PM02 configuration

I am reviewing my PM settings. As you know, If contro key PM02 used in work order for non stock components, the system will create purchse requisition for service. Account assignment M and item category D defaulted in pr. Could you please tell me where it is configured in img.

---

As per standard settings Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and settings for Order Types -> Control key -> Maintain Control Keys

Control Key PM02 : Plant maintenance - external
Generates PR.

Control Key PM03 : Plant maintenance-External(services)
Generates PR with item category D.
In the config settings for this control key under
External processing-->Service check box is ticked.

Settings for PR document type and default item category can be done at Maintenance and Service Orders -> General Data -> Define Acct Assgnment category/Document Type
 

Thanks for reply. And if I tick the services for PM02, how does system know to provide D as item category in pr. Is there any further setting in PM or purchase.
 

I think there is something wrong with the customising of the control key :

- PM02 should result in account assingnment F, item category 'blank'
- PM03 should result in account assingnment F, item category 'D'

I suppose in your system, in the customising op the PM02 key, the 'services' flag is checked. In a standard configuration, this should be unchecked.
 

Account assignment is taken as maintenance order. But how the system defaults D as item category when services checked. In PM, I have seen the assigning of document type for maintenance order only. I don't know how the value is default.
 

For PM02 or PM03 when you tick Services Checkbox, Services PR is created and item category is defaulted to 'D'. This must be standard SAP package feature, i.e SAP has coded the package in such a way.
