Definition

Specifies for the following fields whether the default values for external materials are determined from the default value profile or from the material master record:

  • G/L account
  • Material group
  • Purchasing group
  • Purchasing organization
  • Unloading point
  • Goods recipient

This indicator is only effective if it is set in a default value profile that is assigned to a maintenance or service order as an "External material" profile.

Use

If the indicator is not set, the system determines the default values as follows:

  • Case 1: You enter the external material manually in the order.
    1. The system uses the default values that it can derive from the data in the material master record of the non-stock component.
    2. If it cannot derive any data or there is no material master record, it uses the default values from the default value profile.
    3. If no values are defined in the default value profile either, the system issues an error message and prompts you to add the data manually.
  • Case 2: The external material is transferred to the order via another SAP object.
    1. The system transfers the default values that are in the SAP object:
      2. Task list --> the default values from the BOM
      OCI catalog --> the data that the system determines from the material group in the catalog
      BAPI --> the data that is passed to the interface
    2. If there are no default values in the SAP object, the system uses the values it can determine from the material master record.
    3. If it cannot derive any data or if there is no material master record, it uses the default values from the default value profile.
    4. If no values are defined in the default value profile either, the system issues an error message and prompts you to add the data manually.

If the indicator is set, the system determines the default values as follows:

  • Case 1: You enter the external material manually in the order.
    1. The system uses the default values from the default value profile.
    2. If no values are defined in the default value profile, it uses the data from the material master record for the external material.
    3. If it cannot derive any data or there is no material master record, the system issues an error message and prompts you to add the data manually.
  • Case 2: The external material is transferred to the order via another SAP object.
    1. The system uses the default values from the default value profile.
    2. If no values are defined in the default value profile, it uses the data in the SAP object.
      3. Task list --> the default values from the BOM
      OCI catalog --> the data that the system determines from the material group in the catalog
      BAPI --> the data that is passed to the interface
    3. If there are no default values in the SAP object, the system uses the data it can derive from the material master record.
    4. If it cannot derive any data or there is no material master record, the system issues an error message and prompts you to add the data manually.

Note

User-defined default values that are stored in the maintenance or service order for external procurement have priority over default values that are defined in Customizing. So if you have defined your own values in the order and no data can be determined from the material master record, the system uses the user-defined values, independent of whether this indicator is set or not.

Dependencies

The system behavior described here applies to all types of transfer of non-stock components to the order, so also for transfer from BOMs (for example, via an assembly), from task lists, from an OCI catalog, or using BAPIs.

Exception:

For the transfer of non-stock components via batch input or maintenance calls, the user-defined default values for external procurement are not taken into account, not even when the indicator is set in the default value profile.
