Material Reallocate Issue (MRI) rules must be pre-defined for use in the Reallocate Issues screen (C.20.28). When a Material Reallocate Issue report is created, a procedure automatically generates the MRI number using the MRI rule.
MRI rules can be defined on the C.10.17 MRI Rules screen.
To define a new MRI rule, enter the rule name in the MRI Rule field and descriptions in the Short Desc and Description fields. The naming rule must be entered in the MRI Definition field. For the rule definition, you can use fixed parts and a sequence number. The number of digits of the sequence is defined by a number of 0s (zeros) delimited by the special character #. You can use the LOV to select this part of the rule. The fixed parts of the rule can be used to mark the type of the document (MRI), to indicate the project, or anything else.
The example rule in the picture above would create a material reallocate issue report like ‘MRI-0001-ZA’.
A MRI rule must be assigned on the C.10.21 Set Environment screen to users who are allowed to create material reallocate issue reports on C.20.28.
