Hi All,

Hi Rao,

I hope you have received sufficient answers from the team.

Reservation number you mean which is getting created at the back ground for both stock and non-stock components, irrespective of item category, system should not create the reservation number.

If this is the case, this is Standard SAP, i dont think you can restrict it,

Below referred from earlier post in SCN.

SAP Standard system creates a reservation number for every order created by default. You can check in the view VIAUFKS for any order which does not have a single component.

When you add any component to the order in the component tab, the reservation number and reservation item number is assigned to the component line item - The combination of both is the key which you can further see in the RESB table.

Whether this is a stock or a non stock item or a text material, a reservation number will get be available.

Hi,

Yes, check Material Procurement Indicator (OPS8) settings and do the changes accordingly. Its better to copy the standard one to new material procurement indicator.

Hi,

Tried but system is generating the reservation number and PR number.

My requirement is that "No reservation Number should be generated when i am assigning the Mat.Component.

Please suggest me on this...

The scenario is like this, i will procure Raw materials in Project and issue those materials to Production Order.

So to procure Raw materials in Project, I am assigning the Mat.Components to activities-->MRP-->PR-->PO-->GRN-->Issue against Order.

So in this scenario the reservations. which are created by system at the time of Mat.Components are not using anyway. So that is the reason i want to avoid creation of Reservations.

So please guide me on this.

Hi,

Not able to understand why system is issuing reservation in your case because I have also checked on my development client and its working fine. Anyways, I copied the standard one PEV into new one.

Could you please provide the screen shot of OPS8.

Hi,

Thank u for your replies...

Again i check with the std.one PEV, but system is generating PR in this time.

So please tell me is there any method to avoid creating Reservation/PR while adding the material component to the N/W Activiy.

Are you clear about what your requirement exactly is? You are posting contradictory statements in each of your posts.

Hi,

I agree with GokulKrishnan Pillai. Yes, you are posting contradictory statements. At first glance, even I also thought that you wanted to have just PR number and not reservation. So, I gave my solution in that way only. Now, you are asking how to avoid PR and Reservation while adding material component to N/W activity.

'

Anyways, if this is really what you need then change the "Res/Purc. Req" setting to "Never" in Network Profile (OPUU). You can directly handle it at the time of attaching material component to N/W Activity. There will be the same field "Res/Purc. Req". Now change it there to "Never". I think you have made it to "Immediately" as of now. In addition to this, keep relevant changes pertaining to OPS8 too.

Hi Gokul,

As per my requirement, system should not create any Reservation/PR at the time of BOM transfer.

It should be happen only after MRP run.

I think now you are clear about the scenario. So please tell me can we achieve this...

Hi,

BOM Transfer ..? Please ignore my latest solution. I again got confused because I thought you wanted to avoid PR and Reservation number while attaching material component to N/W Activity. Furthermore, I request you to use proper tag line while posting the query which is relevant to your problem. "Assigning material component to activity w/o reservation" is no way near to BOM transfer and forum members could not have understood it properly unless you would have posted it like you did it now.

I am wondering how system is issuing PR/Reservation at the time of BOM transfer because I hardly feel that CN33 does that. You must have got your PR/Reservation before BOM transfer i.e at the time of attaching material component to N/W activity.

Hi

Check OPS8 configuration and check the procurement indicator settings for stock item.Change them accordingly to work the way you want.

PS: Check in testing server.

Thanks
