Fix indicator in manually created P-Reqs

[Former Member]

Hi

P-Reqs created manually from a planning book shows the fix indicator set at both destination location and the Source location.

P-Reqs created from a Receipt view shows the Fix indicator set only at the destination. The indicator is blank at the supplying plant.

Is this a standard feature ? why does it behave so ?

P.S : - I have checked with all possible combinations of "No Fix Indicator " set in product master at both source and destination location... the behaviour is same as described above.

Hi Joe,

A receipt element of an order can be firmed for procurement planning.

This PP-firming of the receipt element can be triggered manually by the

user or automatically by the system. The system cannot change a

PP-firmed receipt.

Therefore, the system cannot change the receipt quantity or delete the

receipt, even if the requirements have changed. However, you can

manually change a PP-firmed receipt or undo the PP-firming under

specific circumstances.

The receipts in an external procurement order with several schedule lines

are always PP-firmed. You cannot undo the PP-firming.

Hi Senthil

I guess you misunderstood my question.

I was not asking the meaning of PP-Firmed.

The question is

When i create a manual Purchase requistion ( to another plant ) from a change mode of planning book, I see the fix indicator set in both the order categories ( at the destination plant and at the source plant ).

But when i create a manual Purchase requisition from the change mode of Receipts view ( /sapapo/rrp4), then i see the fix indicator ( in hte planning book ) set only in the destination order. and not in the source plant's order category.

Is this a standard behaviour ? if yes why such different indicators when the same P-Reqs is created from a different alternative.
