Procurement type

[Former Member]

Hi Procurement type is dependent on what.

I see there is stock transfer in plants within company code have external procurement.

Material is finished material. Should procuremnet type depends on material type?

Should procurement type internal procurement if we procure finished material within plants having same company code through stock transfer ?

Thanks,

Kiran

Hi Kiran,

The procurement setting (MRP) is plant dependent.

If the material 'X' is only produced in plant 'A' then give Internal procurement in MRP 2 for that material - plant.

If the material 'X' is only externally procured in plant 'B' then give External procurement in MRP 2 for that material - plant.

If the material 'X' is both produced as well as externally procured in plant 'C' then mention both in MRP 2 for that material - plant.

To get this flexibility dont give setting at material type level. Give it at material wise level.

Hope it helps

Hi, I think you should maintain 'X' if you want to make PO for STO for Finished Product, Internal or External STO requires PO.

If you use 'E' it will not allow to make PO, also you need to have 'Purchasing' view extended for these Finished Product which is involved in STO process.

hi,

Procurement Type and Special Procurement Type use when the system determines the procurement element, it first asks whether procurement should take place via in-house production or external procurement.

Prerequisites

You have defined whether in-house production, external procurement or both are

allowed for the material, in the material master record in the Procurement type field. The

procurement type is preset by the material type in Customizing for the material master.

If necessary, you have defined more precisely how the in-house production or external

procurement is to be carried out, in the material master (MRP 2 view), in the Special

procurement field.

You define special procurement keys in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity

Define special procurement type.

Features

Procurement Type

If both in-house production and external procurement are defined for the material via the material type (indicator X in Procurement type field), then you can set the procurement type as follows:

By overwriting the indicator in the material master

By converting the planned order either into a production order or a purchase requisition.

By using quota arrangements, in that you define that a certain percentage of the material is

to be procured via in-house production and the rest via external procurement.

If you leave the indicator X for both procurement types in the material master record,

and you have not maintained any quota arrangements, the system automatically

switches to in-house production. The planned order therefore firstly creates planned

orders, which you can then convert into production orders or purchase requisitions.

Special Procurement Type

The special procurement type is used to precisely define how in-house production and external

procurement is to be carried out.

Special Procurement for In-House Production

For a phantom assembly

Production in alternative plant

Withdrawal from an alternative plant

Direct production

Special Procurement for External Procurement

Consignment

Subcontracting

Stock transfer

Direct Procurement

for FG it is better to enable internal and external procurement at material type level

in MRP2 view of material master, maintain procurement type E for manufacturing plant , F for the depot / plant you are doing stk transfer 2 and X if internal and external are relevant.

you can also control thru special procurement type in mm mrp 2 view for which you can do the configuration in MRP master data define spl procurement types .

in spl procurement, for stk transfer of FG when you assign a mother plant, it will assist in costing purpose too.

Hi There

It is based on the config you have done it on OMS2

Usually all the ROH materials are externally procured and defaulted with Procurement Type "F" (MRP2 view)

HALB materials can be X

FERT materials used to set as E (Though we procured the material as finished(it will be maintained as HALB) , Labeling ot packing a single or multiple minor operation and convert as a FERT)

in MRP view you can set the procurement type based on the material type and based on the configuration

Thanks

for stock transfers , you should use special procurement Key (i think its 30) .

also, in such casses you can go for option "both procurement types" at the material master level.

Hi,

Should procurement type depends on material type?

Yes check setting in OMS2 for material type

Hi,

You can set procurement type at Material type or Material level (MRP view).

Do not set at meterial type level if you need more flexibility.
