3558196 - Purchase requisition number not created after releasing the production order

Symptom

When creating a production order involving subcontracting processes, the system fails to automatically generate a purchase requisition number.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a production Order.
  2. Release the order
  3. The system doesn't generate the purchase requisition.

Cause

The issue is caused by incorrect configuration settings. The External Processing flag should be set to '+' (externally processed operation) but is currently set to 'X' (Internally processed operation/external processing possible).

Resolution

Check the configuration maintained for the control key assigned to the externally processed operation in Activity/SSCUI 'Define Control Key' (ID 500223).

For externally processed operation, 'External Processing' field must be filled with '+' (externally processed operation).
