Requirement type non editable in the sales order

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

I have two different orders for 2 different order types, both for MTO material. These are dummy materials which needs to be replaced when actual material is ready to deliver. Now i want to change the dummymaterials in both the sales order.

In one order Requirement type is getting determined as KEV (req class=045) and in other requirement type is getting detrmined as YUK (req class =  YUK).

Now the KEV order allows me to change the material but order with YUK item category doesnt allow me to change the material in sales order.

Can you suggest me what could be the possible reason for this?

Regards,

Jagjeet

Hi,

Did you compare both Requirement classes

[Former Member]

Hi Siva,

I have compared the requirement classes. There are many differences but I am not able to figure out material/req type in SO is non-editable due to which difference.

For your reference I have attached the screenshots for both the requirement classes in the very 1st post

Hi,

As per your screen shot,there is no availability check and no Requirements passed to MRP its just like a service order.

They may not be Relevant for Delivery

Have you created any orders with these settings in the Past

Jagjeet,

I will assume that the order with the un-editable requirements type has nothing in document flow that would prevent subsequent editing.

I doubt that differences between your two requirements classes is the problem.  Rather, it is probably the differences between how the requirements types were determined in each of these orders. 

There are multiple methods for requirements type determination.  Which one(s) are you using?

I will assume you are talking about a single 'dummy' material.

If I had to guess, the first thing I would be looking at would be OVZI.

If you are talking about two different dummy materials, then I would also be looking at differences in the Strategy groups in the Material master (MRP3 tab) and also the configuration for any MRP groups (MRP1 tab) you may be using.  Both of these can have an impact on Requirements Type Determination in a Sales doc.

Hello,

1.There are no subsequent documents created for both the orders.

2. Requirement type determintaion

a. Where the Material  is non-editable: Req type is determined by combination of Item category+MRP type. This has been given preference over strategy group in configuration(OVZI).

b.Wherethe material is editable: Req type is determined through strategy group.

3. I am using a single dummy material.

Yes we have created orders with this set up. These are dummy p[arts on SO. we replace them with original parts once the parts are ready.

Jagjeet,

Actually, ANY document in Doc flow, including previous documents, can have an impact.

Anyhow, I think you have your answer.  Your current solution for the determination of the un-editable requirements type only allows one requirements type, and no others.

You need to determine the Requirements type in the same way that you are doing when you use the determination method that is successful.  Alternately, you can change your Item Category determination in your Sales Doc to allow additional Item Categories, which allow use of the desired requirements type.

If you choose to change these orders to 'Determination by Strategy' (which currently meets business requirements), it might be necessary to add another Strategy to your MRP Strategy group..

Hi,

Did you check the copy controls,like complete reference at header level

+ and -ve at item level

[Former Member]

Hi Siva,

Thank you for the reply.

The order is the first document to be created so I dont think copy controls will be of use.

There should be some parameter in the requirement class configuration which makes the material and requirement type non-editable in sales order.

Hi,

can you specify from which Requirement class the YUK is copied

Maybe you will getting some error message while trying to change the material in the sales order
