Define Purchasing Value Keys

In the material master record, you can store rules governing:

• The issue of reminders and urging letters (expediters) with respect to nearly due and overdue deliveries

• The admissibility of over- and underdeliveries ("overages" and "underages")

• Order acknowledgment requirements for PO items

• Shipping/packaging instructions

In this step, you stipulate these rules in the purchasing value key.

This data appears as default data in purchasing documents and is taken from the material master record (unless a purchasing info record exists, in which case it is taken from the latter source).
