Question:
Hi,
I can't remember the reason/diffrence between "*" and withouth "*" in for PR/PO number in MD04,
MRP Data Element column. Does anyone know? i.e. If I have the "*" behide the PR/PO number (5000002010/00010 *), what does it mean?
Thanks
Answer:
Hello,
By pressing F1 at the MRP element data you can see the answer. The system only sets the firming indicator (*) for manually changed planned orders or purchase requisitions. If a firming indicator is set then the system will no longer change the planned orders or the purchase requisitions.
Hope that helps.

But I have a SA created manually. And this SA number has "*" appears at the back in MD04. i.e. 8000012000/0010 *
Also, I have a Planned Order created by MRP, it also has "*" appears at the back but no manual change made to thsi Planned Order.
Do you know why?

Answer:
For a SA, if you have a "*", it's because the scheduled line is fixed (check box on the scheduled line.
Usually, a "*" means "Fixe", "Firm" or "Released"
Hope this will help.
