How to close the Purchase Requisition which was created from Make To Order Sales Order?

Make to Order business Process flow:

Create MTO Sales Order – VA01
System creates Purchase Requisition automatically – ME53N
Create Purchase Order – ME21N/ME59N
Post Goods Receipt – MIGO
Post Vendor Invoice – MIRO
Payment to Vendor – F110
Create Outbound Delivery against MTO Sales Order – VL01N
Post Goods Issue – VL02N
Create Billing Document – VF01
Clear Customer balances – F-28

If the business has sufficient stock in normal stock, they will proceed with below steps without procuring from the vendor. Below step will avoid the steps 3 to 6 in the above flow.

Create MTO Sales Order – VA01
Update the block indicator in PR – ME52N
Transfer normal stock to Sales Order Stock with 413 Movement type – MIGO
Create Outbound Delivery against MTO Sales Order – VL01N
Post Goods Issue – VL02N
Create Billing Document – VF01
Clear Customer balances – F-28

Requirement: Business has sufficient stock in normal unrestricted stock, so they want to close the Purchase Requisition which was created automatically from MTO Sales order to avoid additional procurement.

Solution: You can’t delete or Close the PR items manually with ME52N as those are created from Sales Orders. For this case, you need to follow the block ID solution to inactivate the PR. The PRs with block IDs are not considered by ME59N during auto PO creation.
