Hi Shikha,

Table T161 is for "Purchasing Document Types" and NB is a normal purchasing document type for "Standard PO" and "Standard PR". Its a standard SAP provided document type that should be present in T161 table.

Can you please cross check in SE11 > T161 input NB in field BSART and check if you can find 2 entries for PR and PO document type ?

Are you working in a test / sandbox system or in a production environment ?

Hi Shikha,

Above screenshot shows field in table T161. You need to click on contents

then in field "document type" or "BSART" enter "NB". Execute to check the number of entries

Do you find 2 entries for NB document in the result ?

Shikha,

Also check in customizing transaction OMDT.

Check for values maintained againts MRP group of respective plant you can use other document type for external procurement if NB is not in use.

Hi Rohit,

I think by copying std. doc type NB, other doc type for this project has been created by our team .

Please refer the screeshots below:

I think ZPR is the doc type created by copying NB.

Please Help.

Hi Shikha,

Yes it seems in your case ZPR is the relevant document type. go to OMDT and change NB to ZPR for your plant / MRP group. Try running MRP again. This should solve your problem.

Hi Rohit,

Shikha,

Are you getting this error while running MRP for a single mateiral or running at plant level ? Which MRP transaction are you using ?

Can you check OMDT completely for other plants as well. There could be a case of requirement getting full filled by other plant for which NB has been maintained.

Hi Rohit,

I am using MRP for a single material(MD02) not for plant. In OMDT, there are no settings for doc type NB for any plant.

Is there any other setting needs to be maintained to get out of this error except this doc type setting??

Hi Shikha,

You can also check default values of document types under IMG > Material Management > Purchasing > Define Default Values for Document Types.

Also check OMDV for conversion of planned order to Purchase requisition document type.

Shikha,

You can do one more thing, go to change mateiral in MM02 for plant 1108 and set MRP group as Z100. you can find MRP group in MRP1 screen. Save and re-run MRP.

Reagrds,

Rohit,

I tried changing MRP group in Material but its giving the same error.

But one thing i have observed is that :

under IMG > Material Management > Purchasing > Define Default Values for Document Types

there is not any doc type assignment to t-code MD02 so may be it should be added there..??

in the screenshot you can see:

Is this a problem ?

Shikha,

First of all it should NOT be NB as you do not have NB document type in your system. it should be changed to correct one (eg ZPR).

No Shikha,

MD02 is not needed here. this is only for default document type for manual transactions.

Ok Rohit.. Will try to change doc type.Thank you so much for your support.I am closing this thread

Hi Rohit,

Actually that setting cannot be changed as these doc types are standard doc types so i cannot place ZPR in place of NB in OMDV.

Actually my scenario was:

I created FERT material with on ROH. when i was running MRP(MD02),System was giving error. I changed MRP group in both FERT and ROH and saved. Now its not giving any error . I am able to run MRP for my material.

All your suggestions were correct and i think everything was correctly maintined except MRP group in both materials.So the issue is solved now.

Thank You!!

Shikha
