3608132 - Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Generating Separate Purchase Requisitions for Common Raw Materials

The system generates separate purchase requisitions for the same raw material across different finished goods during the MRP process. The expectation is for the system to consolidate these into a single collective purchase requisition.

1. Run the MRP process with multiple finished goods that share common raw materials.
2. Observe that the system generates separate purchase requisitions for the same raw material instead of consolidating them into a single collective purchase requisition.

The system generates separate purchase requisitions for the same raw material because the requirement dates differ. In standard SAP MRP behavior, requisitions with different requirement dates cannot be combined.

To ensure MRP generates a collective purchase requisition for raw materials shared by different finished goods, the 'Individual/Collective Requirements' indicator in the material master should be set to '2 – Collective Requirements', and the requirement dates must be the same across all demands.
