Introduction To Procurement
Definition
The process of obtaining services, supplies, and equipment
from a vendor is called Procurement.
The procurement department or the purchase department
within an organization manages all the purchases.

12

Organizational levels in a procurement cycle

Client

A client can be termed as a corporate group

Company
Code

A company code is a company (accounting


unit) within the corporate group (client)

Plant

Storage
Location
Pur Org

A plant is the manufacturing facility or branch


within the company
Storage location is a area in the plant where all
the materials procured for the plant gets stored.
Inventory management and physical inventory
is carried out at the storage location level
The Procurement activity is taken care by this
department in the plant

Note:- A plant can be one of the following # Central delivery # warehouse #Regional
sales office #Manufacturing facility # Corporate headquarters
13

Types of Procurement

Internal Procurement
External Procurement

14

Internal Procurement
In a company, goods movements do not only occur in the form of goods receipts and
goods issues. Depending on the organization of the company and its sales policy, internal
stock transfers may also be necessary.
Stock transfer with delivery is a plant-to-plant scenario. You are posting a goods issue in
plant A and a goods receipt in plant B. This type of stock transfer can only be carried out
from unrestricted-use stock of the issuing plant to unrestricted-use stock of the receiving
plant. In a second step, you post the placement into storage at the receiving plant. Only
then is the event complete and the transferred quantity part of unrestricted-use stock.

The following are a must for internal procurement between plant to plant within the same
company code.
Creating a stock transport order in plant B
Generating a delivery in plant A
Picking the material in plant A
Posting the goods issue in the delivering plant i.e. Plant A
Posting the goods receipt in the receiving plant i.e. Plant B
The quantity posted from stock is first of all managed as stock in transit for the receiving
plant. The quantity is only posted to the unrestricted-use stock of the receiving plant once
the goods receipt has been posted. This enables the quantity 'on the road' to be
monitored.
15

Internal Procurement

You post a stock transfer from company code to company code in the same way that you
post a stock transfer from plant to plant, except that both plants belong to different
company codes.
During the stock transfer, two accounting documents are created in addition to the
material document
An accounting document for the removal from storage at the issuing company code
An accounting document for the placement into storage at the receiving company code
The following are a must for internal procurement between plant to plant between 2
different company codes.
Creating a purchase order at the receiving plant
Creating delivery and billing documents at the issuing plant
Posting the goods receipt at the receiving plant
Posting the invoice receipt at the receiving plant
The key points in this kind of procurement is
The issuing plant enters a delivery for the stock transport order and a billing document.
This is an inter company billing document. Pricing takes place as normal.
When the goods arrive, the receiving plant posts a goods receipt for the purchase order.
The unrestricted-use stock increases and an accounting document get created.
The invoice is checked with reference to the purchase order.

External Procurement
1. Determination

of Requirements

Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning
and control & passed on to the Purchasing department via a Purchase requisitions. You can
enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials
planning and control system.

2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on old orders
and existing longer-term agreements with the vendor. This speeds the process of creating
requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors.
3. Vendor

Selection and Comparison of Quotations

The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of
different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.

4. Purchase Order Processing


The Purchasing system takes up input datas from the requisition and the quotation to help you
create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have
the system generate them automatically.
18

External Procurement
5. Purchase

Order Monitoring

The buyer can check the status of the PO i.e. if the goods or invoices have been received
for a particular PO. The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if
necessary -automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals.
6.

Goods Receipt

Goods receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the PO
number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and under deliveries
of ordered goods.
7. Invoice

Verification

Vendor invoices are checked for accuracy of prices and contents.


8.

Payment Processing

Based on the invoice verification, the Accounts Dept / Finance Dept normally deals with
vendor payments.
19

Methods of Procurement

Procurement for Stock


A stock material is a material that is kept in stock. These materials are kept in stock once
received from the vendor. The stock of this materials keeps on increasing or decreasing
based on amount of the quantity received or issued.
To order a material for stock, the material must have a master record.

Procurement for Direct Consumption


When you procure for direct consumption, you specify the consumption purpose by
entering an account assignment (for example, a cost center).
To order a material for consumption, the material may have a master record.

20

Methods of Procurement

There are 3 basic forms of external procurement supported by MM


Purchasing component.

One-time purchase orders

Longer-term contracts with the subsequent issue of release orders

Longer-term scheduling agreements and delivery schedules

21

Forms of Procurement

One-Time Purchase Order


You use one-time orders for materials or services that you order irregularly.
You can reference a purchase requisition, RFQ, or another PO when creating a one-time
order.

Contract and Release Orders


For materials that are being ordered regularly and in large quantities, we can negotiate a
deal with the vendor for pricing or conditions & record then in a contract.
In a contract you also specify the validity date.

Scheduling Agreement
If a material is ordered on a regular basis and is to be delivered according to an exact time
schedule, then you set up a scheduling agreement. This method of procurement is
typically used when Just-in-Time deliveries are required from the vendor (for example, in
the automobile industry).

What is Material Master ?


How the Material master is used in all the departments ?
How it is useful in creating PO ?

39

Material Master

Material master contains the information on all the materials that a company procures or
produces, stores or sells. The material master record is a companies main source of
material specific data. It is used by all components in the R/3 logistics system.

Material Master

Integration of all material data in a single database , prevents the problem of


data redundancy. Data contained in material master record is required for many
functions with in the R/3 logistics system, for example:
Purchasing data for ordering
Inventory management data for posting a goods movements and
managing physical inventory.
Accounting data for material valuation.
MRP data for material requirements planning.

Each department in company has its own view in material master


Some material is valid for all organization levels, while some is valid only for
certain levels.
Data at client level
Data at plant level
Data at storage location level

41

Material Master
Maintain a material master record: screens
Material
(Industry sector)
(Material type)

Selective views
- Basic Data
- Purchasing
- Accounting

Organizational
levels
- Plant
-Storage location
-..

Data screens

When creating or editing a material master data, you go through a number of


screens.
From initial screen you go to two successive dialogue boxes . In the first
dialogue box, you specify the view you want to process. In second you specify
the relevant organizational levels. You then go to the data screens.
You can change the standard screen sequence by changing the default values
42

Material type

Materials with the same basic attributes are grouped together and assigned to a
material type. This allows you to manage different materials in a uniform
manner in accordance with your company's requirements. Examples of material
types are given in the graphic below

Material type

Number assignment

Raw
materials

User departments
Field selection

43

Industry sector

Control

Field selection

Operating

Like material type, the industry sector has a control function in SAP R/3
When you create a material master record, the industry sector defines.
which screens are displayed and in which order
which industry specific fields are displayed in each screen
Industry sector you assigned to material cannot be changed latter.
In customizing , you can define new industry sectors and maintain field
reference for field selection control according to your company- specific
requirements.
44

Material Type
Material type controls :
The type of number assignment (internal or external).
The permitted number range interval.
Which screens are displayed and in which order.
Which user-department-specific data (view) is suggested for entry.
Which procurement type is permitted for a material; that is, whether the material
is produced in-house, procured externally, or whether both options are allowed.

Along with the plant, the material type determines a material's inventory
management requirement; that is, whether the system updates quantity
changes in the material master record or updates changes in value in the stock
accounts in Financial Accounting.
The material type also determines which accounts are posted when a material
is posted to stock or leaves the warehouse.
Various material types are provided in the standard SAP R/3 System. If your
company needs additional material types, you can define these in Customizing
according to your requirements
45

Unit of measure

In addition to the base unit of measure the system uses for


stock keeping unit and to execute all its calculations, other
departments use their own unit of measure. For example
Purchasing can use another unit of measure to sales and
distribution or to the warehouse.
Base unit of measure: stock keeping unit. All the other unit
of measure that you use, are converted to base unit of
measure. You must enter the conversion factor for the unit
of measure in the material master.
46

Material
Master

You can use the valuation class to Combine the materials for assigning G/L
accounts so that you do not have to manage a separate stock account for each
material.
You maintain the valuation class in accounting view of the material master
record. The valuation class allowed for a material depends on the material type
and can be configured in customizing.
48

Material Valuation procedures

Material valuation

Price control
( In material master )

S
Standard price

V

49

Price Control

Valuation of goods receipts depends on the price control procedure you set in the material
master record. In the R/3 System, material valuation can be carried out according to the
moving average price procedure (V price) or the standard price procedure (S price).

In the standard price procedure (price control S), the system carries out all stock
postings at a price defined in the material master. Variances are posted to price difference
account

In the moving average price procedure (price control V), the system valuates goods
receipts with the purchase order price and goods issues with the current moving average
price. The system automatically calculates the latter upon every goods movement by
dividing the total value by the total stock quantity. Differences between the purchase order
price and the invoice are posted directly to the relevant stock account if there is sufficient
stock coverage.
