Quantity withdrawn field in the prod order not being updated

[nicky_hays]

Hi

I have a direct procurement for a production order of a sub contract material.

The quantity withdrawn field is still showing zero after I post a goods receipt for the sub contact material. There is no problem in MIGO. I can see the GR being account assigned to the production order and also can see the goods receipt in the documented goods movement screen of the production order.

Why isn't the quantity withdrawn field in the production order being updated?

Sincerely,

Nicky

Hi Nicky,

If the goods issue is made without reference to the reservation, the withdrawal quantity is not updated.This is explained in SAP note 600266 and it is system standard behavior.For MIGO, proceed by selecting Goods issue then Order and enter production order no. Reservations of the order will be listed in the items. Mark OK for the items and save.

This way posting will be done against order reservations and quantity withdrawn field gets updated.Revert in case you face any problem.

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for replying.

How is this an unplanned goods movement? I had put the sub contract material with item category N in the production order and expected a reservation to be automatically created. By entering the subcontract material in the production order, SAP automatically creates a purchase requisition which I can view through MD04 and then convert into a purchase order from there and process a GR on it.

This does not happen with other non sub contract materials which I directly procure against a production order where I am able to see the withdrawn qty after the GR.

Kindly help!!!

Hi Nicky,

Is your issue resolved ?

If I understood your current query,in case of item category N(Non stock),system will directly create purchase requisition(Hence this is termed as unplanned good movement) and for others item categories(stock items) system will create reservation followed by MRP Purchase requisition(Planned good movement).Please correct me if i am wrong in getting your query.

Hi Deepak,

When I use other non subcontract materials for direct procurement to a production order then after i post the GR, I can see the quantity withdrawn field updated.

Why is it problem with this material? Is it because of it being a subcontract material?

Hi Nicky,

The procurement type is defined by the material type you have chosen.You can check the same for your material in material master.Go to MM03 -> tab MRP2 -> Check procurement type

Note : The procurement type is defined by the material type you have chosen.
