PR and and PlnO/STPO as a result of MRP Run

[former_member706977]

Hi,

There's a situation I am confused with:

I entered PIR's for 2 different materials on the same plant (B). Both have the same Material Master setup and have special procurement type that trigger PlnOrders on another plant (A). The thing is when I run MRP, PIR's on the same plant for 2 different materials, create different requirement types on plant A. One creates PurcReq against the PIRs and the other creates PlnO (STPO) against the PIRs. Why is this so? I have attached screenshots of the 2 materials's MD04 on plant B.

Thanks!

special procurement types. supplying plant is plant 1000 for both material's views on 2000. requirement at 2000 triggers planned order at 1000.

Hi Bilal,

Check if you are using the same parameters in the MRP run.

Note that maybe you are running the MRP with different parameters (to create planned orders in one case and purchase requisitions in the other case). Now if you are running the MRP with the same parameters for both materials, follow the response sent by the expert Caetano.

Anyway, try to run MD02 with the parameters

And check MD04...

Thanks everyone!

It turned out despite having external procurement, one of the materials still had in-house production time maintained in the material master. that's why it was creating planned orders. Thanks to Mariano and Caetano for their constant expert help, as always!

Hello

The standard setting for the MRP transactions is to Create Purchase requisitions in opening period.

Therefore, please check the opening period defined for both materials on the scheduling margin key (tab MRP 2 of the material master). If one of those materials have a larger opening period, that may explain why purchase requisitions are created.

Also, on the MRP group customizing (transaction OPPR) it is possible to define a different detault value for the creation indicator. Therefore, check if both materials are assigned to the same MRP group and check the customizing of the creation indicator on OPPR.
