Reproducing the Issue

Cause
The Maintain PIRs Fiori app (F3446) is specifically designed to simplify processes and focus on managing the most common, high-volume scenarios. To achieve this, the dropdown lists are intentionally curated to display only the most frequently used requirement types.
The KSV requirement type is a more specialized option, typically associated with structured or automated processes such as:
- Forecast Runs: Generating a total forecast that is then distributed.
- Subcontracting Planning: Planning for components provided to a subcontractor.
Its availability in the "Open Schedule Copying Total Forecast Runs" (F2579) app highlights its intended use. This app serves as the standard and recommended tool for creating and managing this specific requirement type.
Resolution
The system intentionally restricts manual creation of KSV in the "Maintain PIRs" app to guide users toward the correct, designed process.
Use the "Open Schedule Copying Total Forecast Runs" (F2579) app, as it is specifically tailored for managing KSV requirement types.
