Vendor missing inside PR created through MRP Run

[Jeff008]

Hi Experts,

Our client reported that for a Material, in MD04 they can't see Vendor for a PR. We observed that Vendor isn't available inside PR, hence not shown in MD04. I know this is a well spoken topic, but still i couldn't find solution.

We checked the below,

1. Valid Source list available with only one Fixed Vendor and Source list Usage - 1 (MRP)
2. Source list is in valid date range. MRP run & PR creation date is within this range
3. Vendor info record exists and it isn't blocked or anything
4. Proc Type - F, No special procurement 
5. No Scheduling agreement or Quota arrangement exists
6. Purchase info record exists
7. Material not deleted in plant or client level

All SAP forums repeatedly tell to check the above which all looks Good here. Not sure if i miss any.

Kindly help me to find the root cause why Vendor not assigned not automatically.

Regards,

Jeffrey

Hello

Please observe that the source list validity is checked against the requirement date, not the PR date. 
It means that, if MRP created the PR to cover a requirement that is outside the source list validity date and subsequently rescheduled the PR (to avoid a start in the past, for example), then the source of supply defined in the source list won't be considered.

Caetano

Hi Caetano,

Thanks for your reply !!

Yes i checked and requirement date lies within the Validity date of Source list (6th Nov 2024 - 31.12.9999).

Also noticed that another PR of same Material displays Vendor in MD04, but not this PR. Even MRP has been executed today.

       

Enclosed screenshots if this might help !!

Hi, Can you try to create a new PIR and check if it is available, if not please check SPRO>MM>PIR>Screenlayout.

Hi Sanan, Being a production i cannot change this setting without approvals. And besides as per screenshot shared with Caetano, you can see one PR showing Vendor and the other one without Vendor. Hence i think this shouldn't be the cause.
