PF will not create a reservation that can be seen by MRP because it defaults to Item Category N (non-stock). PF is used for direct procurement to a WBS.
To be visible to MRP it needs to be Item Category L (stock item)
Understood but in our system the item category was set up as L and not N. Also when I remove the check in the check box for PReq Network the system still creates a requisition immediately upon saving the project change. I guess my question should be; can procurement scenario PF (Purchase Requisition Special Stock) be set to function the same as PFS (reservation special stock) and be planned by MRP?
With those settings it should work. When you attach a component to a network activity the system asks what kind of reservation to create. Make sure you select "Reservation for WBS" only. This will create a reservation that MRP can act upon.
I thought it should work too but we have customizing (ABAP) added by Siemens so the scenario defaults based in Item category on the Sales 1 tab in the material master. It can be manually changed but sometimes Purchase Requisition Special Stock is chosen. I'm sure that the customizing is the issue.
