In the R/3 System, the external procurement process is structured in the following way: Determination of requirements: The user department responsible can pass a requirement for
materials to the Purchasing department manually, via a purchase requisition. If you have set a MRP procedure for a material in the material master, the R/3 System automatically generates a purchase requisition.
Determination of the source of supply: The R/3 System supports the buyer responsible in many different ways when determining sources of supply. You can use determination of the source of supply to create requests for quotation (RFQs) and then to enter the quotations.
Vendor selection: The system supports you during vendor selection by comparing the prices of the different quotations. By comparing quotations, you can establish, for example, the most favorable vendor. You can send rejection letters automatically.
Purchase order processing: When you enter purchase orders, the system helps you with the entries. Purchase order monitoring: The buyer can monitor the processing status of the purchase order at
any time online. The buyer can, for example, determine whether goods or an invoice have been received for the corresponding purchase order item. The system also supports dunning procedures.
Goods receipt: The system compares the goods receipt quantity with the purchase order quantity. Invoice Verification: Vendor invoices are checked for accuracy of prices and contents. Payment processing: Financial Accounting normally deals with vendor payments.

Planning, Reporting, and Analysis
You can create a request for quotation to determine the source of supply for a material or service. After sending the requests for quotation to the desired vendors, you can enter the quotations received.
You can compare the quotations received using a price comparison list. You can then select the most favorable quotation and convert it to a purchase order. If required, the R/3 System automatically generates rejection letters for quotations that were not accepted.
For goods receipts referencing a purchase order, the system compares the goods receipt quantity with the purchase order quantity. You can set underdelivery or overdelivery tolerances in the purchase order.
In Invoice Verification, you enter the vendor invoices received and check the contents and prices for accuracy. If a purchase order is referred to during verification, the system checks the accuracy of the contents using information in the purchase order and goods receipts.

Rejection
After establishing that a material or service is required, the Purchasing department needs to convert the purchase requisition into a purchase order. The SAP R/3 System can support the Purchasing department using the requests for quotation in the source determination.
First, you enter a request for quotation for the appropriate material or the desired service. You can enter the request for quotation manually or with reference to a purchase requisition. The second option has the advantage that the information already in the purchase requisition is adopted directly in the request for quotation. Then you allocate the desired vendors to the request for quotation. The system determines the address from the data in the respective vendor master record.
Then you send the requests for quotation to the vendors, who send you quotations. You enter the quotations and the conditions contained in them for the associated requests for quotation.
You determine the most favorable quotation by means of a quotation comparison. You also have the option of saving the conditions of quotations in which you are interested as
purchasing info records.

Master data
A purchase order is a formal request to a vendor to supply certain goods or services under the stated conditions.
Purchase orders can be created without reference, or with reference to a purchase requisition, a request for quotation or another purchase order.
When you enter the purchase order data, the system suggests values to use. For example, the ordering addresses, as well as the terms of payment and freight (Incoterms) are suggested from the vendor master record. If you have maintained a material master for a certain material in the R/3 System, the material short text or the material groups, among other things, are suggested for you. If a purchasing info record already exists in the system, a default price is copied to the purchase order.
The purchase order is either sent to a vendor or you carry out a stock transport order in another plant belonging to your company or group. With a stock transport order, you can take into account the associated freight costs in the purchase order.Note: You can find more information about stock transport orders in the Materials Management documentation on the topic of Inventory Management: Special stocks and special forms of procurement in Materials Management.

Goods receipt
Posting a goods receipt to stock with reference to a purchase order has a number of advantages for you, including:
The goods receiving department can check whether the goods delivered are what was actually ordered.
The system suggests data in the purchase order when you enter the goods receipt (for example material ordered, quantity). This makes it easier to enter the goods receipt and check overdeliveries and underdeliveries when goods arrive.
The purchase order is automatically updated with the delivery. The Purchasing department can send a reminder about late deliveries.
When a goods receipt to the warehouse is posted, a material document is created that contains information such as the material delivered and the quantity delivered. The storage location in which you place the material into stock in the associated plant is also recorded.
In transactions relevant for material valuation, at least one accounting document is created which records the effects the material movement has on the value of the stock.

Invoice Verification
Material documentfor goods receipt
In Materials Management, the procurement process is completed by Invoice Verification. There, invoices and credit memos are entered and checked for accuracy of the contents and prices. However, payment and evaluation of invoices is not part of Invoice Verification; the appropriate information for these tasks is passed on to other departments. Therefore, Invoice Verification creates a link between Materials Management and external or internal accounting.
When you enter an invoice with reference to a purchase order, the system suggests data from the purchase order and the goods receipts for the purchase order, for example, vendor, material, quantity still to be invoiced, terms of payment and so on.
If there are variances between the purchase order or goods receipt and the invoice, the system warns the user and blocks the invoice for payment, if necessary.
Posting the invoice completes the process of Invoice Verification. The purchase order history is updated and Financial Accounting can pay the open invoice item.

Consumable Material
Consumable materials are materials orservices that are procured directly for anaccount assignment object.
Inventory Management is not carried out.
Examples of consumable material:
OfficeOffice material material:: assigned to a cost center
Computer Computer systemssystems:: assigned to an asset
The system automatically updatesconsumption of materials with a materialmaster record.

When you create a material master record, you must assign the material to a material type. The latter defines certain attributes of the material and has important control functions.
The material type defines the procurement type for a material, for example. The procurement type indicates whether the material is produced in-house, procured externally, or both.
Together with the plant, the material type determines the inventory management requirement for a material. That is to say, it determines whether changes in quantities are updated in the material master record whether changes in the value of the material are also updated in the stock accounts of Financial
Accounting Furthermore, the material type determines which accounts are to be posted when a material enters or
leaves the warehouse or stores. The standard material types NLAG and DIEN are available for materials that cannot or are not
intended to be stored (kept in stock) and for simple services respectively: NLAG: Non-stock material is material that is not stored but is used or consumed immediately. DIEN: Services are procured externally. Since they obviously cannot be stored, they are also
regarded as being consumed immediately. A material master record belonging to this material type can always contain purchasing data.

When you create a purchase order with account assignment, depending on the account assignment category, you have to enter a cost center or asset number. Depending on the account assignment category, the system can use automatic account determination to suggest a G/L account number for the consumption account.
The standard configuration of the R/3 System contains the following consumable materials with material master record:-non-stock material (material type NLAG): Quantity and value are not updated - non-valuated material (material type UNBW): Quantity is updated, but value is not.
Consumable materials with a material master record must have an account assignment.
