Vendor not assigned to PR when doing a MRP run

[Former Member]

I am doing an MRP run for creating purchase requistions

However the vendor is not getting assigned to the PR.

I have the vendor defined in the source list (made it fixed) and also created info record.

However when i run the MRP the PR is created but the vendor is not assigned to the PR.

Also how can create the PO automatically from the MRP ?

Also where can i see the time frame setting for Processing PR to PO?

Thanks

Dears,

I'm faced to the same kind of problem...

The process is an inter-company PR.

The MRP of our plant creates PR for the other plant, these PR are type "MFS" (because of customizing with the tcode OPPR, in order to manage MRP group in the material sheet MRP1)

We have maintained the info-record and the source list, and the extra-purchasing view of the vendor (the plant we send the PR).

When we launch the MRP, the systems creates the PR and we get them in the dynamical status of stock (tcode MD04). In this list, the vendor well appears on the rigth of the screen. So, it seems that the source list is well managed

BUT, when we have a look into the PR (tcode ME53N), the vendor doesn't appear in the source list sheet. :-((

Please, tell me what could be the reason of this stange fact ? (the field is not invisble customized...)

FYI, we get the same result with material without MRP group, and PR type NB

Thanks for your support,

BR,

Tony

In the source list you have to activate for MRP relevant by entering 1 in MRP field

To create the PO use ME59N for MRP reqs but you can't create diretly from MRP

You cannot create the PO automatically from MRP Run.

You will need to use ME59 to create the PO automatically.
