Material block from Exteranl procurement

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

I have one requirement. I want to configure a material for which no exteranl procuement possible(I will not be able to create any purchase requisitions or Purchase orders). But at the same time I should be able to create inforecord for that for costing run.

Can anybody help with this scenario?

Thanks,

Check note 2723406 - ME51N: Unable to create a stock transport requisition if material blocked for purchasing.

It corrects the standard system behaviour in STOs too.

I appreciate your attitude in helping the members but at the same time, when you respond, please see that you respond to latest discussion and not to a one which was created in 2007 thereby, you pushed this discussion to top of the tag.

Hi Bhairav

U want to restrict a particular material or material type for expternal procureemnt, if it is material type then u have to give the material type settings in OMS2 "internal/external purchase orders allowed", or if it is for particular material then use x-plant material status to block the material for procurement. .

<b>But at the same time I should be able to create inforecord for that for costing run.</b>

Unfortunately in both the cases u are not able create info record for that material. But for what combination u want maintain the info record (in ur case there is no vendor)? and is it necessary to have inforecord for costing run??

HI,

U CAN TRY THIS AS FOLLOWS:

<b>OMS9</b>>><b>FIELD SELECTION GROUP</b> AS<b> 51</b>>>FIELD<b> MARC-MMSTA</b>>>CHOOSE <b>FIELD REFERENCE</b>>> MAKE IT AS <b>DISPLAY</b> MODE.

THE ONLY NEGATIVE POINT IN THIS IS IF U GO THROUGH THIS OPTION THEN U HV 2 GET IT DONE WITH AN MATERIAL TYPE OPTION.

Hi Prasad,

You create Zmaterial type without selecting purchasing view and also select no external procurement allowed. create a material with this material type. You will not be able to create any purchase order.

Thanks manik for your reply.

I also tried this. But If we do this, we are not able create Purchase Info records. It must allow us to create PIR also.

Thanks,

Bhairav,

First you need to create the Inforecord and then you can set the "Plant-sp-mat-Status" to "BP" - Blocked for Purchasing in the Purchasing view of the material master in change mode.

You can check the defination of the Status in transaction OMS4... for your requirement under "Purchasing" - Purchase Messages - define with B and leave all other field with blank.

Thanks a lot Prasobh,

The idea you have shown is also in my mind, but some dumb users are changing the Plant-sp-mat-Status and they are creating the Purchase orders. Could you please show me a way to resolve this.

Thanks,

Bhairav,

Looks like a discipline Issue rather than anything else. You should handle this through authorisation control. Provide access to limited people for Change Material master and make them responsible if there any problems.
