Extending Material

[Former Member]

Hi,

I did extend the material using MM01 and when I am using the transaction ME11, I did get a warning message:

"Material 0002345 mainly procured internally (please check your input)".

Can anyone please let me know how to ignore this warning message? Thanks!

If it is just a warning message and you want to ignore it, just hit enter at the warning message, it will allow you to continue.

You are probably trying to extend a material to purchasing org views whereas you material is not externally procured.

Thanks for the replies!

I want to know what change I should do in MM02, to avoid this message? Thanks!

Don’t punch/post data in purchasing views...

Hi Saquib,

It's not possible to delete the data in the Purchasing view, because it has been extended from a Finished goods material. Can you please let me know what changes should be done to avoid this?

Thanks!

As per my understanding you’re extending material from BDC or lets say manually when you hit extend and after that a pop-up will come that ask for certain views which you want to create or not , just uncheck the pur.view . I guess it works. I can’t test it because I’m working on HR system .

Thanks

Just a guess here, you might want to check the special procurment key in one of the MRP views. This may be suggesting that it is internally procured.

the same warning message.In MRP2, after i changed the Procurement type , in scheduling block,

the field "In-house production" still exists and it is taking as 0 days.Can you please let me

know if I have to make any more changes?

Thanks!

In SPRO transaction, follow the path below.

Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG)
-->Logistics - General
   -->Material Master
      -->Basic Settings
         -->Material Types
            -->Define Attributes of Material Types

Select the material type of your material that you are updating. Press the 'Display' icon. In the subsequent screen, check the values for 'Ext. Purchase Orders' and 'Int. Purchase Orders'. If 'Ext. Purchase Orders' = 0, then you cannot procure it externally and so you cannot create a purchasing view to it. If it 1, then both the procurements are allowed but a warning is issued. If you are getting this warning, then probably your material type is configured as 1 for 'Ext. Purchase Orders' as well as for 'Int. Purchase Orders'. Change them both to 2 and you will not get this warning.

But make sure you talk to a MM functional person before you make such changes to the material type just to make your BDC to go through.
