Single PR for multiple material for one vendor

[Pardeep_2606]

Hi Everyone 

I have one requirement from customer. The requirement.

Let's say they have one vendor XYZ and it deliver 10 different materials now these materials can be used in n number of fg or sfg. So what customer want is the moment he runs MRP with respect to the vendor there should be only one PR to be created for all the 10 materials. means if 10 materials BoM components in let's say 20 SFG so once MRP run so for the dependent requirement one PR TO be created rather than of multiple 

Kindly help me to achieve this 

Thanks

Hi Raymond

Thanks for the reply

I read the note and understood the SAP Standard behavior, can we achieve the requirement that I mentioned anyhow through any Customization if not then I will try to convince the Customer.

AFAIK not without changing standard behaviour in a significant and risky way (what is the purpose of this request, what cannot be done without this grouping of PR)

Hi @Raymond

So basically, customer want that they only create one PR after the MRP run for all the materials that were being procured from the one vendor and don't want to create multiple PR after the MRP Run. That's why we are not thinking about creating multiple PR and club in one.

Basically, what the customer is asking for is not a request, but a (wrong) feature.

Hello @Pardeep_2606 

As @RaymondGiuseppi explained that is not possible in standard, no configuration can achieve that. I doubt if it's doable with any official enhancement either. The reason is twofold:

1. MRP runs on material level, material by material and it creates a supply plan for the material that is currently planned. Thus, MRP can't consolidate different materials into a single PR.
2. A vendor number or a source of supply in general is an optional information on PRs created by MRP. Thus, in general case it is not possible to consolidate materials purchased from a single vendor into a single PR, as the vendor number might not be there yet.

I'd strongly advise that you challenge the requirement. You need to explain the customer that the consolidation is done during PRs into PO conversion. You can easily convert multiple PRs into a single PO. The customer needs to get educated how to do that in the system.
