Problems with md51

[Former Member]

Hello experts.

I have an strange problem with transaction md51. When i execute it for a project, it goes on without problem.

When it has to generate a Purchase requisition it generates always the same one, thats ok.

But with one material, and only with that one it generates another kind of purchase requisition, and only when the material goes on a material list.

If it goes alone PRP generates the right kind of purchase requisition.

I ven´t found anything strange nor in the master data of the material neither in the positions of the material list.

I have tried with the customizing, but haven´t found anything.

I will be grateful if anybody could help me.

Thanks

Hi.

Happily a have found the problem, first i will try to explain the issue in a better way, then i will tell you the solution.

Imagine that you have a project. It has a lot of wbs etc.

You put a Material in one wbs. This material is made of more materials. Some are material are producction materials, some are primal matter etc.

Then you launch md51. it explots the material list and generates purchasing requisiton. The problem i had was that in all the cases it generates the right kind of purchasing requisition and in one particular material, it generates another kind.

i didn´t found anything strange in the master data of materials, but the problem was there.

The material hadn´t a MRP group so it creates this kind of order default. Then i changed it and it worked.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

can you please explain me the issue that you are facing at your end more clearly: As like, you have must have got WBS BOM with one independent requirement and other dependent requirements as a part of components to BOM. Now after executing MD51, the requirement/ procurement that system is proposing is for which material, is it for independent or dependent requirement.
