SAP Note 88266 - Fixed indicator PReq - MD04

Component : Purchase Requisitions -

Summary :
In SAP transaction MD04, purchase requisitions may incorrectly display as "fixed" even if their "fixed" indicator is unset. This occurs due to material planning's special conditions for treating purchase requisitions as "fixed": manually modified MRP data, status defined by release procedures, or conversion into subsequent documents such as RFQs or purchase orders. These conditions are interlinked with the MD04's interpretation rules, aligning with SAP's intended design, though misconstrued as inconsistencies. No system correction is required since the behavior aligns with design specifications.

Key words :
purchase order - status 'b' transaction md04 interprets, manually change mrp-relevant data, current stock/requirements list, quotation - status 'a', apparent 'data inconsistency', transaction md04, release status, md04 reason, automatic change, purchase requisitions
