quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions,
you can generate Purchase orders yourself or have the system generate them
automatically.

• Goods Receipt and Inventory Management


Inventory Department can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the
PO number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and

created automatically and while doing the Goods receipt and the Goods will be

Unrestricted Use Stock (Own Stock) for further use of materials.
In the absence of the Quality control module system provide features that are
manual to move the stocks in and out of the quality stock.

• Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts
payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has
access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and
clearing invoices for payment.

• Procurement for Stock Versus Procurement for Direct Consumption


In the MM System, you procure either for stock or for direct consumption. You
can determine the purpose for which ordered materials are being procured in
the purchase order, for example. This section describes the differences between
procuring for stock and procuring for direct consumption in the MM System.

• Procurement for Stock


A stock material is a material that is kept in stock. Such materials are placed in
storage following a goods receipt. When goods are received by or issued from
stores or the warehouse, the stock on hand is increased or reduced by the
amount of the quantity received or issued.
When you order a material for stock, the system does not require an account
assignment. This is because the posting to the appropriate stock and

ASIS Document – Materials Management Page 59 of 107


AS IS Document

consumption accounts occurs automatically after each goods movement (for


example, after a material is received by the stores or issued from stores).
Furthermore, the value and the quantity of the stocked material are updated in
the material master record.
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 centre) On goods
receipt, the material or service counts as having been consumed.
If a material is procured for direct consumption, the consumption accounts in
Financial Accounting are posted when the goods receipt is entered. The total
quantity and value of existing stocks of the material are not affected.

• Material Account Assignment


For each item of a purchasing document, you specify whether procurement is
for stock or for direct consumption. In a purchasing document, you can enter
items with or without account assignments.
If you order stock materials, the ordered material must have a material master
record. If you order Capital items, the ordered material may or may not have a
material master record.
Account assignments are possible for the following purchasing documents:
• Purchase requisitions
• Purchase orders
• Outline agreements

The Procurement process has various stages like Purchase Requisition, Request
for Quotation, Quotation, Purchase Order, Contract, Goods Receipt and Invoice
Verification.
Purchase requisition can be created for a given plant storage location, purchase
organization, material code and delivery date.
Request for Quotation can be created by giving the material code, Plant,

A quotation consists of items in which the total quantity and delivery date of an

3. Proposed requirements (Process/Formats/Others)
You can compare the prices from all quotations received as a result of a
Ans: SAP to propose best practice competitive bidding process using the price comparison list. The comparison list
ranks the quotations by item from lowest to highest price.

Prerequisites
Before you generate the price comparison list, you need to consider the
following:
If possible, each quotation should have pricing data for the same item. Only
then is the correct interpretation of the mean and total values possible.
If quotations 1 and 2 have pricing data for item 1, but quotation 3 only has price
information for item 2, then the system does not have enough information to
accurately compare the prices of all three quotations.
If a quotation is submitted in a foreign currency, the price is automatically
translated into the currency of the company code, which is determined by your
purchasing organization.
You should therefore make certain that up-to-date exchange rates are defined in
your system.
Mean/minimum value quotation
The price comparison list can also display a quotation reflecting the average or

minimum value of all quotations. Select either the Mean or Minimum value
quotation field to see the quotation.
Price Computations Select the appropriate field to specify which of the following
should be taken into account in determining the comparison price:
– Cash discount
– Delivery costs
– Effective price
The Quotations are not mandatory for any Procurement Cycle. This can be used
whenever required by Logiwiz according to the requirements.
