Requirement type determination in sale order

[Former Member]

Hi,

As I understand, requirement type in sale order is determined firstly by strategy group in MRP 3 View and lastly by Item category

My case is as below:

1. Sale made on 13.04 using Doc type ZDBB

ZDBB assigned to Item Catg ZBUI and ZBUI is assigned to Req Type ZWBS

Material ABC in the sale order is assigned to Strategy group 10 which is assigned to Req Type KSL

However, The Req type populated in the sale order was ZWBS, which is what we wanted

2. Customer is returning the same material ABC on 19.04

Return order is made w.r.f to billing document...

Sales Doc type used is ZDRE...

ZDRE is assigned to Item catg REN and REN is assigned to Req Type ZWBS

However, this time the Req Type in the return sale order is KSL which is not we want....

I tried removing the Strategy group from material master and then create the Return Order... In this case it correctly picks the Req Type as ZWBS

To sum up, in the return order, the Req Type is getting determined from the MRP view where as the original sales order took it from Item Category assignment... I am unable to fix this out... Any suggestions?

Hi Ajay

This is because for your item category REN and for the corresponding MRP type for this material. the origin of Requirement type must be maintained as 0 ( material master staregy, then item category and MRP type. Change this to 1 ( item category and MRP type.)

That is, requirement type determination can be either through material master startegy group or from item category and MRp type,

This is controlled in SPRO> sales & distribution>Basic functions>Availability check and trasnfer of requirements>determination of requirement types using transaction.

Make the change here it will determine accordingly.
