2877138 - Manually Created Purchase Request is Not Visible in Either the Product Planning Screen (Supply Planning) or Monitor Purchase Requests Screen (Supply Control)

Symptom

Now you go to the Supply Planning work center and open the relevant Product Planning details, but the Purchase Request is not displayed. You also navigate to the Supply Control work center and try to find the relevant Purchase Request via the Monitor Purchase Requests view, but here also, the Request is not displayed.

Environment

Cause

Resolution

Once you create the Purchase Order for the manual Purchase Request, the Purchase Order ID will be visible in the Product Planning screen.
