Problem with Purchase Requisition created via MRP in SAP Apparel & Footwear Solution

[Former Member]

Hi Xperts,

There is an issue with Purchase Requisitions created via MRP in SAP IS-AFS.When we create Purchase Requisitions via MRP, where Source list, Quota Arrangement etc. etc. do not exist for that particular material but the Info Record Exists for a specific Vendor,system is not updating the Vendor field in Source of Supply Tab.But, if I create Purchase Requisition manually via ME51N,Source of supply tab is updated with the Vendor field in the PR.

Can anyone please guide me regarding this issue by telling the actual relevant criterias to get the required result?

Regards

Kindly note that , I have also assigned the Default Purchase Organization in the Material Master. Regards

Along with Info record you will also require to maintain the source list for your requirement of MRP PR, in the Source list this relevant info record must be MRP relevant,

Now If your info record vendor is maintained in the source list with ''1'' MRP-related indicator, then MRP run PR will be generated with info record vendor in the ''Fixed vendor'' field and the ''Info record'' number in the info record field. Now again you have to run the MRP & Check

Thanks a lot, Tej ,for your kind reply.But is there any possibility to have the required result without maintaining Vendor-Material Source List?

Could you also please explain, why system is updating the Source of Supply while creating PR thru ME51N where the Source List is also not maintained.If Source List is not maintained at all then the system should not update the Source of Supply in the PR created via ME51N.

In ME51N manual PR Creation do you select SOURCE DETERMINATION or Vendor comes Automatically

In ME51N , I select Source Determination, then the Vendor comes automatically.

In the case of MRP PR you cannot select the SOURCE DETERMINATION so to make this happen you need to maintain the Source List

You can also try 1 workaround by using T-code ME56 (assign) or ME57 (assign and process), Here enter the PR number created by MRP & Execute for Assignment of Vendor.

Hi,

During manual creation of PR , the "Source Determination" check box selected in t.code: ME51N or in the 1st screen of ME51  which will help in Automatic PO from that PR only.

But in the case of MRP PR which created automatically by the system with given criteria for that material master where it picks possible source of supply from source list where  source list created with Record relevant to MRP as 1.

For you case, possible source of supply comes automatically, then check for that material and vendor, contract should be there where is picks during PR creation. Also check any User exit or BADI which helps to pick source of supply from contract to PR automatically instead of source list which you believe strongly.

Basic concept is, for the externally procured materials the system generates PR during MRP run & Choose the Vendor based on the Purchase Info record and the Source list created for the Material and Vendor combination and the corresponding relevancy for MRP in T-code ME01,

In ME01 if the Fixed vendor Check box is set means then PR gets generated for that vendor only.
