Cease PR creation through PM orders

[sank_n]

Hi Experts,

Service PR's are creating via the PM orders in one of our clients system (Control key PM03). Details required to create the PR would be entered manually.

Currently PR would be created Immediately 

However client has requested to temporally block the PR creation via PM orders due to there business requirement

What would be the best option to cater the requirement?

Thanks in advance

you can train them to use the option NEVER in the 'Res/PurchasRQ' for controal key. PM03.

and also you can do the development if you want i will provide the exit details .

Hi team mates

if you need only PM01 (internal manpower) and didn't want to use PM02/03 & other cntrl key options, you could control it by Operations--Configuration-Table settings with hiding of Control key field &/or Res.PR field also. By this way user will not get the option to change on the screen. refer the snapshots also.

Hi,

You can try this by changing the configuration settings temporarly for not creating the PR automatically from the Maitenance Order.Below is the configuration path

Functions and Settings for Order Types-->Define Change Documents, Collective Purchase Requisition, MRP relevance-->Res/PurRq set as "Never" for the Plant and Order type which you want to block temporarly

OR

Do not maintain the Account Assignment Cat. and Document Type for Purchase Requisitions in the configuration settings :- Maintenance and Service Orders-->General Data -->Define Account Assignment Cat. and Document Type for Purchase Requisitions

Once business agrees you can revoke the settings to original.

Hello Sank,

As Pete mentioned, there is no authorization object against operation control key but please check if autorization object M_BANF_BSA (doc. type for purchase req) is checked during order creation. If so, you can control by using ACTVT field.

Well, you can't remove the PM03 control key because other orders will be referencing it. And you can't change it for the same reasons (say to remove some of the checkbox settings).

There is no authorisation object/check against an operation control key either.

So either training, or development. Or get the users to set their personal settings to remove this value.
