Individual Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Can anyone advise if the same material number can be setup for both individual purchase order and internally provided?

In individual PO scenario, we need to set the item cat, grp as 'BANC' and MRP group as '20'. This will allow us to create PR which can be converted into PO.

But if i set a material with item cat grp as 'NORM' and no MRP group in material master. During SO creation, i changed the item cat to 'TAB' to generate the PR. But during PR to PO conversion, there's an error indicating material is not setup for 'make to order production'. I think it's bcos of the strategy grp in the material master not defined as '20' in this case. So how can i change this account assignment manually in the sales order item to overcome this error during PO conversion?

Or is other way to handle this? Such that we can decide if we use internal stock or external purchase to fulfill customer requirement.

Thanks

Hi

In material master you give general item category group as NORM and item category group as BANC.

Based on the above both do the item category determination.
