11.Question: What is the significance of procurement type in material master and its types?

Answer: Procurement types tells what type of procurement.

We have Internal procurement and external procurement also both, we can control this in 2 ways.

1.OMS2

2.Material master-MRP2

OMS2- mention Internal/External purchase orders

0/1/2-Options- If required for all materials under this one.

MM01-MRP2

Procurement type:

F- External procurement with material level (One material)

X- Both Procurement types

Blank- No procurement

Scenario: 

Once the buyer requested to change the procurement type for 1 material type, where he received a workflow contract from stakeholders in that procurement type mentioned as X and buyer wants it as F, because of region issues.

Solution: 

We mentioned X is both procurement like internal and external and again we requested please check the plants is it within your region or out of scope region.
