thanks for that. can i just confirm my understanding, I can create PR if there is any deficit stock....

how about if the qty reflect is 2199 in MD04 and 2162 in the PR ? Can you give me a Clear explanation for this?

When would table RESB populated? would this be because of Purchase Requisition transaction. ME53N?

thanks a lot!

Ellen,

Creating of PR is not block by the stock availability and PR is just a planning Item.

If a user needs some material they can create a reservation or PR based on the design of the SAP system in their client. If user creates a reservation based on the stock and MRP parameters defined in the MRP views system creates a PR if required.

RESB table gets populated only if reservation exists for that material. If the PR/PO is subcontract releated then system creates subcontract requirement/reservation for the components, in that case RESB table is populated.
