Dear Friend's,

Can is it possible to make procurement indicator field mandatory while planning material in project builder at material component overview screen.Because i have to enter 3 different procurement indicator's. (PReq + Reservation for WBS Element / Reservation for WBS Element / Reservation for plant stock)

Also i have checked in config. for Define Field Selection for components (Tcodes - OIPSMDMAT / OIPSMKMAT). There is no such field available.

Thanks & Regards,

Sandeep Theurkar

do not maintain any procurement indicator in the network profile system will ask you to maintain one while doing material planning.

Hi Abdul,

Thanx.

I have not maintained procurement indicator in network profile, but it dosen't solve the problem.

While material planning in project builder I have to use 3 procurement indicators, here user can just by entering item category L system proceeds further and creates reservation for the network for any material. To avoid this i wanted procurement indicator field should be mandatory.

In Define Field Selection for Component you can have various fields, related to Detailed View for Materials & Material Overview except procurement indicator. So how I can make this field as a mandatory field.

Thanks & Regards,

Sandeep

May be you can check the option putting a validation on network activity.

I may not be completely clear with your desired requirement, however I believe that you need to check your material component settings - how your material master in MRP4 view is defined to take individual/collective requirement , how is your procurement key (X, E or F) defined in MRP 2 view , strategy group, Mixed MRP in MRP 3 view , project definition settings - does your project allows project stock management (valuated or non-valuated) or BOM settings if used BOM transfer CN33. All these come in play together for a user to choose appropiate procurement type to be used for stock items (L) when assigning to an activity.

For example: Project definition if allowed for a valuated stock

- Reservation for network implies MRP 4 is marked u2018collective stocku2019 (2) / plant stock

- Reservation for network / Reservation for WBS together implies MRP 4 is marked u2013 u2018individual/collective stocku2019 ( )

- Reservation for WBS implies that MRP 4 is marked u2013 u2018individual stocku2019 (1)

Please let me know if of any help

Thanks,

Hi,

It can be made mandatory only via Screen Variant.

Hi Krisap,

I have checked by creating screen variant but not possible. Effect of this, system treats complete procurement indicator column as a mandatory.

For example i have planned 2 material with relevant procurement indicator. then below line items or rows are mandatory for the field procurement indicator.

Is there any other alternative?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Yes. Screen Variant unconditionally makes the field mandatory. Check the exit "CNEX0009".

May be you can install EHP3 or EHP4 and check the option in SPRO > Project System > Material > Procurement > Define field selection for component.

Hi Krisap,

I have checked user exit CNEX0009 with the help of abaper which is not useful.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Abdul,

Already we are on EHP 3

Also I have checked SPRO > Project System > Material > Procurement > Define field selection for component. There is no such field available.

Thanx & Regards,

Hi Sandeep,

Since procurement indicator helps to default frequently used combinations of settings in material planning... so may be you can default these settings as mandatory field in OIPSMDMAT and try...

I hope by this users will learn using proper procurement indicator...

(record cj20n in SDH0 is not that easy)

tnx.

Abdul
