Default Procurement Type for a Material Type

[rudy_schmitz]

Hello everybody,

Is it possible to assign a default procurement type (for example: F) to a Material Type?

If yes, can you explain me where (which transaction)?

If no, can you explain me an alternative to do so?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help...

Regards,

You can do this by configuring material type.

Follow the path

IMG->Logistic general->material master->Basic Settings>Material types-->Define attributes of the material type

Select the material type and click detail button

In the External/Internal Purchase order Subscreen---Set the following details

Ext. Putchase Order should be 2 (external purchase order allowed)

Int. Purchase Order should be 0 (No internal purchase order allowed)

If u save the setting

then when u create material master, Procure type would be F in MRP 2 screen and you cant change this value becuase the field is greyed out it will be only displayed

Hi,

In OMS2, you can specify whether external or internal procurement is allowed for a material type in Internal / external purchase orders section.

Check if the same is helpful for your need.

Hi,

It is not possible to assign a default procurement type for material types. But you can try to achieve this using the MRP profile. For each material types you can create a different MRP profiles. MRP profile will be having the procurement type value. While using this MRP profile automatically the reqd value will be updated in material master.
