A document type in purchasing is a classification of purchasing documents (such as purchase orders, contracts, requests for quotation, etc.) that defines some basic characteristics and controls for each document. Some of the aspects that you can control with a document type are:

• Reference to purchase requisitions, which means that you can specify whether a purchasing document can be created with reference to a purchase requisition or not.
• Number range, which means that you can define the number interval and the number assignment (internal or external) for each purchasing document.
• Item number interval, which means that you can define the increment and the length of the item numbers for each purchasing document. References: [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Help Portal]

When creating a value contract with a supplier for packaging, you must use the item category W (Material group). This item category allows you to specify only a material group and a target quantity or value without specifying exact materials and their purchase prices until the release orders. You cannot use the item categories B (Limit), T (Text), or M (Material unknown) for this purpose. References: [SAP Help Portal - Value Contract]

The organizational structure for procurement consists of various organizational units that are related to each other. Some properties of this structure are:

• A plant can only belong to one company code, which is the smallest organizational unit for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up.
• Several storage locations may be assigned to a plant. A storage location is the place where materials are physically stored within a plant.
• A storage location key must be unique in a plant, but not in a company code. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4500, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

To enable partner role determination in purchasing, you must assign a partner schema to relevant document types. A partner schema is a configuration that defines the possible partner roles and functions for a purchasing document such as purchase requisition, purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement. You can assign a partner schema to a document type in Customizing under Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Partner Determination -> Assign Partner Schemas to Document Types. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 3, Lesson 2.

Situation Handling is a feature that helps users deal with situations that require their attention or action. A situation template is a predefined configuration that defines the rules and actions for a specific type of situation. For the following business scenarios, a situation template exists in Situation Handling:

• A supplier confirmation is pending, which means that a vendor has not confirmed a purchase order or has confirmed it with different conditions than expected.
• A contract is ready as a source of supply, which means that a contract has been released and can be used as a valid source of supply for purchase requisitions or purchase orders. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 8, Lesson 1.

The SAP Fiori launchpad is a role-based, personalized, and real-time access point for SAP applications and services. Some personalization options of the SAP Fiori launchpad are:

• Add new tile groups, which are collections of tiles that represent different applications or tasks. You can create your own tile groups and arrange them according to your preferences.
• Add tiles to existing tile groups, which means that you can add more applications or tasks to the tile groups that are already available on your launchpad. You can also remove tiles from tile groups or move them to different tile groups. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4500, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

The Purchase Requisition Touch Rate card in the Procurement Overview app shows the percentage of all purchase requisition items that require manual intervention during processing. A high touch rate indicates that there are many exceptions or errors that prevent the automatic conversion of purchase requisitions into purchase orders. You can use this card to analyze the reasons for manual intervention and take actions to improve the process efficiency. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

The quota base quantity is the total quantity of a material that is to be procured over a certain period of time from various sources of supply. The quota arrangement specifies how this quantity is to be distributed among the sources of supply. If a new supplier is added to an existing quota arrangement, the quota base quantity must be updated to reflect the new situation. This way, the new supplier will be considered as if they had been part of the quota arrangement from the beginning. The other options do not ensure this, as they only affect the existing sources of supply or the source list. References: [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Community]

To define field attributes for a business partner, you can use the following influencing factors:

• Activity, which determines whether you are creating or changing a business partner.
• Account group, which defines the number range and field selection for a business partner.
• Business partner role, which defines the functions and relationships of a business partner. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4500, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

The account assignment category controls the following aspects of a purchase requisition or purchasing document item:

• The type of account assignment object you must specify, such as cost center, order, project, or asset.
• Whether you must enter a material in the purchase order or whether you can enter a short text and material group instead. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 3, Lesson 2.

A subcontracting process involves sending components to a vendor who provides a service and returns an assembled or processed product. Some steps that can be part of this process are:

• Post subsequent adjustment of component consumption, which means that you can correct the actual quantity of components consumed by the vendor after receiving the finished product.
• Create an outbound delivery for components to be provided, which means that you can ship the components from your plant to the vendor’s location using the shipping functionality.
• Purchase components for direct delivery to the subcontractor, which means that you can order components from another vendor and have them delivered directly to the subcontractor without storing them in your own plant. References: [SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning], Course S4520, Unit 4, Lesson 1.

Centrally agreed contracts are contracts that are created by a central purchasing organization and can be used by multiple purchasing organizations within a company. Some of the characteristics of centrally agreed contracts are:

• You can use centrally agreed contracts in a procurement hub scenario, which means that you can leverage the central purchasing organization’s negotiation power and expertise to procure materials or services for other purchasing organizations.
• You cannot specify plants in centrally agreed contracts, which means that the contracts are not plant-specific and can be used by any plant that belongs to the purchasing organizations that are assigned to the central purchasing organization. References: [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Help Portal]

When using split valuation for your refurbishing process to differentiate between materials based on the condition of the material, you must consider that for each possible valuation type, the price control must be moving average price (MAP). This means that each valuation type has its own moving average price that is updated after each goods receipt or invoice receipt. You cannot use standard price for split valuation because it would not reflect the different values of the materials with different conditions. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 3, Lesson 2.

The account determination for planned delivery costs based on the condition type is controlled by the account key that is assigned to the condition type in Customizing for Materials Management under Purchasing -> Conditions -> Define Price Determination Process -> Define Condition Types. The account key determines which general ledger accounts are posted to during invoice verification. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4515, Unit 3, Lesson 1.

When you post a goods receipt to stock with reference to a purchase order, you can perform the following actions:

• Split the quantity received to multiple storage locations, which means that you can distribute the goods receipt quantity among different places where materials are physically stored within a plant.
• Post partial order quantity, which means that you can receive multiple partial deliveries for the same purchase order item. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4510, Unit 2, Lesson 1.

To implement split valuation, you must do the following:

• Customize valuation categories and valuation types, which are the key elements of split valuation. A valuation category defines the criteria for splitting the valuation of a material, such as origin or quality. A valuation type is a subdivision of a valuation category that represents a specific stock type, such as country of origin A or B. You can customize valuation categories and valuation types in Customizing under Materials Management -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Split Valuation -> Configure Split Valuation.
• Create additional accounting data for the relevant materials, which means that you must maintain the valuation data for each valuation type at valuation-area level. The valuation data includes the valuation price, total stock quantity, and total stock value for each valuation type. You can create additional accounting data for the relevant materials in the material master under Accounting 1 view. References: Split Valuation in Inventory Management | SAP Help Portal

To enable the ability to personalize the home page, you must configure it in the SAP Fiori launchpad. The SAP Fiori launchpad is a role-based, personalized, and real-time access point for SAP applications and services. You can configure the personalization settings for the home page in Customizing under SAP Fiori -> Launchpad -> Personalization Settings. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4500, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

A scheduling agreement is a long-term agreement with a vendor for the supply of materials or services according to a predefined delivery schedule. Some features of a scheduling agreement are:

• A material master record is optional in a scheduling agreement item. You can use item category M (Material unknown) to enter a short text and material group instead of a material number.
• A scheduling agreement can be used for a consignment process. You can use item category K (Consignment) to indicate that the materials are stored at your premises but are still owned by the vendor until you consume them.
• A scheduling agreement item is always plant-specific. You must specify a plant for each scheduling agreement item and you cannot change it afterwards. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 5, Lesson 1.

If you want to implement production planning and product costing in your company, you must choose plant as the organizational level for stock valuation. This means that each plant has its own valuation area and valuation class for each material. This allows you to valuate materials differently in different plants and calculate production costs accurately. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4550, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

The account category reference is a grouping of material types that have a similar account determination. By assigning the same account category reference to different material types, you can control that they use the same valuation class for account determination. The valuation class is a key factor that determines which general ledger accounts are posted during inventory transactions. Therefore, if you want to set up the same account determination for raw materials (material type ROH) and operating supplies (material type HIBE), you can group them by assigning the same account category reference to these material types. References: [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Help Portal]

You maintain the purchasing value key in the material master at plant level. The purchasing value key contains parameters that influence the purchasing process for a material, such as order unit, rounding value, minimum order quantity, and delivery tolerance. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 3, Lesson 2.

To manually post an initial entry of stock for a material in SAP S/4HANA, you can use the following options:

• On the SAP Fiori launchpad, use the Post Goods Movement app, which allows you to post various types of goods movements such as goods receipts, goods issues, transfers, or returns. You can enter both a quantity and an amount for the initial entry of stock.
• In the SAP GUI, use transaction MIGO (Goods Movement), which is similar to the Post Goods Movement app but with a different user interface. You can also enter both a quantity and an amount for the initial entry of stock. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4510, Unit 2, Lesson 1.

A subcontracting procurement process involves sending components to a vendor who provides a service and returns an assembled or processed product. Some features of this process are:

• You can maintain the components to be provided in a bill of material (BOM), which specifies the quantity and type of components required for each finished product.
• You can have subcontracting purchase requisitions created by MRP (material requirements planning), which calculates the demand for finished products and components based on various planning parameters.
• You can customize the control parameters for the subcontracting item category (L), which determines whether a goods receipt or an invoice receipt is required, whether account assignment is possible, and whether a material number is mandatory. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 4, Lesson 1.

The stock determination strategy is a set of rules that defines how the system selects a suitable stock for a material requirement. To use a stock determination strategy for a material in management, some prerequisites are needed. First, a stock determination rule must be assigned to the business transaction in Customizing. This rule specifies which stock types and special stocks are allowed for the transaction. Second, a stock determination rule must be customized and assigned to the storage type. This rule defines the sequence in which the system searches for available stock within the storage type. Third, a cross-application strategy for stock determination must be customized. This strategy determines how the system selects a storage location and a batch for the material requirement. The other options are not prerequisites, as they are optional or not related to the stock determination strategy. References: [SAP Help Portal], [SAP Community]

A manually created reservation is a document that reserves a certain quantity of a material for a specific purpose or account assignment object. Some properties of a manually created reservation are:

• You can assign different account assignment objects per item, which means that you can allocate the costs for each reserved material to a different cost center, order, project, or asset.
• You can set the Movement Allowed indicator per item, which means that you can specify whether you want to allow goods movements for each reserved material or not. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4510, Unit 2, Lesson 1.

You can assign one purchasing organization to several company codes, one purchasing organization to one company code, or one purchasing organization to several plants across company codes in Customizing for the enterprise structure. These assignments determine the scope and level of purchasing activities. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4500, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

SAP Smart Business is a framework that provides real-time insights into key performance indicators (KPIs) and allows users to take actions based on the data. Some SAP Smart Business KPIs available for purchase requisitions are:

• Purchase requisition-to-order cycle time, which measures the average time from the creation of a purchase requisition to the creation of a purchase order.
• Overdue purchase requisitions, which shows the number and value of purchase requisitions that have not been converted to purchase orders by their delivery date.
• Purchase requisition average approval time, which measures the average time from the submission of a purchase requisition to its approval or rejection. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 8, Lesson 1.

To have MRP generate a procurement proposal for 1000 pieces for each supplier, you must maintain the following:

• Set a maximum lot size in the quota arrangement item and activate the lx checkbox, which means that MRP will split the total requirement quantity according to the quota allocation and create one procurement proposal per quota arrangement item.
• Set a maximum quota quantity in the quota arrangement item for each supplier, which limits the total quantity that can be procured from each supplier within a validity period. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4525, Unit 1, Lesson 1.
