Set res/PR indicator in PM refurb order based on item category

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are loading components of a refurbishment order from the bill of material of the header material. Actually the operations and components are defined in a general maintenance task list and the task list is included in the order. The components have both item categories L (stock item), E (also stock item) and Z (non-stock item). We have set the res/PR indicator as 'Immediately' in SPRO (Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation no. interval) for that refurbishment order type.

Our requirement is that we want to set the Res/PR indicator as 'Immediately' for components with item category L and 'Never' for components with item category E in the general data of the individual component. We found one enhancement point where this can be done but this does not seem to work. How can we implement this functionality?

This is required as client wants to selectively pick components with item category E from warehouse, as part of closed loop refurbishment process where the components are inspected and replaced with working components (item cat E) from the warehouse. If we implement the above functionality then we can uncheck the movement allowed indicator in the component general data for those components with item category E which are not required to be picked.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Abhijit,

Have you looked at setting these materials as "BULK Material" in the BOM? You could do this manually when creating a BOM or run a batch program to automatically set this indicator for all item with specific item category. This would automatically not create a reservation for these item on the order.

Hi,

The items with item category E are similar to L items, i.e. stock items. However they are not bulk materials. So I cannot check the bulk material indicator either in the material master or in the BOM item. Could you please suggest how to implement this?

Abhijit,

I understand that they may not be BULK Material,But i was requesting to see if you consider treating the items with "E" item category like bulk materials.

Have a look at form AUDISP_FROM_NO_DISP in program LCOMKFZV,You should be able use the implicit enhancement functionality to adjust the reservation indicator based on the item category, at the end of the form.As with any implicit enhancement functionality, make sure to test this thoroughly and document the same properly.

Thank you for all your help. I was able to solve the problem. We activated one enhancement spot ES_SAPLCOSD in program ES_SAPLCOSD and put our logic there.
