HI,

No, there is not available in SAP system before the PR phase in the procurement process. PR only the first stage of procurement process from different department end user requirement.

After PR -> quotation-> maintain quotaion -> RFQ>PO>GRN->Invoice booking / verfication---> Vendor Payment process.

Hope, now your are clear about PR.

Quotation.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Do you mean a 'request for quotation?

Isnt there any way we can do the task without an RFQ?

Please advice?

Thanks

Hi Dear,

How can you maintain the quotation, untill and unless they are not there in the system, i Mean to say that you need to have the RFQ No based on which you can maintain the prices and other parameter for the combination of Material and vendor.

else the document will be called as the INFORMATION RECORD, i.e only the link between material and vendor with validity and material price.

Hope It helps you.

Hi,

Yes it is true that PR is the 1st stage for procurement process.

But Some cases PR can be generated by some other process like MRP, via Sales order etc.

Hi,

We have deployed a PR-MIRO system which isnt connected to the sales order it is completely different

So is there a solution for this type?

Can you guys help.

Hi,

Procurement process start from Purchase Requisition.So i dont think is ther any stage before PR.its possible that , before initiating PR,you should check ,weather material is available in stock or not through Tcode (i.e. MMBE etc.).

hi Abhishek,

I know that the PR is the first stage but in a scenario where a person say requests for a laptop, and isnt knowing the brand and specs then how does he indent the laptop to the commercial dept so that they can buy one?

Thank you,
