Dear All ,

In my project i am using external activity ,when i was trying to release the external activity, system takes activity qty as a mandatory field ,i have not touched the fields status but it's shows as a mandatery.if i fill the qty and unit then system allows me to release the external activity but in the PR system it create one more line item with out having any material. As per client requirement activity qyt is not mandatory and with out material system is not creating the line item. Please suggest me.

To generate PR while releasing, Qty in external activity is mandatory. If you need only material planning in project then go with internal activity.

Hi,

external processing activity is another type of service procurement where you can proceed without any specification/service master, If you want tocreate PR only with service switch on the "service" option on Ext.Processing activity don't use Ext. processing activity.

still you can stop creating PR upon releasing if you put "Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition" in to never, this is appearing on Procurement Param. tab of ext.Proc.activity

Hope this would help you.
