Blocking material for Procurement

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have uploaded a new material master according the client's requirements and now the earlier used codes need to be locked for procurement. Is thi possible? If yes, how so?

Appreciate all help,

Thanks,

in material master Goto Basic data 1

X-plant matl status -

---

01 Blocked for procment/whse

02 Blocked for task list/BOM

10 Blocked for MRP

Select any one.

Valid from -

Here you enter valid date from which the material should be blocked.

So from this your material will be blocked for any PR/PO/any transactions related to Procurement

also you can put a deletion indicator mm06.

if you do not customize the warning messages to error messages, then the deletion indicator will not stop you from any activity.

Hi

Alternatively you can create a source list in ME01 for the material with blank vendor field and mark the block indicator. The material will be blocked for procurement for the validity period maintained in the source list.

Thanks

define a material status that does not allow procurement (can be customized if not already present) and assign it with MM17 to your old materials

Alternative you can change the procurement type to internal procurement only in MRP2 view

hi,

Go to MM02 , purchasing view of the old material number and set the Plnt-spe material status to B1.
