Procurement Cycle in SAP MM


Procurement to Pay Cycle

In MM the main process is P2P Cycle i.e. Procurement to Payment Cycle. It starts with Purchase requisition and ends with Invoice verification. In this process we have different stages. Those are listed below:
Ø Purchase Requisition (PR)
Ø Request for Quotation (RFQ)
Ø Purchase Order (PO)
Ø Goods Receipt (MIGO)
Ø  Invoice verification (MIRO )


Purchase Requisition:
Purchase requisition is a request or instruction to purchasing department to procure a certain quantity of a raw materials or consumables, etc. at certain point of time.
It is an internal document, sends to Purchase Department.
Requisitions can be created either manually or they are auto generated by the system.

Request for Quotation:
In the case of approved vendor is not available for procurement, RFQ will be sent to different vendors to finalize the specific vendor for procurement.

It is an invitation to vendor for providing quotation for supplying the material.
RFQ issued to several vendors shall be maintained in the system and the system shall determine the most favorable quotation submitted.

Purchase Order:
Purchasing order is outgoing document. It is a legal document. Purchase order shall be created with reference to approved purchase requisitions, RFQ, and contracts. Purchase orders shall be identified with the document type and item categories. Purchase order should be created with reference of PR, RFQ or Contract.

Purchase Info Record & Source list


Purchase Info Record

Info record is short form for purchase information record. The info record contains concise information about a vendor and a material that purchasing already procures from that vendor. An info record thus represents a material-vendor relationship.

Purchasing info record shall be updated while processing various purchase documents like contract, imports, etc.
The details shall be maintained for a plant and purchasing organization. Details like prices & other conditions, the information in the latest purchasing info record for a combination of vendor and material for that purchasing organization and plant shall always be defaulted when creating a purchase order. Info record will be maintained from the last PO number in the combination of vendor and the material.

Source List

A source list specifies the possible sources of supply for a material over a given period of time.
It shows the time period in which a material may be ordered from a given vendor or under a certain long-term purchase agreement. The source list supports the user in answering the question: “Which vendors or internal suppliers can supply a material at a given point in time?” It is also used in the automatic selection of vendors for a material. The source list record uniquely identifies the source of supply, a vendor, an internal plant, or an outline agreement item, and facilitates determination of the applicable source for a purchase requisition at a certain time
·                    Source List can be created automatically or manually
You can maintain the fixed source of supply in source list

·        You can block the vendor for the specific time period for a specific material
