Third party - Purchase Requisition not generating automatically

[Former Member]

I have maintained order type, item category and account assignment category in schedule lines but still Purchase requisition is not generating automatically. customer is having enough credit limit.

Hi,

There must be some field value missing in the PR. As Jurean said please check the note 210793.

Taking in o consideration that your order is not credit blocked.

Alternatively you may try and figure what is actually missing in the (THP) PR by creating it manually. Try out with the same material and the PO org details which you are expecting to be populated while it creates the PR automatically.

Remember to put the Account assignment and the item cat in PR as in the THP PR its different from the normal one (standard).

You will able to figure out what is exactly missing or what data is going wrong.

Hello Prabhu,

Please check Item category group BANS and Item category TAS

And also in Material Master Purchasing tab Autom. PO should be marked

Hi, Please maintain the info and source list for the material you are using for third party order. may be system is not finding the required details needed to create automatic purchas requisition.

Hi two more things you can check :

1) Settings of schedule line category

a) The Purchase Requistion (PR) document type.

b) Also you need to specify the relevant "Account assignment category"

c) Mention the item category type (Normally it is 5-Third party item)

The above settings will enable a PR to be triggered in background when a sales order is created and saved. PO will have to be created by referencing the PR and it will not be able to create P.O. automatically in standard third-party order process in SAP.

and

2) too basic but still check if number range for PR is maintained properly in MM. I have had faced same issue and PR was not generating because PR number range was missing.

Thanks.

What message it was showing ?

Some times because of credit block also system will not generate, since you mentioned customer has enough credit limit,

In your case check system might not be generating the PR because of credit limit block,

Even though customer has enough credit limit system will block the following situations.

In OVA8

1. Critical fields

2. Open items

3. Oldest open items

4. Next review date etc.

Thanks,

Srinu.

OSS note 210793 - Third-party item does not create purch.requisition explains 4 reasons why a requistion is not created for a third-party order

[srinu_s1]

Is the sales order in credit block status?

Hi Prabhu,

For generating automatic PR in third party process, you need to do following setting:

Sales Doc Type- OR        Item Category – TAS    Schedule line Category- CS

Billing type- F2    

In Material Master (MM01)      Industry Sector- Retail    Material Type- HAWA (Trading Goods)

Item Category Group- BANS 

Controls

Schedule line category- CS

In Schedule line category Order type should be “NB” stands for “purchase requisition standard”

Item category should be “5” which is a “third party item” 

Account Assignment Category should be “1” which stands for third Party.

(This triggers the generation of purchase requisition automatically by the system)

Hope this will help you.
