k,
I only know that we can maintain the outline agreements then run the MRP to create the schedule line for them. Use the feature maybe can solve your problem. Just like you said, one PR multiple items is impossible.

Hi Jackey,

Just a minor correction that this is not the case of Outline Agreement but Scheduling Agreement since in regard to Outline Agreement, the PRs will be generated during planning run which will, then, be converted into Release Order. In regard to the case of Scheduling Agreement, with further setting in Source List as MRP relevant (with selection parameter '2' to be entered in MRP field of Source Record), the planning run will generate directly the SA Delivery Schedule Line Item. Neither PR nor PO document is generated in this particular case.
Hi Anthony,

No, it is true that you can not generate multiple-line item PRs during planning run (for the case of stock items from Work Orders) and this is the standard feature of SAP. However, it is not clear to me why you would like to create such multiple-line item PRs during planning run. Any specific business reason?
Cheers,
HT

Dear HT,
The reason is very simple, our planner don't want so many PRs generated, if the vendor is the same, all lines should be combined to one PR, otherwise, during PO creation with reference to PR, our planner should to find which items is linked to the same vendor, then convert them to one PO. this will increase their effort.
Thanks to your support.
Anthony
Answer:
Dear HT,
You are right, I just didn't say the detail setting.
Answer:
Hi Anthony,
It is true to say that this can be well covered in MM module. What you will have to do is to set up the Outline Agreement or Info Record for your vendor and material and then create the source record for this vendor- material relationship and make sure that this source record is set as MRP relevant. Once MRP is run, the vendor is automatically defaulted to your PRs. If in your material master, you have defined the same purchasing group for various material numbers, then with Transaction ME59, it is feasible that you can combine various PRs of the same purchasing group by flagging onto the 'Per Purchasing Group' indicator checkbox. Make a trial test and let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
HT
