Hi Sasi,
Dependent requirement  -1500 Nos
OPen order                 -500 nos
Balance                        500 nos  during MRP run it will throw PR to convert into P.O.
It is giving message stating that the schedule date for the open P.O - 500 is on  Aug to reschedule in May.
It is perfect ,there is nothing Wrong.
It will not throw P.R for  1500 Nos , If you want P.R for  1500 nos ,close the P.O and rerun the MRP you will get 1500 nos
