Hi

I will require sample before procuring actual quantity..Im using Me59 for creating PO from PR.We made one development to create a one more line item in PO for sample quantity.This sample is not required for all the material

My requirement is were can i specify the that these material belongs to sample procurement.

Hi,

You may consider putting in some PO text against the line item which you are declaring as sample. If you have made a development for briging in a line for sample then you may propably consider add a text saying that it is for sample which can be printed in the PO.

Hi

Thank you for your answer...but before creating PO how we know that material belongs to sample procurement.

Before the PO? ...maybe you can make your settings through the Purchase Requisition ('K', FOC, text)...

One more idea...you can e.g. set the batch as 'sample1'...(in PR)

Hi

Creation of PR is not manual. MRP will create the PR automatically..So need to meniton some in material master or anyother master record..

any idea?

Hi,

What is the senario of your sample-procurement?

If you procure sample once or twice a year you can create a PO manually for it...

How are PRs created automatically for sample through MRP run? What is the process? Which kind of sample we're speaking about?

Thanks,

Hello

Create a PO with FREE tab ticked at item level.

Hi,

You can create material of material type SAMP - sample.

Hi

We need to have this for existing all material types...

Hi Prabu,

As I understand your requirement is to differentiate the sample from the goods procured for your normal activity.

If you procure the sample FOC you can set this for your PO-item. You can set the 'Account assignment category' as 'K' if you do not want to have the samples as stocks.

If you pay for them (samples) and you want to have them as stocks maybe you can manually write a remark for the PO item... ('Text' tab at item level in ME22N)

I do not konw whether there's a standard solution to handle this kind of situation...
