Material components required for processing the project are purchased from vendors. You take on the role of the purchasing department and also execute the goods receipt for the purchase order.

For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that all materials to be externally procured are obtained from one vendor. This is not advertised in the purchasing department.

The materials are recorded in the valuated project stock. When you receive the goods, you post the materials to the project stock. These materials are only withdrawn when required for the reservation for the network activities. You can check the effects of the different activities in the cost element report and the stock/requirements list.
