You want to select the <ZH>Reservation/Purc. req</> indicator in the
network header.
You want to assign a component to a network and the
<ZH>Reservation/Purc. req</> indicator has been set in the network or
the activity or network has been released.
However the system cannot generate the purchase requisition because,
for instance
The purchasing data are incomplete
The purcahsing view has not been maintained in the material master
The material has been marked for deletion.

System Response

Depending upon which of the three actions you wanted to perform, a
component will either be assigned or released; the indicator to
generate a purchase requisition will however not be set.

How to fix this error?

If you want to generate a purchase requisition, first enter the
purchasing data necessary for the component. Alternatively check
whether the component has been marked for deletion
