Processing the Purchase Requisition (SAP Library

Processing the Purchase Requisition

Use

The purchase requisition is converted to a purchase order using optimized work flow management (assign purchase requisition to a source of supply and process).

In practice, the buyer often receives a list containing several purchase requisitions that are converted collectively in purchase order processing. In our case, the list contains only one purchase requisition.

No differences arise as a result of this in processing.
