Process Flow: Purchase Order and Goods Receipt

Posting
Purchasing from vendors and from other plants within your own company is
handled in SAP ECC using documents. Employees can report requirements
for externally-procured materials to the Purchasing department using purchase
requisitions. For one-time transactions or for new contacts, Purchasing can firs
t
create a request for quotation and enter a corresponding quotation at a later da
te.
The system supports the buyer in comparing quotations from various vendors.
A purchase order can refer to a quotation, but also directly to a requirement
coverage request.
Master data plays a particularly important role in this context; goods procured
externally have a separate Purchasing view in their master data. Vendors usually
receive a vendor master record that contains address data, accounting data, and
default values for purchase order processing (such as delivery conditions). If t
he
same material is procured regularly from a specific vendor with fixed conditions
(prices, purchase quantities, delivery times), you can create a purchasing
information record for the relevant combination of material and vendor. The
system accesses this master data when purchasing documents are created, and
enters data in the relevant fields.
