1​​ ​N/A PIR The purchase information record (PIR) is a master data
Purchase Information object which holds vendor-specific material data. This
Record includes pricing, supplier material number, vendor number,
manufacturer number, order unit, and planned delivery time
among other fields.

2 N/A PR Purchase Requisitions (PREQs / PRs) are requests for a

PREQ purchase order to be created. For direct materials they are
created automatically based on demand, whereas for
Purchase Requisition indirect materials they are created manually. These may
require internal approval before they can be converted into a
Purchase Order.
3 N/A PO Purchase Orders are orders for materials or services. These
Purchase Order may require internal approval before they are sent to
suppliers.

8
 Key Terms
No.​​ Business Term​​ SAP Term​​ Description​​
​4 Vendor / Supplier BP A Business Partner (BP) is a person or organization with
Customer Business Partner whom we do business. This could be a supplier, a customer,
a contact within an organization, a manufacturer, or an end
customer. In order to create a Purchase Order, a business
partner must exist for the required vendor.
5 Warehouses Plants Warehouse sites are referred to as plants in the S/4 HANA
system. The warehouse locations for China and Vietnam
factories are CNS1 or CN11 and VNS1 or VN11 respectively.
The plants with ‘S’ in the code are owned by Singapore (XP
Power Limited)
6 Approval Workflow Release Strategy Release Strategies control who the approver for a Purchase
Requisition or Purchase Order should be. S/4 HANA
automatically calculates the correct release strategy for an
order and triggers an approval request to the person
responsible for approving that release strategy.

​7 N/A Source List The source list specifies suppliers for a material by
time period. It is typically useful for material which having
many different sources and telling system which source to
pick in which period. 

You can create an entry in a source list directly from the

PIR, contract and define a source of supply as fixed
(preferred), planning (used for MRP), or blocked
8 N/A PIR Within SAP we can hold information about how we buy
things and who it is from. This could be minimum
Purchasing Information order quantities, specifications and purchasing agreements.
Record From the Purchase Requisition, a Buyer can look at the
Purchase Information Records and determine who best to
source the supplies from SAP.

10
At this point in the
Purchase Order
process MRP will
have run in IBP and
generated purchase
requisitions. These
purchase
requisitions will
have been
converted into
Purchase Orders on
the relevant
vendors, and the
order will have
been placed on the
supplier.

11
Changing Purchase Orders - Overview

In ‘MM Module 4 – Direct Purchase Orders’ we discussed the process for displaying Purchase
Requisitions, creating Purchase Orders, and next steps regarding Purchase Order approvals.

Once a Purchase Order is saved, you may need to make changes to some of the details.

Changes you may need to make include:

 Updating Purchase Order Dates

 Updating Purchase Order Prices
 Changing Materials on Purchase Orders (Form / Fit / Function Class Replacements)

In this module we will be discussing how to make these changes along with how to report on any
open Purchase Orders.

12
Changing Purchase Order Dates

13
Changing Purchase Order Dates - Overview

There are lots of different dates available on Purchase Orders. Examples of these dates include:

 Purchase Order Creation Date

 Supplier Delivery Dates
 Original Supplier Delivery Date
 Original Request Date from XP
 Supplier Evaluation Date

In this scenario we will discuss where to find these dates at different points in the Purchase
Order lifecycle, and how to update these dates if possible / required.

14
Purchase Order Creation Date

The first date that can be found at the top of a Purchase Order is the Purchase Order Creation
Date. This is static data that cannot be changed in the system.

15
Supplier Delivery Dates
The supplier delivery dates for goods can be found at both the item level and the item details level. At the item level you can see a single
delivery date per line – this is the first date on which we are expecting the goods to be shipped from the supplier. The GR processing time is
then added to this date to give the availability date seen in Monitor Stock / Requirements List.

Note: the supplier delivery dates will only be seen once the dates have been updated either manually by Purchasing following communication
from the supplier, or once the supplier has provided the supplier acknowledgement form and purchasing has uploaded this into the system.
Until then, the date seen above will be the requested date for the delivery of goods, based on lead time.

16
Supplier Delivery Dates

If the supplier has acknowledged partial deliveries against a line item, then you can see a full
breakdown of which quantity of units is shipping when in the ‘Delivery Schedule’ tab of the
Item Details section:

17
Original Supplier Delivery Date

On the Delivery Schedule tab, you can also see the original supplier acknowledgment date.

This should not be changed manually as this is used to track when the supplier first confirmed
goods would be available.

18
Original Request Date from XP / Supplier Evaluation Date

On the Confirmations tab there are two dates available:

1. ‘ZR Date’

 This holds information on the original requested date for delivery from the supplier

2. ‘ZE Date’

 This date is calculated by the system and is original requested date + GR Processing Time - 3 days for IQC
(Incoming Quality Control). This date is used for our supplier evaluations and allows us to track our
suppliers against their promised lead times.

19
Original Request Date from XP / Supplier Evaluation Date

20
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Manual Update)

You can change supplier delivery dates either manually or using the supplier acknowledgement
program.

The following training scenario will detail how to manually change supplier delivery dates.

21
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Manual Update)

If the supplier contacts you to pull in or push out expected delivery dates, these changes need
to be updated in the Purchase Order.

This can be done either manually or using the supplier acknowledgement program.

The following training scenario will detail how to manually change supplier delivery dates.

22
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Manual Update) - Data

Required Data:

 Open Purchase Order (Type = ZMAT or ZZDR)

23
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Manual Update)

Step 1) Select the ‘Change Purchase Order’ tile:

Step 2) Select ‘Other Purchase Order’ then enter the Purchase Order number you need to
change and select ‘Other Document’:

24
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Manual Update)

Step 3) From the item details dropdown, select the line item you wish to update:

Step 4) Update the delivery schedule to reflect the new dates the supplier has provided:

25
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Manual Update)

Step 5) Press save to save your changes

26
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Supplier Acknowledgement Program)

If we have several different purchase orders for the same supplier, rather than manually
updating each Purchase Order it makes more sense to send the supplier the supplier
acknowledgement form and ask them to complete it.

If the supplier is unable to complete the form but can provide updates via. Email, the buyer
could also combine the email updates into the form and use it as a way of mass updating
purchase orders without having to enter and save each one separately.

27
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Supplier Acknowledgement Program)

This form is then uploaded into the SAP system and should automatically update the relevant
purchase orders.

The following slides will detail how to:

A. Complete the Supplier Acknowledgement Form

B. Upload the Supplier Acknowledgement Form into SAP

28
Changing Supplier Delivery Dates (Supplier Acknowledgement Program) -
Data

Required Data:

 Open Purchase Order

29
Generating the Supplier Acknowledgement Form

The supplier acknowledgement form has 6 columns:

All columns on the form are mandatory and must be completed.

The easiest way to get this information from the supplier is to run the Purchase Order Backlog
Report with these columns selected, and export as a CSV. You should be able to then quickly
send the file to the supplier to complete.

30
Generating the Supplier Acknowledgement Form

Step 1) Select the ‘PO OTD’ report tile, Enter relevant details to filter the report (Recommended
Filter = Vendor), ensure you have selected ‘Backlog Delivery’ then Press Execute.

31
Generating the Supplier Acknowledgement Form

Step 2) If you have not already saved a variant, select the change layout icon from the top
of the screen, then select / reorder the columns to match the supplier acknowledgement form.

32
Generating the Supplier Acknowledgement Form

Step 3) Select ‘Save As’ at the bottom of the screen and then enter the layout code and Name

Step 5) You should now be able to export the excel by selecting ‘More – List – Export –
Spreadsheet’. Then pressing the green tick on the next screen that appears

35
Generating the Supplier Acknowledgement Form

Step 6) This will have downloaded an excel file. Press ‘File – Save As’ and then select ‘CSV’. As
the document type:

36
Generating the Supplier Acknowledgement Form

You should now have a supplier acknowledgement form in the correct format which can be sent
to the supplier. They should simply have to update the dates in the ‘Delivery Date’ column and
update the ‘Your Reference’ field if not already completed and then return to you.

37
Uploading the Supplier Acknowledgement File

Once you have a completed supplier acknowledgement file, it can be uploaded into SAP.

Step 1) Open the ‘Supplier Acknowledgements’ tile

38
Uploading the Supplier Acknowledgement File

Step 2) Click on the icon next to the ‘File Name’ section to select the file to be uploaded

39
Uploading the Supplier Acknowledgement File

Step 3) Ensure that ‘Test Run’ and ‘Foreground’ are selected then press ‘Execute’

40
Uploading the Supplier Acknowledgement File

Step 4) A message should appear saying ’All records without errors’

41
Uploading the Supplier Acknowledgement File

Step 5) Remove the ‘Test Run’ tick box and press execute again:

42
Uploading the Supplier Acknowledgement File

Step 6) You should get a message confirming changes have been made, and advising of any
warning messages:

43
Updating Requested Delivery Dates

In some cases, XP may want to push out the delivery dates of certain Purchase Orders due to
changes in customer demand.

The following scenario will show how to push out an XP requested date.

44
Updating Requested Delivery Dates - Data

Required Data:

 Open Purchase Order

45
Updating Requested Delivery Dates

Step 1) Open the ‘Change Purchase Order’ tile.

Step 2) Select ‘Other Purchase Order’ then enter the Purchase Order number you need to
change and select ‘Other Document’:

46
Updating Requested Delivery Dates

Step 3) Update the ‘Delivery Date’ fields on the ‘Delivery Schedule’ tab to reflect the new
request dates:

47
Updating Requested Delivery Dates

Step 4) Update the ‘ZR date’ to match the new requested date. Update the ‘ZE date’ to match
the new requested date + Goods Receipt Processing time + 3 days:

48
Changing Purchase Order Pricing

49
Changing Purchase Order Pricing - Overview
In some cases, for example a price increase from a supplier, you may need to increase the
pricing of goods on a Purchase Order.

This can either be done through the ‘Change Purchase Order’ tile (note that no specific training
scenario will be shown on this as you simply need to open the purchase order in change mode
and change the ‘Amount’ field) or using a new development for Phase 2 which allows a user to
mass update Purchase Order pricing based on PIR changes.

This scenario will explain how to mass update Purchase Order pricing based on PIR changes.
There are slightly different processes depending on whether any goods receipt has been
completed on an Item Line, or whether the item is completely open.

50
Changing Purchase Order Pricing – Pre-Requisites

For the Purchase Order pricing mass update program to work, there are some pre-requisite activities to
be completed by the Business Systems Team:

1. The Vendor must have a tick next to ‘Document Index’ in the Vendor BP Role:

2. The BST must have run the transaction ‘Recompilation of Document Index’. Only changes to PIRs
made after this transaction is run will be considered for mass updates.
51
Changing Purchase Order Pricing (No GR) – Data

Required Data:

 Open Purchase Order – No goods receipt done against line item

 Vendor on Purchase Order must have ‘Document Index’ ticked (see prev. slide)
 Recompilation of Document Index transaction must have been run

52
Changing Purchase Order Pricing (No GR)

Step 1) Update Purchase Information Record Pricing

The update and creation of Purchase Information Records has already been covered in MM
module 2 (Create PIR & Source List)

53
Changing Purchase Order Pricing (No GR)

Step 2) Open the tile ‘Automatic Purchasing Document Change’

54
Changing Purchase Order Pricing (No GR)

Step 3) Enter any relevant filter criteria, ensure that ‘Price Determination Type’ is selected as
‘New Price Determination for changed price elements’ and ‘Direct Database Changes per
Purchasing Document (Synchronous Update)’ is selected.

55
Changing Purchase Order Pricing (No GR)

Step 4) Select either the specific purchasing document you want to change, or all purchasing
documents, and select ‘Execute’ to complete the change in pricing.

56
Changing Purchase Order Pricing – Partial GR Process

If a partial GR has been completed on a line, you will not be able to change the pricing via. The
mass program as the pricing for goods receipted units cannot be changed.

Instead, you will need to update the ‘QTY’ on the item line to the ‘Goods Receipted QTY’ and
create a new line for the balance. The new line should automatically pick through the new ‘PIR’
pricing as it should look for the latest price.

57
Form Fit Function Class Changes

58
Form Fit Function Class - Overview

In S4 HANA Groups called ‘Form Fit Function Classes’ have been set up to allow easy
identification of units that can be used as replacements in production without having to be
approved by Engineering.

These materials are identical in all their technical properties (form, fit, and function) but are
either produced by different manufacturers, or are from the same manufacturer but have
different material numbers.

In cases where a supplier is unable to fulfil delivery of a critical part, you may need to change to
another material in the same Form Fit Function class (FFFC).

59
Form Fit Function Class - Data

Required Data:
 Purchase Order for material which is part of an FFFC class with multiple materials.

60
Form Fit Function Class – Overview

In order to change the material on a purchase order to an

alternative part, you need to delete the purchase order that
has already been created and re-create after assigning an
alternative source of supply.

The following slides will detail how to complete these steps.

61
Form Fit Function Class

Step 1) Open the Purchase Order to be deleted in change mode, highlight the line to be deleted
and press the delete icon. Then save the purchase order.

62
Form Fit Function Class

Step 2) Open the ‘Assign and Process Purchase Requisitions’ tile, and enter the relevant filter
criteria to bring up the purchase requisition you need to change.

63
Form Fit Function Class

Step 3) Got to Item Overview and select Purchase Requisitions that need to get a source
assigned. Then press the pencil icon twice to enter change mode.

64
Form Fit Function Class

Step 4) Expand Item details and go to tab ‘Source of Supply’. Then press ‘Assign Source of
Supply’. A message will appear asking if you want to include sources of interchangeable parts.
Make sure to select yes.

65
Form Fit Function Class

Step 5) Select required PIR and save.

66
Form Fit Function Class
Step 6) You should now be returned to the Assign Purchase Requisitions screen. Select the line
you want to convert into a Purchase Order and click the ball icon to convert the Purchase Order.
Then press ‘Adopt’ in the purchase order creation screen to pull through details of the Purchase
Requisition.

If a ‘PIR’ does not exist for the selected

vendor / leading part combination, then
the system will ask for a price. Please enter
this manually if required.

67
Form Fit Function Class

Step 7) Select the leading material that needs to be replaced and select the ‘Material
Replacement’ icon. Then press the enter key on your keyboard to bring up the Material
Replacement tab.

Enter the full QTY against the interchangeable material you wish to purchase, then save the PO.

68
Archiving PO Forms

69
Archiving PO Forms - Overview

One of the new developments for S4 HANA phase 2 is the implementation of archived purchase
order forms.

This allows you to track back through the changes that have been made on purchase orders to
find what was sent to suppliers at different stages.

The following guide will show how to view these archived forms.

70

Reporting

77
Reporting - Overview

Various transactions are available to help you with managing purchasing documents.

The key reports we’ll be discussing today are:

 Purchase Order Backlog Report

 Purchase Order On Time Delivery Report
 Purchase Order Monitor
 MRP Scheduling Report V2

78
Purchase Order Backlog

The Purchase Order Backlog Report gives you an overview of all of your Purchase Orders that
have not yet been received from the supplier.

This is a good way to track when supplier’s need to be chased for goods and can also be used to
get updated delivery dates on out-of-date Purchase Orders.
