Hi,
I have a client who takes sales orders and fulfills those orders using third party purchasing functionality, with the vendor delivering directly to the customer. There is no sales stock involved and the item category on the purchase order is configured for no goods receipt.
If they look at their stock requirements list for a given material, the sales orders appear, but the requisition created as a result of the SO schedule lines do not, nor do purchase orders created from these reqs.
As a result, during MRP SAP is attempting to procure the material through a standard requisition for an external purchase.
I've changed config so schedule lines with the schedule category relating to this type of purchase do not transfer requirements to MRP, resulting in no MRP activity at all, however the client wishes to see each component (Sales order, purchase req/order) when they view their stock requirements list.
How is this handled in the standard system (ie what strategy group in the material master, what item category on the POs, etc....) so these requirements and replenishments are all visible on the stock requirements list?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
