Sales Order Type and Requirement Type link in Config ?? Where and How ?

[maruthi_ram]

Hi

When i have created 2 sales orders one of OR type and with FD type in Development server, the sales orders are picking the requirement type as KEB for both.

But when i created the same sales orders in the Production server(test), For OR-Sales Order,the requirement type KEB is getting picked up. and for FD-Sales Order, the requirement type KSV is picked up.

Why is it picking up differently and where would be the setting ?

This is impacting on the G/L account picked in the PO.

(KEB: Individual customer purchase order, KSV: Sales order with consumption)

Kindly guide me ASAP

Hi Maruthi,

on how the requirement type is determine in the sales order is all dependent on the strategy which is set / assign in the material master. probably you could use the steps below to identify the reasn why you are seeing different requirement types.

Steps to check.

1. Define Strategy Group

From the material master identify the strategy group which is used, sometimes

this can also be a strategy (stand alone)

Menu Path:

IMG > Production > Production Planning > Demand Management > Planned Independent Requirements > Planning Strategy > Define Strategy Group.

2. Define Strategy

Comments same as point 1.

Menu Path:

IMG > Production > Production Planning > Demand Management > Planned Independent Requirements > Planning Strategy > Define Strategy

Double click on the strategy you can actually identify the requirement type whihc is assign

on to the sales order.

Hope the above steps able to answer why as to the inconsistency in the assignment of the

requirement type in both systems.

Regards

Ken

Hi Ken

I have checked all steps as you said...Strategy and Strategy Group.

But all are same in both the systems. Is there any other loop-hole ??

Kindly advice me

hi there,

In the standard system, requirements types are determined according to a specific search strategy with 6 steps beginning with the material strategy group.

Strategy for Determining the Requirements Type

1. First, an attempt is made to find a requirements type using the strategy group in the material master.

2. If the strategy group has not been maintained, the system will determine it using the MRP group

3. If the MRP group has not been defined, the system uses the material type instead of the MRP group when accessing the corresponding control tables.

4. If no requirements type is found here, the system assumes a special rule and attempts to find a requirements type with the aid of the item category and the MRP type.

5. If this is not possible, a last attempt is made to find a requirements type with the item category only

6. If the last attempt fails, the system declares the transaction as not relevant for the availability check or transfer of requirements.

with warm regards,

mich
