Valuation price in PR and how to enter PR without Price

In PR screen layout, you can change field selection for valuation price. In your system, you already tick that field to become optional, but it still require input when PR created. You have already check order type and field selection.

So far, when you create PR, there is always a valuation price - Assumption is that SAP gets the PR valuation price from the current unit cost of the material.

In your current business process. User are require to input item in PR, even the valuation price of that item is zero/free goods. So, you set field selection valuation price in PR to just optional. But, it didn't work. in SAP help, it is mention that you can set that field to optional or require.

As far as the business processes requirements are concerned, the Valuation Price of PRs must be set as mandatory since this is one of the main characteristics to set the Release Strategy based on which the release codes are to be allocated for on-line release of PRs in SAP.

In case, this field is optional, once manual PRs are to be maintained, the Release Strategy will not be effective unless end users remember to fill in this Valuation field.

What SAP can additionally provide you is to set this field to "Display" only (via Transaction Code OMF2). However, it is not recommendable from the business processes point of view.

You can only enter a PR WITHOUT PRICE if you did not tick Invoice Receipt under Valuation.

Logically, any items that require an INVOICE RECEIPT must have a price.

SAP Automatic Conversion of PR to PO

You created purchase requisition for various material. During creation of purchase order you used the following path:

Purchase Requisition
.......Follow on function
.........Create Purchase Order
............automatic via purReq.

When you mentioned required purchase requisition number and execute, system give error that purchase requisition does not contain any suitable item.

Is there any setting in customization where you can monitor and use that function.

In an effort for you to successfully use the Transaction Code ME59 to automatically convert the current PR into PO, then the following criteria should be met:

1) In the Purchasing View of the material master data, the "Autom. PO" field must be clicked;

2) In the Purchasing View of the Vendor Master Data, the "Automatic Purchase Order" field must be clicked;

3) The Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record shall be maintained which will allow the automatic copying of unit price and other conditions into PO;

4) The Source List shall be maintained for the nominated vendor which was shown in either the Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record.

or

it might be PR subject to release strategy and not yet released

or

If you're not using a source list or automatic creation of PO, you may need to assign the requisition to a purchase information record using transaction ME56. Then it should appear in ME58.

How Can We Delete Purchase Requisition

Deletion of PR can be done using ME52N

This is only possible provided that no purchase order have been assigned. If po has been created, you can only Flag for Deletion.

To delete the pr, select the line(s) you wish to delete and then click on the dustbin icon.

Delete Purchase Requisition

How to delete the purchase requisitions created through MRP?

Normally, the deletion of such MRP run PRs can be done in the next MRP run as soon as there is any MRP-relevant changes in the stock status of your related material.

It is not necessarily require to make any setting in MRP Group as this setting will be used in case you would like to make a more detailed control of your MRP run process.

The setting of Plant parameters via Transaction OMI8 represents the combination of various settings under Consumption-Based Planning (for instance, the setting of MRP Controller in OMI8 is exactly the same as in Transaction OMD0).

Therefore, if you have already set such parameters in other transactions, then you don't need to perform again in OMI8 Transaction.
