 Assigning Requisns. to Sources/Further Processing

Use

This section explains the functions provided by the SAP System for converting requisitions into external purchasing documents (purchase orders, contract release orders, scheduling agreement delivery schedules, RFQs), and the processing options thereby available to you:

  • Assigning means defining the desired source for each purchase requisition item

  • Further processing involves generating lists of requisitions that have been assigned or flagged as outlined above, and the subsequent creation of RFQs, purchase orders, or lines of delivery schedules under scheduling agreements.

Features

The system offers you the following functions:

  • Assign purchase requisitions

This involves assigning sources of supply to individual requisition items

  • Further processing of purchase requisitions via the assignment list

This involves the manual creation of purchase orders or delivery schedule lines from a list of requisitions with assigned sources

  • Assign + process purchase requisitions

This involves assigning sources to listed purchase requisitions and creating RFQs, POs, and delivery schedule lines. (This function is a combination of "Assign Purchase Requisitions" and "Further Processing of Purchase Requisitions via the Assignment List".) You can also change order quantities and delivery dates.)

  • Create purchase orders from requisitions automatically

This involves having the system generate POs automatically from a list of purchase requisitions with assigned sources (see Automatic Generation of POs from Requisitions .)

Assignment and Further Processing of Requisitions: Options

The assignment of sources to and further processing of purchase requisitions are two distinct functions. You can choose whether you wish to perform the functions in two separate steps or in just one.

In two separate steps: If the two functions are to be performed in separate steps (by two different individuals, for example), use the following menu paths:

  • Requisition → Follow-on functions → Assign (for the first step)

See Assigning Purchase Requisitions to Sources

  • Requisition → Follow-on functions → Create purchase order → Via assignment list (for the second step)

See Creating POs, Delivery Schedule Lines, and RFQs from Requisitions

In a single step:If you wish to perform both functions in a single step, choose Requisition → Follow-on functions → Assign + process.
