How to overwrite material settings for special procurement key

Hei experts,

I have several materials the are sometimes bought as subcontracting and sometimes just bought as a finished part.

In the material master, I have the special procurement type 30 maintained and this works fine for the sub-contracting case, I get the BOM explosion and subcontracting reqs when I run MRP.

But what am I going to do to be able to just buy the top material of the BOM from a vendor? I am not able to change the special procurement key in the network and if I run MRP, I will get pr reqs for all materials in the BOM

Any suggestions?

Hi,

You need to decide, whether the material is sub contracted or procuring from the vendor. If at all you need the flexibility, then you need to go for different material numbers only to get this flexibility. One no for sub contracting, another no is procured from vendor.
