Requisition in SAP
Purchasing is a component of SAP MM module and its process can be
roughly depicted in below diagram.
We will cover several topic in this leson that can help understand and
create the purchase requisition.
You will se how the source determination works and why it's useful, as
well as how this source can be assigned to our purchasing document.
Finally, you will find out how to process the purchase requisition, from its
creation until converting it to a purchase order.
When you click Continue, you will be back to the initial selection
screen.. You also have a variety of select options and should choose the
most suitable options to narrow the search.
All this is taken into account while determining the best possible source
for a requirement.
If not, system takes source list into account and searched for valid
sources there. A source list consists of fixed and blocked records. Fixed
records are for fixed vendors for specific material valid for a certain
period. Blocked records cannot be used as a source while they are in
this status.
Finally system looks up the outline agreement and info record for
credible sources and assigns them the requisition. You have seen in the
previous lesson what is a purchase info record, and outline agreement is
a scheduling agreement or contract which is also used in the source
determination process as input information.
To use the source determination, you need to tick the Determine Source
check-box on the pruchase requisition initial screen.
Assignment of source
System can perform background or foreground source assignment.
If the search is done in the foreground mode, and more than one valid
source is found, a selection list appears from which user should select
the appropriate source. If only one suitable source is found, it is
assigned automatically.
For example, outline agreements have priority over the purchase info
record source and in case of conflict an outline agreement source is
selected.
You can see how two sources are offered by the system, from which we
have to choose the better manually.
