow the user process further or if found any data in that field then system will stop the user from processing the same by throwing some customized error message.
2) Use the Plant-sp.matl status in purchasing view as Blocked for procment/whse for those material against which you don't want to create any PR.But this will be plant specific and both PR & PO will get blocked.

Problem in Purchase Requisition Creation

Dear Experts:
We are facing a problem while purchase requisition creation. We have created an Internal order No. 600406 and an Asset in Company Code AB01 but while creation of Purchase Requisition level when we are selection that Order and Asset in Purchase Requisition system automatically changing my Order no. 600020 instead of 600406. I've checked OKB9 where Order no. maintained as 600020 against Company code AB01 which I deleted and save but after that Purchase requisition asking for Order Number that means we have to maintain Order number in OKB9. Now can you please advise how can we get my current order number in requisition instead of any default number.
Thanks in advance and your kind suggestion is highly appreciated.
Best Regards.

No Subcontracting Purchase requisition creation

Hello everybody,
I have a strange system behavior : the external purchase requisition creation at Production order type level (AFVG-AUDISP) is set to "3", so I want that the system always create automatically the related purchase requisition.
It randomly happens that certain number of production order are created without purchase requisitions, and into the external operation the system "automatically" move the external purchase requisition creation to "1".
Looking into the OSS notes I found the note 1493286, unfortunately there is inside just a workaround and I am not able to reproduce the behavior.
I know that the value "1" is placed because the system is not able to create the Purch Req, but I am not able to find the real reasons in order to remove them.
We are speaking about "kanban" order creation... is there someone that had similar problems ?
Could you please help me ?
Thanks
Salvatore Testa

Creating (ME51N) is not changing, hence you dont have change documents in CDHDR and CDPOS.
And the table EBAN just has a creation date, but not creation time.
SAP is probably the opinion that the creation time of a requistion is not needed for an ERP process.
(Adding a new item to an existing requisition is a change and will update CDHDR)

Purchase Requisition Creation From Release

Dear PM Gurus,
For Manual material availability Check to work before release, the Purchase Requisition check is to be set to Immediately in SPRO-> Define Change Docs and Collective PR or Activating Pr from Now On from Maintenance Order. The issue is that I want to restrict the creation of Purchase Requisition to Release of Maintenance Order but what is happening is upon saving the Maintenance Order, the PRs for all non stock materials are created and I also want the manual availability check to work before release.
Simplifying above details:
I want Manual material availability check to work and PR generation from release both in my Maintenance Order to work..
Regards..

Hi DP Singh,
I had seen the configuration settings that you are telling me but you see the Problem is:
If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/PReq Indicator as Immediately, then the Manual Material Availability Check would work accurately but upon saving the Order, System would generate the Purchase Requisition.
and If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/Preq Indicator as From Release, then the Manual Material Availability Check would not work as no material is as such MRP relevant till the time of releasing the Order but the Purchase Requisition would be created only when the Order is released.
Now What I want is both the Manual Availability Check to work and Purchase Requisition Creation From Release, but this is not possible according to the Standard SAP System. A workaround could be that I configure the automatic material availability upon release and configure the Res/Preq indicator as From Release, that way the material availability would be checked when the order is released and Purchase Requisitions would also be created from Release but still the Manual Availability Check would not work.
The Ideal Solution should have been configuring the Res/Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Non Stock Materials to be From Release and the Res/ Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Stock Materials to be Immediately. This way your manual availability Check would work for all Stock Materials and Purchase Requisition for all Non Stock materials would only be created upon Release. But this But still this is an ideal solution not the actual solution for standard SAP does not give you the flexibility to do such a setting in customizing or using Enhancement.
The Work Around Solution given by SAP is as follows: The system provides the following workaround:
After you change the indicator for materials planning-relevance to
"immediately" you can execute the availability check as required. You must
not save the order or network.

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.
But I have Pur Rq created with ref to 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.

Purchase requisition creation (STO) from Sales order

Hi Gurus,
Read the following scenario:
Sales order is created with delivery plant A. No stock on plant A.
Purchase requisition is created from plant B to plant A (intra-company flow or stock transfer order).
Problem is that the purchase requisition needs a price. It is not logical because intra-company flow (stock transfer in same company flow) is like a stock transfer without purchasing. So in my mind, I don't have to maintain price.
Also if I use ME27 to create manually STO between both plants, price is not asked.
Other question is: is it possible to create directly a purchase order when sales order creation (and not purchase requisition, newt convert into PO)?
Many thanks.
Stéphane

Hi Stéphane Vituret, Did you manage to find a solution for this. I have a similar problem as well.
Please find the scenario below.
Cusotmer places order of Mat-XX to Company A. The Company A creates PO to Company B. Company B delivers to Company A and then invoices Company A. Company A receives the goods into own stocks. Now the Company A delivers to the customer from its own stocks and then invoices Customer.
I decide to go ahead with the Individual Purchase order solution and since the Company A is buying from Comapny B, I decided to integrate the Cross Company STO flow in the procurement part. Hence the flow in SAP is like;
Cusotmer placese order to Company A
Comapny A creates a Individual Purchase order type Sales order. So the Item category is TAB.
This sales order generates a PR. PR is conveted into a CC_STO as thenvendor is Plant B in this case . Now this STO appears in the delivery due list of plant B.
Now I genreate the delivery to move stocks from plant B(of co.cd B) to Plant A(of co.cd A).
Here is the problem. I am not able to do PGI as the system checks for "sales order" stock at plant B and throws error
"Sales order stock 36637 000010 does not exist". This should not be the case as the stocks should get attached to the sales order only when recieved into Plant A. Hence system should not check for "sales order stock" at plantB while trying to deliver from Plant B to Plant A.
Lets take a normal IPO scenario.
CusotmerA places order of Mat-A to Company A. This sales order generates a PR. The Company A converts the PR into a std.PO to external vendor. The PO from the sales order will have a account assignment "M- Ind. cust. w/o KD-CO". The stocks will be received into Plant with spl indicator "E" while GR (MIGO). Now the system ensures that this stock can only be delivered against the particular sales order. Thus the stock procured for the customerA is delivered to customerA and not consumed by anybody else. In this case there is only one delivery involved, in SAP, which is 601 mvmt type from the Plant A.
However if the vendor becomes another Plant (Plant B) belonging to another company code then there are two deliveries involved in the SAP system one with mvmt type 643, from Plant B to Pant A, and the second with 601 from Plant A to the customer. Hence the system should check if the stocks are attached with a spl indicator only during the second delivery of 601 mvmt type. I am facing a problem because the system does it for the first delivery itself. If you know the answer please do let me know. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance.

Item category determination during Purchase Requisition creation from APO

Im creating a SNP Purchase Requisition in APO and when it is published to R/3, a Purchase Requisition document is created in R/3.
When this PR is created in R/3, I want the Item Category to be determined based on the Material master Special Procurement Type. ( eg: Id like the Item category to be L if the Material master Special Procurement Type = 30 (Subcontracting) ). But by standard, this field is coming as Blank and this field could only be populated during the creation from APO.
I found a user exit ( CIFPUR02 : Enhancement of Purchase Order Interface (Inbound) ) on R/3 where I tried to populate the Item Category, but when I do this, all the purchase order related data is getting deleted and hence no PRs are getting created in R/3.
Could anyone please tell me if this could be resolved using configuration and if not any tips to do this technically would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi Karun,
This is the code i'm using...
select single * from marc into lit_marc
where matnr = c_eban-matnr
and    werks = c_eban-werks.
append lit_marc.
read table lit_marc with key matnr = c_eban-matnr
                             werks = c_eban-werks
                             sobsl = 30.
if sy-subrc = 0.
c_eban-pstyp = '3'.
endif.
Here sobsl = 30 is the Special procurement type
But when i try to populate c_eban-pstyp = '3', during the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3, in the program SAPLEMPI -> LMEPIF01
this condition is encountered which deletes all the data in the tables that is used to create Purchase requisitions.
<i>* get rsnum in the case of subcontracting
      IF XEBAN-PSTYP EQ PSTYP-LOHN AND                      "RB240999
         EXITFLAG_ORDID IS INITIAL.                         "RB240999
refresh all component tables
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_COMPONENTS_REFRESH'
             EXCEPTIONS
                  OTHERS = 1.</i>
Could you please suggest me anything to get around this.
Thanks,

Automatic Purchase Requisition Creation in MRP run

Hi,
1. I create a Sales Order for quantity 20 of main material MAT which has two sub-components - COMP1 and COMP2. The plant in which this sales order is being created does not have any stock quantitiy of the material or its sub-components. For quantity 20 of the main material, quantities required of the sub-components are 40 and 60 respectively.
2. I run MRP using transaction MD03 for the sub-components. This created purchase requisitions for the sub-components automatically. But, I see that the system creates only one purchase requisition of quantity 40 for COMP1 but two purchase requisitions for COMP2 each having quantity 60.
Can you please tell me why is the system creating two purchase requisitions for COMP2?
Thank you,
Helpful answers will be immediately rewarded!

Hi Janakiraman,
I compared the parameters - Safety stock, Lotsize, Maximum Lot Size, Reorder point - between the two components but found all the values to be same.
The only difference I found in the parameter values was...
For COMP2 (the one for which 2 PRs were generated) 'Special Procurement' field was blank
For COMP1 this field had the value 4A which means "STO from X101 plant"
Do you have any idea what could be the reason?
Thank you.

Purchase Requisition creation time?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to see at what time was a Purchase requisition created?
There is the creation date in EBAN table (EBAN-BADAT), but i need to know the creation time as well.
Many thanks,
Marc

Hi,
I'm sure creations are stored in CDHDR and CDPOS tables (CDHDR-CHANGE_IND=I) but I can not find out how to enter the table for the purchase requisitions. For Purchase Orders I can enter both tables with CDHDR-OBJECTID=PO number but this doesn't work for Purchase requisitions.
On the other hand, in me53n in environment-item changes, the creation data is not stored.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Marc

Purchase requisition creation date ...

Our auditor want to know the creation date of purchase requisition ,
i have check table CDHDR ... using Object value <PR NUMBER> and using BANF, it only display change history only ... where can i find creation date of PR ?

Hi,
It is incorrect that CDHDR is only used for PO. It is used for all purchasing document changes.
Hi,
The creation date of PR is seen in EBAN-BADAT field.
Cheers,

Purchase Requisition creation through Planned Order

Hi All,
While converting Planned Order (which is generated after MRP run) to Purchase Requisition, we need the two fields Purchase Organization (EKORG) and Tracking Number (BEDNR) to be mandatory. Right now EKORG is appearing when we convert PR, but it is not mandatory. BEDNR is not appearing at all. We want it to appear and to be mandatory.
Please give your inputs.
Thanks
Ramakanth

Th tracking number would have to flow in automatically or you should populate it manually after you generate your PREQ.
You can try making these fields mandatory in settings under SPRO>> MM>>Purchasing>> Pur. Req. "Define Screen Layout at Document Level" for transactions ME51, 52 and ME51N, 52N.
That should help you atleast when you decide to change something on teh PREQ
