Explanation

To trigger consignment purchase requisitions from MRP, two things must be in place in the material master. Option D is correct because the MRP 2 view must have the special procurement type set to external procurement and the special procurement key set to the consignment indicator (e.g., "K"), which signals MRP to generate consignment requisitions instead of standard ones. Option C is correct because a source list (order book) entry must exist with at least one consignment info record as the source of supply - without this, MRP has no valid consignment source to reference when creating the requisition.

Option A is wrong because the default storage location for external procurement controls where goods are placed upon receipt, not what type of procurement requisition is generated. Option B is wrong because there is no such thing as a "special planning group for consignment" in SAP - planning groups are used to segment MRP runs, not to define procurement categories.

Memory tip: Think "Source + Special" - you need a Source list pointing to a consignment record (C) and a Special procurement key set to consignment in the material master (D). Both must point in the same direction for MRP to "see" consignment as the intended procurement path.
