Item category "U" defaulted in PR in MD04 after MRP run

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am facing issue of Item category "U" appearing defaulted in PR in MD04 after MRP run.

Here we need to create intercompany STO. But unfortunately after MRP run item category "U" appearing default in PR converted from planned order. For conversion of PR to Purchase order, then system appearing PO type “UB” for intracompany STO. It needs PO type as “NB” for intercompany STO.

Also checked below setting.

1)  1) Special procurement type is blank, mentioned in material master.

2) Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Requisition-Define Document Types-                                                                                                  In above config setting for document type “NB” Item category “U” & “blank” also assigned.

I have gone through lot of thread on portal. Someone suggested to remove supplying plant from source list, but unfortunately it not deleting & defaulted in source list automatically.

Can you please suggest any permanent solution for this issue. Looking for your positive reply.

I don't see a problem of having item category U in case of a requisition for a stock transfer. It is exactly what you need and what the SAP design is. And it does not at all control what document type you get in the purchase order.

The document type proposal is based on your STO customizing or you personal settings in ME21N

Thank you very much Jurgen for your valuable suggestion. Now issue has been resolved.

Yes I have maintained STO customizing setting for assignment of Supplying plant, receiving plant & document type "NB"

Bijay: It is for item category "U", but thank you for your reply.

Hi,

Check which material group assigned to Material Master in t.code: MM03 in MRP-1 view and now cross check in t.code: OMDT for MRP GROUP- which document type for STO assigned to plant & that MRP group.

For triggering Acct Assignment –U , Check in t.code: OMDT for PLANT  and go for details – Now find  in Acct Assignment U assigned in “Acct Assignment for Non- Valuated Mats” TAB which cause your concern!
