2483439 - /SAPAPO/MRPACUST01 setting affects vendor and subcontractor

In customizing "Global Parameters and Default Values for MRP Areas" (t-code /SAPAPO/MRPACUST01)

• "Processing with Stock Transport Requisitions" is activated
• "Stock Transfer Docs" is set to "1 - Stock Transport Requisitions for MRP Areas".

With this setting the system creates stock transport requisitions for MRP areas (location type 1007) instead of stock transfer reservations. This setting can also be used to set stock transport requisition for other location types, in particular also for subcontractor locations (location types 1050 and 1011). However this creates issues in the subsequent subcontracting process as SAP Standard does not support stock transport requisitions for component provision from plant to subcontractor in subcontracting scenario (see online help chapter "Process": "If a transportation lane from the plant to the subcontractor exists, the system creates stock transfer reservations...".)
