If you wish to monitor the delivery dates of a material which is not subject to value-based inventory management (e.g. samples), you can create a zero-value purchase order for the material.
You create a zero-value PO in the same way as you create one that has a value. However, you additionally set the
Free of charge
indicator in the item overview. See
Creating a Purchase Order - Without a Master Record
The system will then set the net price of the PO item to 0 and cancel the
IR
(invoice receipt) indicator on the item overview screen. (The indicator is automatically set in the standard system.)
The system will not now accept any incoming invoices relating to this purchase order.
