Materials procurement without reservations

[federico_gregoret]

i experts!

We are having a scenario I'm not being able to reproduce in the system, regarding materials procurement.

This is how we need the system to work:

1) From PS, assign materials to network activities

2) Create from PS the corresponding purchase requisitions

3) Turn those PR into purchase orders

4) Enter the goods receipt of the PO, into the project stock

5) Make a delivery of those materials from the stock to the client

Up to now the only thing I could do via a customizing procurement indicator, is to generate a purchase requisition + a reservation. I can reproduce all the steps mentioned above with this indicator, but the issue is that I'm having reservations I'm never gonna use, since I won't ever consume those materials.

Is there any way I can customize the system so that it issues only purchase requisitions but to be delivered in the project stock and not to consumption?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Thalos.

If you are using valuated project stock system will generate a Reservation for that. It is a standard behavior. Please use CNS0 to create delivery and do the goods issue so it will get closed automatically.

Thanks Abdul!

It worked! I did the delivery with CNS0, and the reservation got closed, in effect.

Thanks for your help!!

Hi Thalos,

In my view, you need not worry about the reservations. They will get closed when you do delivery - post goods issue should be against these reservations only.

Hi Thalos,

Use the following procurement type to resolve your issue:

Preliminary purchase requisition WBS element/ Preliminary order/ sales document

For material with long replenishment lead times, it may be necessary within the project implementation to trigger its procurement although actual consumers do not yet exist. To do this, assign the required material as a material component with a preliminary procurement type to the project. Once the actual consumers exist, just reassign the material to them (as the material will exist in your project stock.
