Res./purc.req.

[Former Member]

Hi,

When material is assigned to activity in CRTD status, Res./purc.req field on proc. parameter tab of component is set to 'Immediately' as per the customisation. But when activity status is set to REL. this field changes to 'Never'. Can you please let me know what could be the reason behind this?

Other details maintained : tem category is N, Acct. assign.cat N, Consumption V, Movement type -281.

Thanks,

set it as "2" and make this field as display only.

check user status: OK02, this might be the reason.

check network profile: Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition

In n/w profile this indicator is set to '2' (From release) but while assigning material user manually sets it to 3 so that PR/Reservation is created immediately after assigning. But when activity is released it is set to '1' (Never).

I simulated your scenario, but for me it remains in "immediately" only even after releasing activity. What is your system release?

Kuldeep,

We do have setting in our status profile which forbids generating PR while activity has certain user status.

Ahmed,

Even I simulated scenario in my Pre-prod system. When material is assigned to an activity in CRTD status and if I change Res./Purc. req. filed from '2' (Release), which is bydefault from network profile, to '3' (Immediately), it throws error message as expected and reset it to '2'. After assigning material, if I release activity this field is set to '3' (immediately). Not sure how it is set to '1' (Neve) for user in Production system.

My system release is 4.6C.

Thanks,

Further to above, this issue is not reported earlier, if I look at previously assigned materials. This is faced recently for few of the networks.

May be you should check the support package level of your production server and pre-production. Recently, your Basis might have updated the support package level, just check and compare. Also, search for OSS notes.

Thanks, will check and revert if any further help is needed with this.

Hi,

I could replicate this issue in my system. When activity is in CRTD status, if you assign material (on component overview screen) with requirement qty 0 (other details are filled up i.e. Plant, Item category, base unit), it will change Res./Purc/ Req. indicator from 2 (From release) to 1(Never). Activity can't be released until requirement qty is filled up and hence PR can not be generated. This is expected behaviour of SAP.

Second example :

Activity in CRTD status, material is assigned to activity with fields Plant, Item category and Base unit maintained and Requirement qty field not maintained. Now, go to detailed screen of material, maintain qty and other data under tab Purchasing data and then enter. If you go to component overview screen now, Res./ Purch. Req. is set from '2' to '1'.

Any idea, why in second scenario this field changes from '2' to '1'?

Thanks,

In both scenario by putting 0 (case 1 ) or blank (case 2 ) in Requirement qty field. So indirectly system understand that quantity is not specified and for to create Pr quantity is requried. So, some standard validation takes precedence and Res./ Purch. Req. is set from '2' to '1'.

I thknk you have already answered the same.

Case 1 is understood that Res./Purc. Req. is set from '2' to '1'.

But in case 2, don't maintain req. qty in component overview screen, go detail screen of material and maintain the same. Still it changes field from '2' to '1'.
