Dear SAP Experts,
I was looking into the new functionality Create Purchase Requests (Manual) in SAP ByDesign and I spend some time looking into the Account Assignment on this new functionality.
Unfortuly I could not find it, which brought me over to the process (looking at the system behaviour on this document on a creation of a Purchase Order and so one).
My understanding is: for this new functionality, there are two options:
1 - It is valid only for stock products ( account assignment defined on the product ID)
2 - The buyer should know or contact the requester to add this information on the creation of the purchase order
My case I would like to create an indirect Purchase Request and Purchasing Order, which brings me to option 2.
Note: On the Shopping Cart and also on the creation of a Purchase Request from the Project, the Account Assignment is mandatory.
Someone know why the accounting assignment is not available on this new functionality at the Purchase Requests (Manual)?
Thank you,
Pedro Muller
Dear Pedro,
As per our product development there were 2 actual requirements behind developing manual Purchase Request.
To meet this we created manual Purchase Requests so that instead of creating via planning proposal users can directly create Manual
Purchase Request and it will update the planning view once the Purchase Order is created and ordered out of this manual Purchase Request.
Your requirement is a valid so I would request to submit your requirement in ByDesign Idea Place (public).
We can enable non- stock items on manual Purchase Request if there is demand for it in a future release.

Hi Pedro,
I too realized this shortcoming when evaluating for a client - they were excited to be able to use this functionality until we both realized it was only for stock material. They do not use the Shopping Cart - it appears that for whatever reason it was decided that if you want to do Non Stock requests you must still use the Shopping Cart in order to assign the appropriate Account assignment information. Unfortunate.
Curious to hear why this was designed like this...
