Procurement Monitoring 

Purpose

This component provides you with monitoring applications for purchase orders, contracts, and budgets. These enable you to monitor the procurement process and procurement-relevant dates from planning the items to be ordered to goods receipt.

A central, automatic scheduling calculates the operational dates (such as the transfer date) and informative dates (such as the sales sample date), which you can monitor in SAP Event Management (SAP EM) and which the system posts for each order item in the form of an event handler. The system then displays the dates for each article item in the form of a dateline in the Workbench applications for seasonal procurement named below. Procurement monitoring is divided into the following areas:

·        Purchase Order Monitoring

¡        Active Purchase Order Monitoring

¡        Reactive Purchase Order Monitoring

·        Contract Monitoring

·        OTB Monitoring
