Creating a Purchase Requisition - w. Master Record
If a master record exists for the material that is to be ordered, proceed as follows:
The initial screen appears.
You can specify that Purchasing is to enter into a longer-term purchase agreement with a vendor (these are referred to in the SAP System as "outline agreements") on the basis of the purchase requisition. If you do so, Purchasing cannot issue a purchase order against the requisition: it can only set up such an agreement (either a "contract" or a "scheduling agreement").
In this case, enter rv (for "outline agreement") in the Document type field.
The item overview appears.
– Number of the material to be ordered
– Purchasing group (buyer group) responsible for ordering the material (column PGp.)
– Requested quantity
– Delivery date
(If Purchasing is to set up an outline agreement, you will not be able to specify a delivery date.)
– The number of the receiving plant (Plant column) and the storage location (if known).
The detail screen for the requisition items appears.
You can have the system assign a source to the requisition by choosing Edit ® Assign source. (See Optimized Purchasing.)
