Item category “K” to default automatically in ME51N when creating PR with consignment material having special procurement input 10

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a requirement to default the Item category “K” automatically in ME51N when user is creating PR with consignment material having special procurement input as 10 in MRP view 2.

Do we have any config setting to set this as default automatically based on above criteria other than enhancement using BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST?

Appreciate your help!

Hi,

   As of my knowledge, there is no configuration option to achieve the requirement. As you are already aware, the enhancement with BAdI: ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST   will be the option.

Hi,

You want to have default  Item category “K” automatically in ME51N when user is creating PR with consignment material, so better create a new PR document type for consignment as ZKON and go for

screen variant or transaction variant for transaction code ME51N  Item category “K” for PR document type ZKON

Hi,

Thanks but this option does not work because we want to have it only for Consignment material and user can do mistake using normal material with this config.

If you will use special procurement as 10, then at the time PR creation system will give you the message ME174.

If you will set the message as error, then system will not allow to save the entry until you will give the item category K.

But if you want to default it, then I think you need to do that by using this BADI.

Hi,

Thanks for quick response but the requirement is to default K while using material instead of entering manually.
