Purchase Requisitin not automatically created at the network level

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are facing an issue in the CJ20N

Project- WBS- Network Order- Activity- Materials are attached to it

For ex- Material number 23 is added to the network as per the business process the Purchase requistion will automatically get created.

Now we are facing an issue.

When we add the same material to the activity, the purchase requistion is not created auotmatically, we are not able to view the purchasing data tab.

The moment we add this material, it's stating reservation for network.

Previously it was showing up as purchase requistion for network.

Please help us in knowing what could be the possible reason for this behaviour.

Hi,

Probably the activity was released in first case and not in second. Please check parameter 'Res./Purc. req.' on 'Proc. Param' tab of material component, the value here controls when PR will be generated. Hope that helps.

check the item category for the material that you are assigning to the activity.if n system should automatically creates pr for network. if l system generates the reservation automatically.

Hi Vengaiah,

MRP View is maintained for the material where the PR needs to be created.

Hi,

If stock exists in your storage location. then systems create the reservation. Please check your inventory. Then run MRP all reservations will be converted to Pr's if there is no stock.(assuming that material item category L). IF you want directly to create a PR then take the stock as Item category N.

Thanking you

Hi

Check your material master data for ICG, Procurment type and ICI indicators. If some thing was set wrongly, then correct those errors in master data. Delete the material which was sitting on network and re-enter sytem automatically creates Preq.

As per your thread, ICG in mater data might have set for NORM and ICI indicator must 2.

@Vengaiah: Item category N or L, system cteates Preq that depends on how you set up your material master data.

If IC=N, then it must be designated as a dropship item and not as a stock item and you master data must be ICG/Procurment type/Indicative collector indicator - BANS/F/1!

Hello,

Thank you for all the answers,

I would need additional info from your end to moveahead with theprocess.

One thing we have observed is when we select a material and try to add it again, the procurement will automatically getting picked up as WE. and we can see the reservation in General data tab.

One more observation initially under the procurement parameters, under the value flow and /quantity flow.

intially it was showing up as 1, now it's showing up as Q

Please let me know where are these configuration done, since i am very new to PS module.

Hi

Procurement Indicator is defined in OPS8 and assigned to network profile in OPUU.

This indicator governs how requirement will be treated.

Hello Shrikanth,

I checked for the settings, for the network profile "WE" is the procurement indicator which is assigned. is this creating a problem

Hi,

I guess so. "WE" is causing problems for you. WE stands for Reservation Plant stock. Do one thing. Do not maintain any procurement indicator in the network profile in transaction OPUU. When you attach a material to the activity in CJ20N system will pop up a window. Here you can choose the way in which the material needs to be handled.

Try this out and revert.
