Values from Purchasing value key U coming automatically in STO

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have observed that when Purchasing value key is blank in the material master, the tolerance values related to Purchasing Value Key "U" are adopted under delivery tab for the material in STO automatically.

Is there any configuration setting that Purchasing Value key is linked with Item Category and/or document type OR is it hard coded in Standard SAP that values from Purchasing Value Key "U" are adopted in STO by default (due to Item Category U) automatically if Purchasing Value Key is blank in the material master?

Can any one assist in clarifying this issue?

Thanks in advance

so you are saying you have a purchasing value key U in your system.

I dont.

if this is a SAP given fuctionality, then everyone should have a U purchasing value key in his system.

I do not know everything, but I have not read anything about such option in documentation nor in SAP notes.

I have not even seen a system where the purchasing value key in material master is made optional, I only know it as mandatory field. Of course I know that one can change the settings.

I guess this is selfmade functionality in your system

My observation is if purchasing value key is either blank or U (if it exists in the system as it can be kept or deleted) in the material master, the values from purchasing value key U is adopted in STO automatically. If purchasing value key is other than blank or U in the material master then the values from exact purchasing value key (from the material master) is adopted in STO.

Need to have clarification on this whether it is controlled by configuration or it is hard coded in the system that Item Category U should pull purchasing value key U in STO if not getting purchasing value key from the material master.

It would be great if some one can assist in this matter for clarification

Thanks in advance

As Jurgen said,

- there is no standard configuration to link item category and pur value key.

- there is no configuration to make default pur value key for STO.

check with your abaper to debug the PO and check from where pur value key are picked.

also check your default value and personal settings for PO in me21n screen
