Direct procurement - subcontracting

[Former Member]

Hi,

How to set up a flow where subcontracted materials are procured directly.

I have created a special procurement key -

Procurement type: F

Special procurement: L

Direct Procurement: X (check mark)

When I create a production order there is not created any purchase requisition for my subcontractor.

Thanks!

Hi,

Check the item category in BOM...the item category must be non-stock item "N" in the BOM item column.

when to create pord order puchase requisation will come. MRP will not plan this part.

Hi,

You need to run MRP to generate the Purchase requisition from this demand.

Hi Steve,

I also ran a MRP - but it did not create a PReq.

As soon as I changed the special procurement key on the material master to something different from the special procurement key I have created the Preqs are created.

Hi,

The direct procurement flag is causing this, I think you may be misunderstanding its use.

If you set this flag is stops the system from generating a requirement for stock because it thinks you will be procuring this directly and not via the SAP stock.

I would recommend that you switch off this flag on the SP Proc Key, or use a different Sp proc key.
