Users are not able to create POs from PRs having Production Order (F)

Hi Gurus

Users are not able to create POs from PRs having Production Order (F) as creation indicator.

Whenever we are trying to convert the PR to PO we are getting the error message "Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat. >&<" based on the below OSS# 938154 condition for the creation indicator type F.

Would you please investigate and advise what OSS notes are required to be able to use item category L (subcontracting) on a PO for a requisition generated from a network activity via Procurement Type = "Preliminary requisition for WBS element".

Thanks,

Sada.

Is the user changing item category while creating PO? If this is the case, this is not allowed for PR comming with F account assignment. You can check Note 938154 for details.

Hi Ajay & Andra

Whenever we are trying to convert the PR to PO we are getting the error message "Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat. >&<" based on the below OSS# 938154 condition for the creation indicator type Production order (F).

Our Business requirement as shown below.

1).The problem - we currently have no way to "direct requisition" an item to be procured via subcontracting - only itu2019s possible via MRP.

2).These behaviors are inconsistent as the requisition process should not impact the procurement process. Can we find a way to influence the creation indicator on the requisition so that it does not appear as a production order?

Please suggest any alternate method for achieving this.

Thanks & Regards
