- The special procurement key (SPK) is applied in material master data whenever a product is transferred from one plant to another
In PF1, the SPK is only maintained for transferences between plants of the same company code
In WP1, the SPK is only maintained for transferences between plants of the different companies
Example: A material 1234 is produced in Plant a and then transferred to plant b.
In the master data of the material code 1234 in plant b a code "xx procurement from plant a" is entered in the field SpecProcurem Costing
If the SPK does not exist, a request to IS Team needs to be raised.
Example in SAP:
- The material is produced by a third party, use 30
- The material is a byproduct that has no production version use 20
- In other cases leave it in blank.
The Special Procurement key is maintained in the Costing 1, but it can also be maintained by the supply chain in the view MRP2 .
