ISSUE-At PO 4513654336 In SC 1003388988 al the line are create in urgency code 99 but In ATB /Prq 4003232043 the code from 10-70 has suddenly changed to code 30 in SAP.
Reference Ticket:-https://sbs-support.solvay.com/a/tickets/5169223.
Request: To Understand why a SC created with a Requirement Urgency 99 (no urgent) was transformed into a Requirement Urgency 30 (urgent) once PREQ / PO generated in SAP.
SOLUTION:
There is an automation in SAP that automatically changes the default 99 to a 30 when the PReq/PO item is considered as Critical OR Capex:
- The criticality part requires a Material code, since this is where the critical flag is set; if a material is set as critical, the 99 becomes a 30.
- The Capex part checks the "Solvay Capex Rule***" and if the item fulfils the rule it is changed from 99 to 30.
Some lines of that PReq have the default 99 value while others were automatically changed by SAP to value 30: This happened because:
- The ones that were automatically changed to value 30 are assigned to a CAPEX order, while
- The one that kept the default 99 are assigned to a non-capex order.
The value 30 informs the Service Centers that the items must be handled with special care and attention.
