As Szommer mentioned, the combination of item category L and account assignment E is only possible in an MTO environment.

If you need to drive this scenario literally from a purchasing standpoint (or with SD in which the schedule line category will automatically create a PR with L & E combination ), then you can use the combination of account assignment 'M' and item category 'L'.

i think u have to try out in qas by first seeing thru sprommpurchasing-account assignment-define combination of item/categorries/account assignment---here check whether the combination is present.If not then create it and try out the full cycle.

Hi Indranil / Manohar / Csaba / Kishore,

Can you please look after this issue............

I have already done what you said. The assignment was not there. So i assign the item category and account assignment.

Now the problem is while creating Purchase order i am getting error called

Sales document item 100314 000010 is not defined for the transaction

Please tell me all the steps starting from BOM/ sales order/po.

I have created semi finished product and two raw components.

maintained bom for semifinished product.

created one sales order.

Also Please let me know is it compulsory to maintain sales views in semifinished & raw materials.

Please guide.

Reg,

Ashok

Hi Ashok,

Please have a look at SAP help about individual PO in Sales, I think it's easy to understand how to set it:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/dd/5601fb545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm

SO (item category TAB) > creates PR automatically - so, it's not clear to me why do you want to create PO directly (w/o PR).

It's important that 'E' works in MTO environment. If you are in MTS you cannot use this since your sales orders don't have special stock (you cannot assign special stock to your sales orders).

Check 'startegy group' field of your material (FG that is on your SO and that is the same you want to procure from sc vendor) in MM03 (MRP3) - in case of 10, 11, 40 (e.g.) you are in MTS environment...
