Hi,
Kindly follow the steps mentioned below, I hope it addresses your query.

Process Scenario & the BOM structure
Level 1: ZURP_PKG_LIQUID <Sales order received here>
Level 2: ZURP_LIQUID        < Forecast done here to plan lower level materials, this material is planned on the receipt of sale order at higher level>
Level 3: ZURP_RM_LIQUID  < Procured/Produced and kept in inventory>
Step no 1: OMP0  use Requirement class u2018103u2019 or create a copy u2018Z70u2019
Step no 2: OMP1  create a new requirement type u2018Z70u2019 and assign the Requirement class u2018103u2019 to it.
Step no 3: SPRO  define a new strategy u20187Tu2019 and assign requirement type u2018Z70u2019
Step 4: SPRO  create strategy group u20187Tu2019 & assign the strategy u20187Tu2019
Step 5: MM02 u2013 MRP3 view  Assign this strategy to material code ZURP_LIQUID at which forecast is done
In MRP4 view leave the individual/collective indicator blank
For Material ZURP_PKG_LIQUID  maintain strategy group as u201820u2019
For Material ZURP_RM_LIQUID  maintain strategy group as u201810u2019 & individual/collective indicator as u20182u2019
Step 6: MD61  Create Planned independent requirement for ZURP_LIQUID
Step 7: MD02  Execute MRP for ZURP_LIQUID
Note: Planned orders for ZURP_LIQUID are created, but they cannot be converted into Production order, but this triggers requirement down the line triggering procurement/production for material ZURP_RM_LIQUID
Step 8: VA01  Create a sales order for ZURP_PKG_LIQUID
            MD02  Execute MRP for ZURP_PKG_LIQUID
Note: The MRP run triggers the procurement proposal for ZURP_LIQUID, which can be converted to production order & simultaneously reduces the created PIR
