The special procurement code is used to calculate an integrated margin. If there is no special procurement type in the costing view of the material master record, the system will use the special procurement type in the MRP view.

It is used in the following cases: 

  • The material is transferred from another plant

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"

 

  • 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 code can also be maintained by the supply chain in the view MRP2, in the field Special procurement.
