How to create purchase requisition in SAP using ME51N
What is a purchase requisition? A purchase requisition is used to centralize all requirements within an organization, and exchange between production department and purchase department.
The purchase requisition is basically a wish list or request or materials to the procurement department, which will manage the purchase from the suppliers after having gathered all requisitions from the company.
It is an internal document, which is not shared with the suppliers, and needs approval from the internal purchasing organization.
The following types of purchase requisitions are available:
- Standard, for a classic request of getting a material from a vendor,
- Subcontracting, also called toll manufacturing, when a raw material or semi-finished good is given to a supplier, and a semi-finished good or a finished material is getting back,
- Consignment, when the provider is managing the material stock and it gets paid for this service,
- Stock transfer, when the material is transfer from the organization,
- External service, when services are being bought from an external vendor.
