Purchase requisition & reservation for the same material

[former_member226890]

Hi All,

Can anybody explain why for the same material a purchase requisition & reservation is generated from business process perspective?

In our current project I am experiencing that.

Is it reservation related to delivery from project I mean goods issue?

Thanks & Regards,

Sudhindra

Hi All,

Item category is N :Non stock, Account assignment is Q:Project make to order.Procurement

type is F:External procurement. Consumption is P:Project , movement type is 281.

1) I want to know why for the same material a purchase requisition & reservation is generated

2) what might be business process because of which both reservation & PR is generated for the same material?

Hi Sudhindra

PR + Reservation  Procurement type  has the below functionality

1>PR is created and Procured and stocked in Project stock

2>From the project stock the goods are issued against the reservation number

it is mainly PR  for procurement and goods issue against reservation number

Hi Sudhindra

The procurement Type for material component in Project system depends on

1>Material master  MRP 2 view -Procurement Type, MRP 4 View- Stock management

2>Item Category of component assigned to PS activity

3>Project stock indicator in Project Profile

4>Procurement Indicator in Network profile

5>Procurement Indicator in material component Overview

Hi Sudhindra,

Please find below OSS note, not sure whether this is applicable for your version

1862507 - Reservation Number is Displayed for 'Non-Stock' Material

I guess if this does not solve you, you can hide the reservation number from the screen or you can contact SAP for additional information.

Hi Sudhindra,

Are you mentioning about the reservation number generated at the Non-Stock component ?

SAP Standard system creates a reservation number for every network created. You can check view VIAUFKS for any network which does not have a single component.

When you add any materials against a network, the reservation number and reservation item number is assigned to the component line item. The combination of both is the key which you can see in RESB Table.

Whether this is a stock or not stock item, a reservation number will be generated.

Literally this is used for internal table purpose, you cannot do Goods Issue for the Non-stock item. There is no business process involved.

This is derived from your "Procurement Indicator" assigned in activity in project under WBS element.

Hi Sudhindra,

Usually this is done where in the purchase department is having less interaction with the people who are ordering the material.  In such cases Preq + Reservation method is used..

For Account assignment N is not for Non-Stock, it means it is for projects. where in material is ordered against a network activity..

Hope it helps
