Order as Direct material with result of reservation document

[paul_hew]

Hi All,

Currently, the client requirement is to active the "Direct Material" button during the shopping cart creation to differentiate between Direct and Indirect material purchase.

As I understand to active the button, we need to active "Extended Classic Scenario" to have "Direct Material" button. But they would like to have reservation document to be created after Shopping cart is approved and this is conflict with setting as only classic scenario to allow reservation document to be created.

Please share your idea.

This is my thought.

(1) Ext Classic with "Direct Material" button and use badi to change the document to reservation? Which Badi?

(2) Stay with Classic and control certain product category to have always resevervation document.

Rgds,

The 'order as direct material' is active by default only.

You don't need to activate ECS for this.

You can control the same by BBP_DP_PROD_CHK_BADI.

Only thing whenever you will create a SC for direct matl,

SRM will try to create the follow-on locally only & not in ECC.

So creating reservation via SC direct matl line item will not be easy.

May be you can try to control the follow field

BBP_PDIGP-SUBTYPE

in BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI

& then use BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW

2. this option would be easy if business allows you reservarion for certain matl grps
