Process Overview
Learning Objective Understand and perform a purchasing process cycle Time 140 min
Scenario In order to process a complete purchasing process you will take
on different roles within the GBI company, e.g. purchasing agent,
warehouse worker, accounting clerk. Overall, you will be working in the
Materials Management (MM) and the Financial Accounting (FI)
departments.
Employees involved Joyce Hausman (Contract Administrator)
Sandeep Das (Warehouse Supervisor)
Sergey Petrov (Warehouse Employee)
Wilton Saban (Inventory Supervisor)
Alberto Conti (Technical Office
Assistant) Aura Maxwell (Buyer)
Tatjana Karsova (Receiving Clerk)
Silvia Cassano (Accounts Payable Specialist)
Shuyuan Chen (Chief Accountant)
Before you start the purchasing process you will create a new vendor (Mid-West Supply) in
Lincoln. Then you create a new master record for a trading good (Chain Lock) in the system.
After checking the stock (that will be zero) you start the procurement process by creating a
purchase requisition. As the buyer, you will create a request for quotation and enter the
submitted bids from various vendors – including your new vendor. After evaluating and
accepting the quotation of Mid-West Supply you will create a purchase order referencing the
RFQ. You will then post the goods receipt and verify the physical receipt into stock. After
creating two partial invoices you will post the payments to the vendor and review the G/L
accounts.

Suppliers are established in both accounting and purchasing. The vendor Vendor master
master record requires three views – general, accounting, and purchasing in
order to be active. Vendors can be created centrally meaning that all views
are generated concurrently, or responsibility can be distributed to
accounting and purchasing for creating and maintaining their respective
views. In this case study, central creation will be used to enter all of the
needed data. In this way, this vendor record will contain all of the
information necessary to conduct business transactions.
To create a new vendor, use the app Maintain Business Partner. Fiori App

CASE STUDY
Note When you procure a material directly for consumption, no material

master record is necessary.
The characteristics of consumable materials with a master record are as
follows:
 There is no value-based inventory management.
 The system automatically updates consumption in the material master
record.
In the SAP application, the term “consumable material” is any material
subject to procurement whose value is settled using cost element accounts or
asset accounts. Therefore, a consumable material is procured directly for an
CASE STUDY
account assignment object. When procuring a consumable material without a

material master record, you have to enter a short description, a material
group, and a purchase order unit in the document manually. You have to do
this because you cannot fetch this data from a master record. This is not true
for a material with a master record. For these materials, the material type
controls whether inventory management takes place on a value basis.
