Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated

Hi:
I want to creat a new external activity，but the Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated. The Messagr No. is CN705.
I checked the network activity,I fount that the"Reservation/ Purchase Requisition" be setted option 2 ( From Release). I want this should be with option 3 (immediately).
I have checked network profile , the option 3 (immediately) is setted.
Is there any other place where we set this setting. Please share your valuable opinion.
Best Regards.

Hi,
If it is appearing in display mode only (It must be made to "display" only in SPRO at Field settings for Network) then it is not possible for the users to change it in the operative project. If you have made the changes in the Network profile for Pur.reqn. after the Project / NWA is created and released then create a fresh Network /activity and check.
Regards,
Bala.

Purchase requisition for service activity / element cannot be generated

Dear SAP MM Experts,
This is a service Creation from the PM order to Purchase Sercive Requisition.
The Error Message Is Generated :Purchase requisition for service activity / element cannot be generated
Diagnosis
Due to the system settings, the system is trying to generate a purchase
requisition for a service activity or a service activity element.
No service package has been created for the activity/element.
As a result, the system cannot generate a purchase requisition.
The activity/element is created or released, but the indicator for
generating a purchase requisition is not set.
Create a service package for the activity/element and then generate a
purchase requisition.

Plan cost for activity element

My internal activity can calculate plan cost from a workcenter properly , but while I append a activity element(internal) and add the same worcenter and data the activity element does not calculate plan cost , but if I confirm the activity element it gives actual cost.
What possibly be the problem could any one tell me? is there any setting seperately for activity element?

Hi
Thanks. I am using CJ20N and then selecting the activity element I am following the path edit>cost>Plan/actual
When I try to recaulutate the cost by edit>cost>update cost then I get generic error :
"Object was not costed
Message no. CK060
Diagnosis
The system could not find any entries that are relevant to costing.
System Response
The system did not cost the object.
Procedure
Check whether the following objects should be flagged as relevant to costing:
Items in the BOM
Display BOM
Operations in the routing
Control key in the routing
1. Look at the message log.
2. Check whether a quantity was specified in the confirmation."
But while calculate cost for an internal activity it is calculating cost.

MRP Generating Purchase Reqs for Materials Needed in 2013

Hi, all. We're running MRP and it's generating a massive amount of purchase requisitions (18,310 to be exact).
The following is a typical part setup:
Lot size = EX
Planned delivery time = 5 days
GR processing time = 2 days
Individual/collective requirements = 1
MRP profile = BTO
We have one existing sales order with a delivery date in 2014.
With a lead time of roughly a week, why is MRP generating purchase requisitions out into 2013 for this material??
Thanks!
Sarah

Sarah,
MRP Profile doesn't mean much to us, they are all created individually during each implementation, and they are all different. However, I will guess that BTO is some type of Make-to-order profile.
You mention 18K of PRs. Are these all being created in a single run, or is it possible that they may have been accumulating for a while? To find out, run MRP, but using the parameter for Planning mode 'Delete and Recreate planning data'. It will delete all the unfirmed PRs and then regenerate new ones based on the current situation. I will assume for the moment that all these 'future' PRs are unfirmed, please let me know if they are not.
Since it appears to be a MTO environment (if not, let me know) then you should be able to see in the planning segment which requirement (sales order) is driving the purchase reqs. Depending on your MRP type, this could give you understanding of why MRP is proposing so many PRs.
One thing that will generate a large number of purch reqs is an unrealistic value in Maximum Lot size (MRP1 page of material master). For instance, for a requirement of 1000 widgets, and a max lot size of , say, 2, it would generate 500 PRs for 2 widgets each.
If my suggestions don't help you, please specify MRP Type, Lot Size, max lot size, rounding value, Safety stock, reorder point, Strategy group, From these values we can begin to understand your problem a little better.

Purchase Req For STO -In Third Party Scenario

Hi
Use the following user exit to pass your required account assignment category to purchase requisition at the time of sales order creation.
USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_ME_REQ (include MV45AFZB)
With this user exit you can include additional fields for the following fields:
o EBAN (purchase requisition)
o EBKN (purchase requisition-account assignment)

Purchase Req for third party items on SO-where are required fields defined?

I have that issue where when a third party item is entered on a sales order, it goes on credit hold and when you release it, it tries to create a purch req but can't because of the required field - Val Price is not automatically filled in. I thought I could make the field not required by going to config and under purch
requistion>Define Screen layout at Doc level and changed the price and
unit option to optional instead of required but it still treats it like
a required entry. That config change only affected that field if creating a purch req from scratch, didn't affect if creating one from sales order third party item.
Thanks for any input!

Hi Mike,
Please contact to sd consultant regarding that.

Not possible to download purchased license for Photoshop Elements 11 on PC with Windows 8

I've no idea what to do now. I bought a Photoshop Elements 11 license and started downloading the Akamai installer program. In the instructions it says that Akamai will start downloading Photoshop Elements automatically but it didn't. I then tried downloading the two separate files and put them in the same folder, but when I double-click the program file I just get the message that the filing part of Ph. El. 11 is missing and that I must put them both in the same folder.
I've had bad experience from trying to downloading Adobe products in the past using a laptop with Windows 7 and now, having paid a substantial amount of money (for me, at least) and not being able to download the product is extremely frustrating. Please, if anyone knows how to solve this problem, I'd be so grateful ...

Hi Soracte,
Please try downloading the software from: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us .
In case of any issue try the direct download: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l .
Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.

Purchase request for stock material

Hi
when MRP runs, take all purchase request of all production order for STOCK material and aggregates all request together in one purchase order. In this way, I lost binding between purchase request and production order. Is there a way to make MRP not aggregating request but use different position for different purchase request in case of stock material?
regards
Gabriele

Gabriele,
MRP does not create purchase orders. I assume you are talking about the Purchase requisitions created by MRP.
In MTS by definition there is no 'binding' between supply elements (such as Purchase reqs) and demand elements (such as production order reservations). In MTS, all production is 'anonymous'.
You can cause MRP minimize the amount of aggregation of supply elements by changing lot size of the components to EX, and ensure that the 'individual/collective' indicator (MRP4) is not set to '2', but there is no way to guarantee a 1-to-1 relationship under all circumstances between mrp rqments and mrp supply (purchase requisitions)
Companies that have a business requirement to 'hard-link' supply to demand use MTO. If this is your requirement, it will never be completely satisfied with MTS.

How to copy Customer Sales Order number to Purchase Order for 3rd party sal

Hi experts,
We are doing third party sales. So once we create Customer Sales Orders manually via VA01, users also manually create Purchase Req for it.
We do not automatically create PR from Sales Order, as this is not my clients requirement. So we don't use item category group BANS in the material master.
In the item level in the PR under the Contact Person tab, the creation indicator shows "V Sales & distribution document". Once PR is created this updates the PR number under the item level Schedule lines in the Sales Order.
After PR creation, we run a job to create PO's.
But the new requirement from the client is to automate this PO creation thru EDI.
Our SAP is 4.6C & the Idoc type we use is ORDERS05 & Message Type is ORDERS. We are using EDIFACT std.
Once I get the idoc xml file for this PO, I find that my Customer PO number (from the Sales Order) & also the Customer Sales Order number is not copying to the xml output.
Please advise what needs to be done inorder to have it.
This will be great help & I will reward for the answers !

Purchase Req. Document type during MRP Run

Dear All,
My reqmt. is that whenever I take MRP run of external procured items, System should generate Purchase
Req. for a particular Document type let say ZPE.as I want to control the no. range.
One thing I fopund was control through OPPR(MRP Group Settings).I have assigned the relevant MRP gp. to materials also,but still after MRP run,system picks up std.(NB) Doc. type for Purchase Req.
Kindly advise whether Iam missing some settings.

if you want sytem to create our own type, u can create assigning MRP Group for your material.
Goto OPPR , Assign your PR Docuemnt type in under "stnd pur order" coloum in External Procurement option in OPPR for your plant/MRP group Combination.
i hope u already have created ZPE Pur requsition doc type

Purchase Req Release Reset After Addition of New Component in Service Order

Hello,
We have a scenario where we create a service order, add some operations, and then some components to the operations. Note that we are set up to use the same purchase req for all components so all components, regardless of operation, are on the same req.
We then release all lines on the purchase req and continue on to convert to purchase orders. In some cases, the PO's are then received.
Now, it is discovered that we need to add addtional components to the same service order so we do that. These new components are added to the original purchase req. Upon saving the service order, all of the previously released lines have reverted back to unreleased. Very frustrating since some of the req lines are already converted to purchase orders.
Note that the changability flag is set to 4 for our release indicator.
We are at a loss as to how to fix this. Anyt insights are appreciated.
Regards,
Greg

Hello All,
Thank you for your replies.
@Sebastien: We are using collective PR's. If we cannot solve, we will entertain individual PR's
@Maheswaran: It's MM from the PR perspective but since it is only happening when the PR's are tied to the service order, I asked here. We are releasing at the line level of the PR.
@Linganna: Are you talking about an enhancement to create individual PR's? That is taken care of in configuration, no?
Thanks again and regards,
Greg
