Function documentationPurchase Realization Processor

 

This processor evaluates the settlement event registry and initiates the purchase realization for all application document items in which all the settlement event indicators are selected. After purchase realization, application document quantity types are updated in the contract commodity line. If a third party exists, the relevant goods movement indicator is also sent to them.

Features

In third party and intercompany purchase scenarios with contract reference purchases, revenue is realized based on the same settlement event indicators as for revenue recognition in sales scenarios with contract reference.

The Governing Weight and Governing Quality checkboxes are set during contract application, on the physical receipt of the good. The Title Transfer checkbox is set based on incoterms on the contracts during contract application. The Final Price checkbox is set during contract settlement. Purchase realization contains an additional checkbox called the Physical Receipt of Goods.

A goods movement message with indicator 4 is sent to the third party on the physical receipt of the goods after the realization of an application document. This helps the third party update their inventory with the information that all transactions are complete.
