PR creation from External / Service Activity

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we are currently using External and Services activities.

The Service activity should generate a PR as soon as it's released whereas the External activity should never generate a PR.

I'm trying to link the "Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition" field with the "Control Key" :

Never create a PR <=> PS02

Create a PR from Release <=> PS04

Do you know if there is a way in Customizing do default the field depending on the Control Key? (I would like to avoid a validation rule...)

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Thibault

Hello,

If you never want ot generate the PR for external activity, then work is simple:

1) Change the control key PS02 in transaction OPSU and check the box "service".OR alternatively you can make new control key copying PS02 and abandon the use of original PS02 in your projects.

This will make sure that every time you are using PS02, it will always generate the service PR. Also in network profile settings(OPUU), maintain indicator "2" for Res/Pur Req.

Hope this solves your problem without using any validation !
