Use

Use this procedure if you know which vendor is to receive the order.

Prerequisites

Before creating a PO manually, you require the following information:

Delivery date

You can either enter the desired delivery date or leave the field empty. If the field is empty, the system determines the delivery date from the current date plus the planned delivery time for the material.

Account assignment

For each item to be posted to a consumption account, you need the account assignment category and the account assignment data (for example, the number of the cost center to be charged).

For more information on this topic, refer to the section Account Assignments .

Material number

If a material master record exists for the material, you need the number of the material to be ordered.

If no material master record is defined for the material, you need: a short description of the material, the account assignment, and the material group.

MPN material number

If you wish to order a material with a manufacturer part number (MPN), you need the MPN material number. For more on this topic, refer to Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) ).

Plant

You need the key of the plant for which the material or service is to be ordered.

Number assignment

If your company uses external number assignment, then you must have a PO number that falls within the permitted number range.

Price

You can either enter the net price yourself or have the system calculate it (by entering pricing conditions).

Vendor

The vendor must have a vendor master record. You enter the number of the vendor master record when you create a PO.
