Change in Procurement type from external to internal OR vice versa

Hi,

How can we change the Procurement Type in the material master. We have created the new material type as ZMRM( Mechanical Parts)?

thanks

Hi Harish ,

Try this out :

SPRO--> OMS9

choose the Field selection (box 2nd in the row )

In the field Reference column choose the transaction MM02

After this enter 55 in the Field Selection group (first entry in the screen) Make it option entry from the display

I hope you will get the desired result . Check and revert back for<b> your Material type</b>

Hello,

Still we are not able to change the Procurement type, as we run MM02 and select the material to change the Procurement type. But this field is disable and do not allow to change the same.

Please let us know that when the Procurement Type field is become Enable in MM02.

thanks

Hi,

Go to the config of material types (OMS2) select the material type involved and double-click it. Then enter a 2 in both the "internal" and "external" purchase order fields. This will allow either internal or external or "X" (for both) to be used on the material. (check with others to make sure that they want this material type to allow both before changing this).

If they are already set to 2 each or a combination of 2 and 1 then the fields are being controlled by the field selection reference keys.

The procurement type is disable (MM02) and does not allow to change.

Hi,

that is because the options are determined via the material type.

Go to the Material type config (OMS2) and you can control if internal, external or both can be set on any materials of this type.

the fields are in the "internal/external purchase orders box". Click on the allowed entries and select the ones you want to use. A 1 or 2 will allowit but a 1 gives a warning message (might be the best option for you)

Don't get confused by the term "Internal Purchase orders" this really means "production orders" or internal procurement.

Hi Harish,

Create a material for your material type and select the MRP views. In MRP2 view

In procurement --> procurement type is maintained , go and change it .
