Question:
When I create the new material for this Plant, I can't select any thing from Special Procurement in MRP View 2. It says no value. But if I create this material for other Plant, then I was able to select the Special Procurement. Why?
Also, I noticed the field Procurement Type is disable and defualted with value F. Why I can't change it?
Plesae help me.
Answer:
Hi,
Standard SPKs 10-80 are not plant specific thus you could select from the list. Anyway, in customizing/SPRO (Define special procurement Types), you can check wether SPKs are created in that plant.
>> PT type disabled and defaulted to F.
Try to ask help from your MM configurer (if you are a user) and check your authorizations, variant, etc.
Cheers!

And where is the config for this too?
Answer:
SPRO path for SPK ? Matls mgt -> Consumption based planning -> Master data -> Define SP type.

Yes, I have some Plant defined here. The Plant BBB has Special Procument is set to U (Stock Transfer) maintained and the Supplying Plant AAA is entered. The Special Procurement Key is miatiained in the Material now.
But when I run MRP for this Material, it is PR created, not STR. Why? I have the supplying plant appear in this PR though.

Did you check the item category for the PR? Is it "U"? If it is then stock transfer is working.
You can choose in MRP run either planned order or PR unless you set the system to automatically create a PO (STO) for that (material).

You can choose in MRP run either planned order or PR unless you set the system to automatically create a PO (STO) for that (material). Where can we choose to create Planned Order or PR? And how can we create the STO automatically via MRP?

You can find it in mrp planning run (i.e. md02). There is a setting in the material master for automatic PO and also, see source list. There is no direct conversion during the planning run but I think it's ME59 (?).
Good luck!
