To Avoid purchasing for particular plant

[Former Member]

Hi,

My Client wants to prevent purchase requisition, purchase order, production order for particular plant.

How do we go about this?

Possible things i think is

1. Restricting users to that particular plant though user roles.

2. Creating user exits to give error when PR, PO raised for particular plant?

Any other alternatives, please suggest.

1) Make source list mandatory for the plant.

2) Keep source list blank.

It will ensure no purchasing documents get created.

Hi Deepak,

Where is the configuration to make source list mandatory?

Is that in MM->Purchasing-> Define source list at plant level ?

If the sales requisition and sales order also has to be blocked for the plant, what is the solution?

Thanks & Regards, Muthuvel

Hi Muthuvel

The solution you proposed looks apt. I guess, if a Plant is not assigned to a Purchase Org, purchasing activities can not be carried in that plant.

Thanks

Hi Sri,

You mean to say the solution removing the plant assignment to Purchasing organisation.

That was given by Meher Souayeh.

In case to avoid sales requisition and sales order, we have to remove assignment to sales organization also.

Please let me know the comments

hi,

You can block the plant for the procurement via making the plant(in combination with the material and vendor)in the source list...

There is a block indicator given in the source list itself...

So, when you use this indicator, the plant automatically gets blocked for the given validity period...

OR

If you don't wanna use it may be due to any other reason , then the best way is to rename the plant and by which the plant automatically gets blocked...

Think abt it...

Hi,

When creating a Purchasing Order, the entry of the Purchasing organization is mandatory,

so if you cancel the assignment of Purchasing Organization to the Plant, you can prevent the creation of

PO.

You can set Material Status as Blocked For Procurement in Material Master for the Particular Plant(s).

You Can Create New Status in OMS4 trxn code.

Blocking the material status is a good idea but the requirement is for total purchasing itself which can include services, text material also.

As Mr. Jurgen said it wont work for non Material.

customize a material status and maintain them into plant views of existing materials.

But this will not stop PR and PO creation to this plant for non-material
