MRP1 Disappears from the Source list

[rajamurugan_tp]

Hello expects,

Due to some reason MRP 1(Record relevant to MRP) in the source list automatically get clear. Furthermore this issue causes to create MRP purchase requisition without vendor number. I have checked the validity date of purchase info rec, system logs, RFQ creation but can’t find the reason.

It would be great if anyone advise this issues.

Thanks,

Raj

Nothing disappears from alone in SAP.

There is no SAP planned  hidden background job that automatically removes lines from a source list or values from a field.

You have to investigate in your system if somebody developed a Z-report himself to do such cleaning. 

In any case you should check the change log of your source list.

Thank you for your replies Bijay and Juergen,

I have check MRP data in the material master is correct and I can able create purchase requisition with vendor when I mark MRP1 again in the source list. Since system logs (MD04 or CDPOS) doesn’t have detailed information, I can’t find which transaction or program has cleared the MRP1.

Please find the below logs which was update MRP1 with new entries in source list but doesn’t have detail about MRP1 updation.

Material Plant    Tcode    Name    Date                     Time                     Doc.no                 No          Action

72763 Plant1      ME01     User1    12.08.2016          13:58:27              12323241            1             Entry

72763 Plant1      ME01     User1    12.08.2016          13:58:27              12323241            1             Entry

72763 Plant1      ME01     User1    12.08.2016          13:58:27              12323241            1             Entry

Can you please advise is there any other way to find out the logs in the system?

Additional to that I noticed RFQ was done on the same day.  I am not sure MRP1 would clear because of RFQ creation.

Regards,

Raj

The log has nothing helpful here. I have not seen a  program in 19 years with SAP  that would change this indicator, except the source list maintenance programs itself.

On this assumption it would classify as bug and you may have to contact SAP.

The problem is then probably to replicate the case to analyze what could be causing it.

How do you know that the indicator was originally set?

Is this a single case or happened it to many other materials too?

Did this start issue start after a certain event, e.g. after an upgrade?

Do you know if you make use of BAdIs for source lists? in that case you may check OSS note 2288986 - During the source list creation/updation the BADI values are not updated correctly

Hi,

With all master data setting, the source list should work as standard functionality.

Better involve ABAPer how this indicator disappear during your wanted transaction, have some quality  time for instigation and if not resolved , you need to go back to SAP.

Thank you Juergen,  I will contact SAP to find the reason and let you know the solution once i get it.

Please find the answers for your questions.

How do you know that the indicator was originally set?

• This is originally indicated by user and informed me and its usual practice many of the purchase source material will mark MRP1 in the source list.

Is this a single case or happened it to many other materials too?

• This issue happened many other materials too

Did this start issue start after a certain event, e.g. after an upgrade?

• This is happening past 2-3 months, there is no recent upgrade or system changes done during this time.

Do you know if you make use of BAdIs for source lists? in that case you may check OSS note 2288986 - During the source list creation/updation the BADI values are not updated correctly

• BADI hasn’t implemented for this sourcelist

Hello

There is a transaction called CODE_SCANNER which may be useful here.

You can use this transaction to search for programs in the package Z* which contain the string AUTET, in order to look for a custom program that is changing this field.

Hello Caetano,

Thanks, CODE_SCANNER it's useful to find the Z* programs. But the AUTET field doesn't found in any BAPI, Userexits and Enhancement.

Thanks,

Hi,

Create a contract for your material and then enter contract number with contract item number in your source list and see the difference!

Hi Biju,

Thanks, We never use contract agreement. This issue was started occurring from past 3-4 months before that it was working fine.

Hi,

Before MRP related data disappears from source list- just check your material have MRP data in your material master(MRP-1 , MRP-2 & MRP 3 views etc) .

In source list you can have vendor number with purchase organization  and purchasing agreement number with item and MRP related data for your MRP material and plant.
