MM-ME51N-Create Purchase Requisition for Account Assignment
Overview
Direct requirements from various departments for O&M materials to be directly charged to cost centre.
Business Process Description Overview

A requisition defines the need for a material or service. It is the primary document in the purchasing
cycle.
Purchase Requisition for materials whose cost will be directly charged to cost centre. The document will
be used to provide material requirements of non valuated materials from all departments to the purchasing
department. The purpose of requisitioning should be expense in nature and the material requisitioned will
not be part of inventory at the plant. The requisition authorizes the Purchasing department to purchase
materials in specific quantities within a specified time frame. It is an internal document and is not used
outside of the company.
Note: A Requisition of this nature will be created for codified materials. Incase material code is not
available; the field may be kept blank. But in that case a proper material text has to be filled along with
the material group so as to help classify the item.
-Such a requisition will lead to direct consumption at time of purchase, thus purchase will not affect
moving average price of the material as cost will be booked to the cost centre entered in requisition.

MM-ME52N-Change Purchase Requisition
Overview
A purchase requisition needs to be changed. A change in quantity and/or required date is the primary triggers for
this transaction.

Prior to changing or deleting a requisition, the requisitioner needs to know the status of the requisition. If
the requisition has been processed into a purchase order, any changes will not be reflected on the
purchase order. The requisitioned needs to contact the buyer directly. If someone else has deleted the
requisition, a new requisition will have to be created, as it is not possible to change a deleted requisition.

SAP provides the capability of creating and issuing single or multiple items Request for Quotes (RFQs).
Vendors must have master records created or be categorized as one time vendors
The Request for quotation may be created w.r.t a Purchase Requisition incase requirement has come from
user department else it can be created without any reference also. Both cases have been discussed in this
document.

Comments
Each RFQ per vendor will receive a separate document number.
Tips and Tricks
The collective number in the header screen of the RFQ is an important method to link the copies of the RFQ issued
to the different vendors. SAP treats each issuance to a different vendor as a separate RFQ document and this
collective number can be used to search and provide comparison reporting.

MM-ME47-Maintain Quotation
Overview
Vendor communicates price for material and as a result the RFQ (Request for Quotation) needs to be updated.

In Purchasing, the RFQ and the quotation form a single document. Prices and conditions quoted by
vendors are
entered in the original RFQ. If you have issued an RFQ to several vendors, you can have the system
display the
most favorable quotation submitted. You can also store the prices and terms of delivery from certain
quotations in an info record
for future accessing. A quotation is legally binding on the vendor for a certain period. The quotation is the
vendors response
to a request for quotation issued by a purchasing organization. A quotation consists of items in which the
total quantity
and delivery date of an offered material or service is specified.

RFQ
Output - Results
Quotation entered
Enter RFQ No. for which a price or prices need to be entered.
Comments

etc.

MM-ME31K-Create Contract with reference to PR
Overview
Business needs should be defined through a requisition. If the requisition needs to be converted into a contract,
then it can either be created w.r.t the requisition or a quotation maintained for a particular vendor.
Here we will find how to create contract with reference to PR

A contract establishes a long-term agreement with a vendor to supply a material or service. Contracts
may either be value contracts or quantity contracts. Value contracts have a ceiling that is a monetary
amount that should not be exceeded. A quantity contact specifies a ceiling of goods or services that the
vendor will provide to us.
This procedure outlines the steps involved in creating a standard quantity or value contract in R/3 for
stock material. Contracts do not specify delivery dates; this is determined when release orders are
issued against the contract.

MM-ME31K-Create Contract with reference to RFQ
Overview
Business needs should be defined through a requisition. If the requisition needs to be converted into a contract,
then it can either be created w.r.t the requisition or a quotation maintained for a particular vendor.
Here we will find how to create contract with reference to RFQ

A contract establishes a long-term agreement with a vendor to supply a material or service. Contracts
may either be value contracts or quantity contracts. Value contracts have a ceiling that is a monetary
amount that should not be exceeded. A quantity contact specifies a ceiling of goods or services that the
vendor will provide to us.
This procedure outlines the steps involved in creating a standard quantity or value contract in R/3 for
stock material. Contracts do not specify delivery dates; this is determined when release orders are
issued against the contract.

reflect in subsequent goods receipts. If someone else has deleted the purchase order, a new purchase order
will have to be created, as it is not possible to change a deleted Purchase order.
