Documentation

Definition

Indicator showing that a procurement alternative for purchase orders has been created.

Use

Choose this process category to create a procurement alternative for purchase orders. You can then enter a vendor and the relevant purchasing organization in the initial screen.

You can also create an unspecified procurement alternative. To do this, do not enter a vendor or a purchasing organization. The material is then valuated with the prices in the material master and not using the purchasing info record.

Dependencies

If you enter a vendor, you must also enter a purchasing order, and vice versa. You cannot create procurement alternatives with vendor only or with purchasing organization only.
