Individual Purchase order

[former_member182378]

Hi,

Could you please explain the concept of "Individual Purchase order" with a business example? & also some explanation w.r.t. Item category (TAB) & schedule line (CB)

I have searched the internet, but I cannot seem to find some clear & simple examples.

Thank you, in advance!

Hi,

If you want to procure a material exclusively by individual purchase order, you can define in the material master record that the material is always treated as an individual purchase order item during sales processing. The system will then automatically determine the appropriate item category TAB.

Kind of purchase order where the goods requested by the customer are not available at the vendor location and must therefore be ordered from one or more suppliers. After the goods are received, they are delivered and invoiced to the customer who placed the order.

Goods which arrive at the vendor location on the basis of an individual purchase order are managed as sales order stock.

Individual Purchase Order:

To put it in simple words:

1 )A customer places order with a business.

2) Immediately the business orders these goods from its vendors.

3) The goods come to the business premises. ( Here, it differs from 3rd

party process, In 3 rd party, goods directly go to the customer from vendor)

4) The business then delivers these goods to its customer.

In SAP, for Ind PO Schedule Line cat, PR is automatically generated.
