Use

You can create, change, and display purchase requisitions on a single screen.

Prerequisites

You can switch between Create, Change , and Display modes only if you have the necessary authorizations.

Procedure

Create Purchase Requisition

In the SAP menu, choose Logistics → Materials Management → Purchasing → Purchase Requisition → Create.

The Create Purchase Requisition screen appears.

The document overview shows you the purchasing documents according to the last-used variant – unless specified otherwise in your personal settings.

You can copy any purchase requisition items listed in the Document Overview to the document you are currently creating by selecting the items with the cursor and dragging them onto the shopping basket symbol with the left-hand mouse button depressed.

Enter the necessary data in the relevant screen areas.

You need only enter part of the name in the fields Vendor Material Plant Material Group, and Storage Location . The system is able to automatically determine the existing vendors, for example, from the text fragment you enter.

You can store default values.

If, for example, you have stored a plant and a requisitioner in the Default Values , you needn’t re-enter this data manually every time. Instead, the system proposes it automatically in each case.

Item overview: for example, material, quantity, delivery date, and plant

If you accidentally entered the wrong material, you can change it without having to create a new item. You can also change the item category and plant without having to create a new item.

Item details: for example, account assignment and source of supply

You can carry out a source determination process on the Source of Supply tab page. Choose Assign Supply Source .

If the system determines several sources for a material, these are proposed to you in a list. You can then select the desired source from this list. The assigned source is then displayed with the green light symbol .

From this list, you can navigate to outline agreements or purchasing info records and carry out a simulation by double-clicking with the mouse.

Check the data entered.

If necessary, choose Header Details and Item Details to expand the detail data areas.

Choose in the upper left-hand corner of the relevant screen area to collapse the area again.

Processing incorrect items

A status in the status column shows you whether items contain errors. Click on the status column for the relevant item in order to process the error.

To access the error log containing the messages for all items, choose on the toolbar.

Choose to save the purchase requisition.
