Hi Anusha,

System does not automatically convert planned order to PR. It is u who have to take up the decision .

At first check your MRP-2 view of material master.

If the procurement type is F then always PR are created during MRP run ( MD02 ) provided u use the Create purchase req indicator as 1 or 2 in MD02.

If the procurement type is E then always Planned order are created during MRP run ( MD02 ) provided u use the Create purchase req indicator as 3 in MD02.

If the procurement type is X then either Planned order or PR gets created which ulitmately depends upon " Create purchase req indicator "in MD02

Dear Anusha,

Just a simple example to understand

1) we give demand for header materail in MD61 ( PIR )

2) Running MRP in MD02 or MD01 for header materail

3) Now MRP creates Procurement praposals for header materails & as well as dependent materails

4) Now we can check the same in MD04

5) For in-house produced materails, we convert plan order to production order Via MD04 (single) or collectivily in CO41

6) same way for external procurement praposals Via MD04 (single) or MD16 collectivily (Converting plan order to Purchase Req)

Dear Anusha,

Once after running MRP either at the header material level or at the material level,the system creates planned order/purchase

requisition depending upon the MRP control parameter given for create Purchase requisition at the time of MRP run.

The planned order/purchase requisition is one of the MRP element that can be seen in MD04,which is one of the important

screen for a production scheduler/purchase dept.

Converting a purchase requisition into a purchase order or else a planned order into a purchase requisition depends on the

business decision.Either you can convert the purchase req into purchase orders via MD04 or else using ME21N.

Likewise MD14,MD15,MD16 can be used for converting a planned order into purchase req.

Also a background job can be scheduled using T Code ME59N to convert the pur.req into purchase orders.

Check and revert back.
