1. Direct requirements from a project, cost center , sales order or work order
Business Process Description Overview
A requisition defines the need for a material or service. It is the primary instrument for identifying materials or
services that must be either procured outside the company or manufactured internally. It 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.
Requisitions can be created for materials with or with out a material master. When creating the requisition with a
material master,
The part number must be referenced, and a flag must be placed in the account assignment field. This will bring up
a pop-up
window to assign the material to an account.
Requisitions do not need a material master. If processing a requisition for material that does not have a material
master, the
account assignment must be flagged with the proper key to charge the item to a cost center, project, or an order.
Input - Required Fields Field Value / Comments
Document Type Type of requisition (NB)
Delivery date date item is required
Plant Plant requiring material
Purchasing Group Buyer or group that will purchase material
Account assignment A flag that determines the account where financial transactions are
charged.
Output - Results Comments

Tips and Tricks
When you enter the item category, account assignment, delivery date, plant, storage location, Purchasing
group, material group on the initial overview screen, this information defaults to each item number on the item
screen eliminating duplication of typing effort. In the item screen any of these fields can be changed using a
requisition tracking number or entering a requisitioner allows grouping for easy monitoring. If you specify an
account assignment, do not reference a storage location, because the item is being charged off and will not go
into inventory.
Set up the user defaults for each user to force the system to plug in default data, i.e. plant, purchasing
organization.

The output is a material document,
which can contain accounting, profit

The output is the Goods Receipt Note with reference to a Purchase
order. All inventory and accounting entries are created upon posting of
this document in the system.
Tips and Tricks
A purchase order has been created and has been maintained in the system. When a receipt is entered in SAP, it
must reference a purchase order to verify the 3 way match process (i.e. purchasing departments, warehouse, and
accounting or A/P). The vendor typically provides a delivery challan, packing slip, invoice, for the material and/or
a bill of lading, lorry receipt of the carrier, which will contain information relating to who the vendor is, the material
and quantity delivered. In the event of a non-stock material, the requesters name should be printed on the
delivery challan to ensure proper attention.
If the PO number is not printed on the delivery challan, Invoice, bill of lading, the receiver will need to execute
transaction MIGO_GR Goods Receipt PO Unknown. The menu path for this is Logistics > Material Management
> Inventory Management > Goods Movement > Goods Receipt > For purchase order > PO number unknown. On
the Goods Receipt - PO Unknown: Initial Screen, be sure to fill in the Vendor Document reference number
and the Transporter in the Header Text field. The movement type is defaulted in. The receiver will need to
enter the vendor and/or material in the Find POs section and press the enter key or green checkmark in the upper
left hand corner of the screen. The system will provide a list of all open purchase orders that the receiver can
choose to receive against. Once the purchase order and line item are selected, the receiver will press the COPY
button. Then proceed to step 1.4 Goods Receipt PO: Selection Screen.
In exception cases, a goods receipt has been entered for a PO with an incorrect quantity. The initial receipt needs
to be reversed. For example, a PO for 100 pieces of flanges have been ordered and received. Later, it is identified
that one of the boxes containing 10 pieces is missing. It is now necessary to reverse the initial goods receipt for
the 100 flanges and then post a new goods receipt for the appropriate “short” quantity of 90. The document date
for the corrected goods receipt should be recorded for the initial goods receipt in the Document Date field. Then,
when the remaining 10 arrive, the respective dates will be entered to allow vendor evaluation to be scored
accurately.
To reverse by material document follow the menu path: Logistics > Material Management > Inventory
157. Solution/ Release: ECC 6.0 Page 157 of 213
Management > Material Document > Cancel/Reverse. The material document is needed for this transaction.
If it is unknown, do a pull-down on the material document field and enter in search criteria relevant to the material
document. For example, enter a material number, plant, movement type, posting date, etc. Remember, the
system only displays the information that is entered. Therefore, do not be too specific especially if you are not
sure. A recommendation would be for the material, plant and movement type as a minimum. Then press the
execute button (the icon resembling a flower or stopwatch or press F8). Select the material document item and
press the “Adopt document” button. The material document number will be copied into the screen. Now press
enter. The heading of the screen should read, “Cancel Material Document: Selection Screen”. Select the line and
press the “Copy” button. Then SAVE. If the material for that document is displayed, there will be offsetting entries
to the previous receipt by quantity AND value.
Goods receipt tolerances for quantity are set at different levels material master, purchasing information record,
purchase order, and outline agreements. The order of precedence follows the same order from least specific
(lowest) to most specific (highest). For example, the over/under-delivery tolerances are set at the material master
level
