SAP Purchasing Info Record

This tutorial talks about SAP Purchasing Info Record in Materials Management.

SAP purchasing info record is an important source of information related to a buyer. When users are
creating purchasing documents, the data from SAP purchasing info record is transferred to the
purchasing document as default values.

SAP purchasing info record is considered to be part of SAP MM master data and is used to record
purchasing information with the vendor for certain materials. In this master data, we store information
about last purchasing price, planned delivery time, reminder for invoice verification, vendor material
number, etc. Usually, the SAP system is configured to maintain SAP purchasing info record automatically
when new purchase orders or contracts are created.

It is also possible to store texts in SAP purchasing info records. There are different types of texts:

 Internal Text: This information is maintained for internal company usage and is transferred from the
info record to line items in a purchase order. As this text is for internal usage, it is not printed on any
print forms.
 Purchase Order Text: The purpose of this text is to add explanations for a line item in a purchasing
document and this text is printed on the print form (that will be sent to a vendor).

SAP purchase info record is divided into three levels:

1. Client
2. Purchasing Organization
3. Purchasing Organization / Plant

The client level contains the following information:

 Order Unit
 Administration Data
 Info Record Memo

The purchasing organization level contains the following information:

 Prices and conditions, e.g. discounts, freight, custom duty, etc.


 Purchase order text and other texts
 Delivery time
 Minimum quantity

The purchasing organization / plant level contains the following information:

 Prices and conditions, e.g. discounts, freight, custom duty, etc.


 Purchase order text and other texts
 Delivery time
 Minimum quantity
The information maintained at the purchasing organization / plant level will take a priority over the
information maintained at the purchasing organization level.

In addition, by selecting Info Category you can determine for which procurement process an info record
will be maintained. For example, you can choose the following options: Standard, Subcontracting,
Consignment or Pipeline.

SAP purchasing info record can be created manually as well automatically. In this tutorial, we will show
how to create an info record manually. To create a new SAP purchase info record manually, you should
