Material A is maintained in two plants 1000 and 2000. In MRP tab of material master of A for plant 1000 you set SPK as 40. Now, for any requirement if stock is not available in plant 1000 it will always create stock transfer requisition from plant 2000 and if stock is not available in 2000, when MRP is run in plant 2000 it will create a purchase requisition. But then you'll receive stock to 2000 and then transfer it to 1000.

If you Material A is BOM component there are some additional settings where in you can specify if it is phantom etc. Go to transaction code OMD9 you will get the idea.

Thank you for reply,

I have query that whether I have to set SPK as 40 for the material A in both the plants or only in 1000 plant? and Should these both the plants are assigned to one company code?

1) Imagine a scenario where in only plant 2000 is allowed to purchase, then in this case your supplying plant will be 2000 and receiving plant will be 1000. So you set SPK 40 for only plant 1000.

2) They don't have to be in the same company code.

Also, Is it necessary to do Activity "Define plant for cross-system goods flow" in SPRO for these plants? As shown in Screen Shot below

Hi,

Not required.

I think you got confused. What Alok meant is not define the plant in SAP in enterprise structure. It's defining the plant physically from business point of view, in other words it's "assuming" one plant is supplying/planning plant and one plant is receiving plant.

For a particular material if you assign special procurement key 40 for that plant (e.g. 1000) that plant becomes receiving plant and the plant mention in OMD9 for plant 1000 SPK 40, 2000 will become planning plant.

In the example below 0001 is receiving plant BP01 is planning/supplying plant.

Hi,

With special procurement key 40 you have to define two plants viz Planning plant and Issuing Plant.

You have to create the material in one plant and extend to other plant.

With special procurement key 40, the requirement is passed to the issuing plant. For example if you create a sales order in the planning plant and run MRP, then a planned order/purchase requisition is created automatically in the issuing plant based on the procurement type given in the material master in the issuing plant. Then you have to delever the stock from the issuing plant to planning plant with transaction VL10B and GR against Stock Transport Order in the planning plant.

Prerequisites

• • You have maintained a special procurement key for stock transfer in Customizing for MRP, in the IMG activity Define special procurement type and you have entered the delivering plant there.
  • You have assigned this special procurement key to the material in the material master of the receiving plant (MRP 2 view).
  • You have created a material master for the material in the issuing plant.
