Component item category "N" - Stock

[Former Member]

Hi,

We use item category "N" and procurement type Purchase Requisition for Network" for materials components.

Sometimes, once we have assigned the component to an activity we realize there is available stock in a storage location, what means we do not need to purchase the component. What should we do in this cases? We should change the procurement type?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

If items are avilable on plant - make a reservation (reservation for network) & get issue to project.

if those are in project stocks, make a reservation(reservation for WBS) to respective WBS & get issue it.

Hi,

Standard SAP doesnot check what we require (check Plant stock before raising PR) in this case.

You can make use of the "Res/PR" indicator. Set it to "From Release", add your components & before releasing the parent activity, you can cross check for the available stock & change the material component line items accordingly.

there are also some threads available on the same topic.
