Purchase Requisition are not getting generated for External Procured Materi

[Former Member]

Hello PP Guru,

The is a issue which the client is facing.

The requirement is as follows

There is material which is externally procured.

They do the MRP run by using MDBT.

Now the problem is Planned orders are getiing generated instead of Purchase requisition.

It should always generate PR instead of planned Order.

When the check in ME57 the PR is not reflecting, but when the check in MD16 the planned orders are getting reflected.

Every time they have to convert the Planned order to Purchase Requisition in MD16.

So can you please let me know as to why is this problem.

Thanks & Regards

Nilesh

In the variant which you use in MDBT, modify the value for Create purchase req. to 1. Now if you execute MRP with the new / modified variant system will always trigger PR irrespective of the opening period.

But if you want PR within opening period & outside of it should be planned orders, then maintain 2.

Hi,

Also check material procurement type it should be F(external procurement) so it will generate purchase requisition.

Dear Nilesh,

In MDBT select Variant name and go to variant tab,

and maintain 1 (Create Purchase Req.) in Create purchase req. instead of 3 (Create Planed Order)

then check

and revert back.
