Normally a PR will be automatically generated under schedule line for individual purchase order item (item category: TAB) or third-party item (item category: TAS) order after you save the sales order. Sometimes a problem where PR is generated again even the order already fulfilled or cancel, then SCM people will be confused to look into tcode MD04 and see there is a demand of PR.
The system does not allow you to delete the PR manually through tcode ME52n or even you try to set reason for rejection inside the line item of SO, the PR still exist.
What you need to do is to run this program BANF_OHNE_KDAUF which is provided by SAP to delete off the PR.
After you run the program, the PR will be deleted and cant be available inside MD04 anymore.
Thanks Justin for your generous sharing.
ReplyDeleteWe had a scenario in which the warehouse had somehow managed to fully deliver the stock from non-sales order stock. The conventional method of rejecting the 3rd party sales order item is in this case not available, since the "fully delivered" sales order status prevents entry of a Reason for Rejection. Secondly ME52N won't allow the Purchase Requisition item to be deleted, because of the sales order item link! Meanwhile the Purchase Requisition material requirements were left dangling, open and annoying the planners. Not good.
So, program BANF_OHNE_KDAUF in Transaction SE38 is the only way to delete the redundant PReq requirements.
Stay well,
Michael.
