HI,

in the standard SAP, procurement type "X" is used for both in and ext. But sadly that internal is always take precedence, should u need external, MRP controller need to convert to ext (PR).

Maybe need manual work, for example you can use procurement "X"  with firming period, for all immediate requirement (i assummed unplanned additional requirement) you put outside the firming period.

So MRP controller have idea that inside firming period is external and outside firming period is additional requirement that need to be produced.

Maintain the procurement type X

and maintain the Worksheduling view, purchase view

During MRP run, System will create a plan order

if you want to do in house production

Convert the plan order into Production order through (MD04, CO40 for individual conversion, CO41 for collective conversion, CO48 for partial conversion).

If you want to do in external procurement

Convert the planned order into purchase requisition for external procurement material (MD14 or MD15 or MD04)
