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!

Use of type libraries and custom data types in TestStand 3.1

Consider the following example in CVI 7.0:
#include <cvidef.h>
typedef struct
    int                         t_err;
    unsigned int                err_flags;
    int                         err_code;
    char                        err_msg[1024];
} TEST_ERROR;
int DLLEXPORT DLLSTDCALL   NfctConnect (int iPortType, int iComPort, int iBaudRate, TEST_ERROR * tstError);
I want to call this function from TestStand 3.1 using the CVI Standard Adapter.
I created a function panel from the header file then I generated a DLL that contains the type library as an embedded resource. Using OLE/COM object viewer I can confirm that the definitions are correct. In TestStand however, all basic types are recognized but the structure is rejected as not being a TestStand type.
However, a C structure is supposed to be assimilated as a container in TestStand. Do I have to manually create a custom data type in TestStand to match my C structure or TestStand can automatically create the container based on the information in the type library (because this information is available it won't be difficult for TestStand to do this automatically)?

Hi Spoli,
At the current time the only adapter that gives you the option to
automatically create a container for a given parameter is the LabVIEW
adapter. In your case you will need to manually create the container
that matches your C struct. I apologize for the inconvenience.
One thing you can do to see this feature in future versions is make a Product Suggestion on our website. Our R&D engineers are always looking for good feedback.
Have a good one Spoli,

F:convertNumber with type="percent" and value of type double.

I got a problem: when trying to use f:convertNumber with type "percent" to convert number of type double I get wrong number. ex.:
Actual number is 5, but I get 500,00% instead of 5,00%
Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Sorry.
Just realized, that according to java.text.DecimalFormat value is multiplied by 100.

Quota special procurement as BLANK

I want to create(upload using custom tool) a quota for external procurement where i want to use procurement as F and Special procurement key as BLANK, but when i create a record it takes SPK as "U"- Stock Transfer automatically . In the setup suppliers for demand plant are internal plant vendors in another company codes. When i delete the that U and save it manually then it allows blank SPK and works fine. any pointers...

Hi,
I thought the person who questioned is asking about the field quota arrangement usage indicator in MMR . sorry for the same . and yess LSMW can be done . In normal MEQ1 screen once you gave the valid to date and come to item overview screen for the SPK system gives a blank .
what is the custom tool which is being built by you a BAPI being called in ?

Special procurement type in Quota Arrangement

Dear Guru,

Thanks

You have to maintian inthe MEQ1.

SPECIAL PROCUREMENT TYPES

Dear Experts,
1.*Is it necessary to maintain a source list if we maintain a special procurement type*
2. and also why we maintain a special procurement type?

1. No. There's no direct connection between source list and special procurement type. Source list can serve as list of possible / allowed suppliers (you can set in customizing or in material master that buyers should be able to procure goods only from suppiers that are on your source list) in procurement and through source list you can achive that a default vendor may be assigned to purchase requisistions generated by MRP.
2. Procurement key and special procurement key defines how the material should behave from procurement point of view / in planning process / etc.
Procurement key says you want to procure the goods externally (buy) or internally (produce). Special procurement key is a kind of "fine tune". E.g.
F-10 > externally procured, but via consignment process
F-30 > externally procured, but via subcontracting
F-40 > externally procured, but via STO
E-50 > phantom assy (plays techniacal role in the BOM)

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,,

Special Procurement and In-House Production on the same plant?

Hi All,
There is a Plant A and Plant B. Plant A makes its own stock of material Z and sometimes gets it from Plant B as well through STO. For such cases where a plant gets stock from another stock, we have a special procurement type configured with the supplying plant. Now in material Z's master record (Plant A) I need in-house (E) and external (F) both WITH special procurement type. So I used X (both) and special procurement type. I got a warning that F is required. Saved it. Now when I enter a PIR on Plant A and run MRP, it directly made an STPO for Plant B instead of scheduling production at Plant A itself. There is no fixed criteria except capacity, Iguess. How can I solve this?
Thanks.

Hi Bilal,
There are lot of information about this Quota arrangement in the web, in help.sap.com, in SCN community and many other places on the Internet.
According to the rules of engagement, you should search before asking:
The SCN Rules of Engagement
I put SAP Quota arrangement in google and here you have links with screenshots, documentation, etc..all about quota. E.g.:
Configure Quota Arrangement in SAP MM
Quota Arrangements - Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP) - SAP Library
Your post will be rejected by the moderator if you don't follow this rules.
So please try with Quota and if that resolves your issue, please close this thread. If you have specific doubts about the Quota, you can open a thread, but try to find the response by your own before posting.

Movement Type and Special Stock in Reservation

Hi,
I had created a Repair Order and via this Repair Order, system automatically created Service Order also.
I had entered a component (Spare Part) in the Service Order. Upon saving System created a Reservation with Movement Type 261 and Special Stock E. As a result, during Service Confirmation, System is looking for Sale Order Stock of the component too. But here, the component will be available in Unrestricted Stock.
How do I get just movement type 261 without the Special Stock indicator in the above scenario ?
Thanks for help.
Raj

Hi Thyagarajan,
The Reservation was for the Subcomponent of the Product that I entered in the 'Component Overview'.
The Component Overview had
Item 000 for the Main Item by default and 'Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition = Never'
Item 0010, I entered the Subcomponent and 'Procurement Type (text) = Reservation for sales order' and 'Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition = Immediately'
Movement Type in the 'Component Detail General Data' is 261 with Special Stock = E in the 'Value flow/Quantity Flow' section.
I do not want E here as the Subcomponent will be consumed from Unrestricted Stock.
Anything that I missed out ?
Thanks.
Raj

Special Procurement MRP View VS. Costing View

Hi Experts,
What's the difference between the 2 Special Procurement Key in the MRP veiw and the Costing View? Should they always be the same?
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
MRP:
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.
Costing:
If you enter a special procurement type in the Costing view of the material master record, it will be used in costing.
If you do not enter a special procurement type in the costing view of the material master record, the system will use the special procurement type in the MRP view.
For further Clarification revert.

Mrp for Special procurement-40

Hi PP Expert,
I am working on one senario, Having 2 plants, A and B. Procurement type-E (PlantA) , Special procurement-40,Stock transfer (proc.from alter.plant).(Plant B)
Mate- X is in both plant.
Raw matere require for prod. are in B .i.e.Y, Z.
I have carried out MRP on plant level ( A ) , becz requirement comes in plant A. But there are no changes in raw materials which are in B.
Can u suggest the suitable ans.
Thanks....
Nitu.

Hi Nitu,
After you run MRP for plant - A, you need to run MRP for plant - B, that is when the procurement proposals are created in plant B for mtls - Y & Z if stock is not sufficient to meet the need.
Hope that answers your question.

Special Procurement using External Procurement & Subcontracting

Hello everyone!
We currently have a material that is set up as "F" Procurement Type (External) with Special Procurement Type "30" (Subcontracting). We have active scheduling agreements for subcontracting procurement of this material. User also needs to be able to create scheduling agreements for this material where the special procurement type will be "20" (External) to be able to purchase directly from a different vendor.
We know that we can only assign one special procurement method (i.e. subcontract (L)) to a special procurement type for MRP. Therefore, my challenge to all of you is to help me find a way to procure as an external part . Is there a process which will allow this?
I am trying to create new sched. agreements but the system is validating the procurement type we settled for the material as type 30. We know that we can modify the message to a "w" type, but actually i there any problem expect if we doing it? It is that all that we have to do?
Any help will be appreciate it .

In this case, you should look at only keeping Procurement type as "F" and Special procurement key as "blank" which give you the flexibility to do both, subcontracting as well as direct procurement.
Also is your MRP run resulting in schedule lines being created in the scheduling agreement?
