BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN - Requisition not created on Nonstock component

[Former Member]

I am using the code below to try and create 2 nonstock components on an existing order 7201081 - which should create a purchase requisition. The 2 nonstock components are created on the order however the purchase requisition is not created.

I feel the Purchase requisition is not created due to the mrp_relevant flag in the bapi. The bapi's component table says that a value '3' for mrp_relevant should set the purchase requisition to 'Immediately' however it is not doing so - the nonstock component when passed a '3' is always set to 'From Release'.

Has anyone had this issue or know of a solution ? Has anyone been able to use this bapi to create a purchase requisition on a nonstock item ?

Thanks, Michelle

Michelle,

There are three settings for the mrp relevant flag.

1) Never - Never create PR

2) Immediately - Creates PR as soon as order is created

3) On release. - creates on order release

I think setting the flag to 2 should help.

Thanks and Regards,

On BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN - when I look at table IT_COMPONENT (which is like BAPI_ALM_ORDER_COMPONENT) and I then look at MRP_RELEVANT field's data element of AUDISP_PLUS - it points to domain 'AUDISP' which has values:

1) Never

2) From Release

3) Immediately

This is the reason I've been passing value '3'.

I did try just a few minutes ago with mrp_relevant of '2' along with '1' and neither one of them create a purchase requisition for the nonstock component.

Sorry about that.

But are u able to create the components on the order ? If yes, Can you check if a PR is created on the standard transaction itself (IW32, just to ensure that there is no configuration restricting the creation of PR).

[Former Member]

Yes - the BAPI does create the non-stock components on the order - however the flag is set to 'From Release' instead of 'Immediately' and the purchase requisition is not created.

Yes - a Purchase requisition is created in the standard transaction IW32 for the non-stock components, and the flag is always set to 'Immediately'.

Yes - I also checked the configuration (path specified below) and for the order type/Plant the flag is set to 'Immediately'.

Configuration Path:

Plant Maintenance -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance

and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types ->

Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No.
