„ A purchase order is a formal request to a vendor to supply certain goods or services under the stated
conditions.
„ Purchase orders can be created without reference, or with reference to a purchase requisition, a
request for quotation or another purchase order.
„ When you enter the purchase order data, the system suggests values to use. For example, the
ordering addresses, as well as the terms of payment and freight (Incoterms) are suggested from the
vendor master record. If you have maintained a material master for a certain material, the material
short text or the material groups, among other things, are suggested for you. If a purchasing info
record already exists in the system, a default price is copied to the purchase order.
„ The purchase order is either sent to a vendor or you carry out a stock transport order in another plant
belonging to your company or group. With a stock transport order, you can take into account the
associated freight costs in the purchase order.
1RWH You can find more information about stock transport orders in the Materials Management
documentation on the topic of Inventory Management: Special stocks and special forms of
procurement in Materials Management.
