PR Firm thru MRP Run

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am running MRP and system created Purchase Requisition, I am using release strategy so i make 2 Approvers A1 and A2  ..

Scenario -  MRP creates PR, it will go to Approver A1 and Approver A1 approved the PR.

Will firming indicator automatically checked in PR once A1 approves it and save the PR ?

What is standard behavior? In my system, after approval of A1 , PR is not firming.

Please clarify

Thanks

Sastry,

How is your release process for PR configured ?

Is it with (or) without Classification data.

Thanks for sharing the link ...

if A1 approves , PR should be converted as firm PR and after A2 approves will it be same as firmed.

Configuration for this slightly differs based on the way in which "Release Procedure" is configured in your system that is with classification or without classification. So, please check this.

However, firming indicator for a PR in both the ways mentioned above, is controlled based on the "Release Indicators" that would be assigned to each step and this step corresponds to the approval by an approver.

If release process is "With Classification" check under "Release Strategies" and if it is "Without Classification", check under "Assign Release Indicators".

Coming to your requirement as you want the PR to be firmed as soon as A1 approves, maintain the "Release ID/Indicator" as "B" (Standard) corresponding to the release code A1 and PR would be firmed when its approved.

You might check with your MM colleagues to set this up.

Hi

In you relevant PR Release Procedure , you should mark the Firmed for Requirement Planning check box , so that PR get firmed along with release .

SPRO>Materials Mgmt.>Purchasing>Purchase Requisition>Release Procedure>Procedure with Classification> Select Procedure ID  and hit the Details button -Mark Firmed For Requirement Planning .

Or you can also make the same in case if you have Procedure without Classification .

Even , in MD02 , if you chose Creation Indicator -1  Purchase Req , PR will be firmed too.
