Purchasing & Order Tracking for New Independent Requirements

24 Views

Could anyone tell us how they are currently handling new independent requirements that are not available in the system?

We are looking at a solution for our purchasing organization for engineering demands where a user needs to purchase a part or service which does not exist in SAP. Currently the user is manually procuring the item. We would like to come up with an automated solution so there will be better inventory tracking and reporting.

Part of our problem is that the item does not exist in the material master in SAP hence cannot be purchased through the system. Do we have to insist that all part be loaded into the system, but then this would slow down the up-front buying process thereby affecting engineering design.

Any thoughts/ ideas or best practices would be much appreciated.
