Procurement Types Problem in network.

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am facing a problem in network activities.

Recently we have copied the development server to quality server.

I am now checking the scenarios in Quality server, I have created projected and created network. In network I mentioned the activities, for Act1 I am entering the material requirement in material component view, I mentioned the material numberXXXXXX, quantity 5 and the item category as L, here usually a pop use to come to choose the following options

1. Reserv for netwok

2. Resrv. WBS element

3. PReq + Res - WBS elem

4. Prelim. PReq - WBS elem

5. 3rd Party req. WBS elem.

here we use to choose option 1 or 2 or 3.

Pop up is not coming in Quality server, inspite of that the procurement type is directly taking as Reservation for network.

I have created a project in development server n its working properly there.

I have checked the cutomization settings in Development server and Quality server for material procurement settings, the settings are same in both the servers.

I am worried why the pop up is not coming.

Please help me out in this regard as we are nearing to Go Live.

Thanks and Regards,

hi,

Please check in material master of the material. In MRP 4 tab in Individual/coll. box, check the entry whether it is 1 or 2. If it is 2 then while attaching the material system will not ask you any option and will directly take procurement type as 'Reservation for network'

If it is 1 then it will ask the option which you desire.

Hi,

Check your material master. Compare urs material master used in Quality and u r using in Production. Check all the entries from basic to accounting.

Hi Abhinay Gautam,

Thanks for your reply,

I have checked both the material master in Development and Quality as well. There is no difference in between them.

But still the problem exists.

Can you please through some other lights on this,

Hi Hemant,

Thanks for your reply.

Firstly I havnt understood ur point, I am not maintaing any procurement indicator in network activity, but procurement indicator is maintianed in material master MRP2 view as F external procurement.

But when I enter the material number, qty and item category as L the system immediately taking reservation to network in procurement type field and getting into gray color (uneditable).

Please suggest me on this issue.
