When creating a purchase requisition from a production operation - so-called external processing in SAP - you order the operation work from a vendor, not a material with a material master record. In your purchase requisition you will not find a material number, only a material short text which is the same as your operation short text.
In case this does not answer your question please provide more details and maybe screenshots and which SAP ERP software you are using. Thank you!
