planned order/STPO

[Former Member]

Hi,

When MRP is run for a externaly procured item. The planned orders of type ' externaly procured ' are getting generated. The planned order elemment has , planned order no./STPO.

What could be reason for which planned order/STPO are generated instead of purchase rerquisitions?

Hi

Check the MRP control parameters which you entered in MRP RUN MD02.

I think you have entered

Create purchase req. 3 Planned orders

If you maintain 3 system will create planned order only.

If you want purchase requstion directly for externally procrred items then select 1 or 2.

Thanks

Hi ,

Thanks for input.

With MRP control parameters , 2 or 3 , the planned orders of type 'STPO' are generated.

Hi,

Apologies for the incorrect input.

When you run MRP with 3 system will generate planned order of type STPO (Standard External Procurement), this you need to conver to Purchase Requisition.

When you run MRP with 2, system will generate planned order if the requirement (need date - GR - pldt - purchase processing time) is after the opening period.

When you run MRP with 1, system will always generate a purchase requisition.

What you notice is standard behaviour. Double click on the planned order & you should notice that the order type would be Standard Purchase Order & also Standard external Procurement.

Hope the above clarifies your query.

Hi

Run MRP with MRP control parameters 1 always purchase requsition.

Change the planning mode to 3 Delete and recreate planning data AND RUN the MRP for the same material.

Hi,

Check in BOM item detail , have you assigned spl.procurement type?

Hi,

Go to MRP-2 view of the material & check the special procurement key, i think it is defined as a Stock Transport Type.

Hi ,

Thanks for quick input. But in MRP2 no 'spl procurment key ' is maintained'.

In any other t/c where i need to look or any spro settings.
