Introduction:
In this document, I would like to explain the different scenarios in the procurement process. The procurement process starts from purchase requisition and ends with payment to the vendor. Hence this process is popular with the word ‘P2P’ Process. It deals with procuring materials, services, different contracts associated with procurement. I have explained few popular scenarios. It is a 3-way matching rule (PO-GR-IV).
This document is a continuation of my previous blog posts part-1 & 2. In my previous blog posts, I have explained 1,2,3,4, and 5 scenarios (1-Standard purchase order, 2-Capex purchase order, 3-Consumption Purchase Order, 4-Stock PO with the Price difference, and 5-Service-Related PO with price differences). In this blog post, I will show the 6 to 10 scenarios (6-Stock Transfer Process Manually, 7- STO thru PO, 8-Down-payment against to PO, 9-Scheduling agreement Process PO, and 10-Purchase Order Using Internal Orders.
You can find my previous blog post information below.
The below table gives a high-level overview of different scenarios.
Note: The below 10 scenarios screenshot will be best visible in the desktop version.
6. Stock Transfer Process Manually-MB1B
We can do the Stock Transport either manually(T-Code-MB1B) or Thru PO (ME21N). We can transfer the stock from Plant-Plant within the company code and between the company codes.
In this step, I am doing Stock Transfer between Plants and between company codes
If we are doing stock transfer between two plants that belong to two different company codes, we should do the below two steps.
- Make sure to Create the same material in both the Plants
- Make sure to Configure ‘OBYA’ Cross Company Code Settings
I have extended the same material in the receiving plant and I have done cross-company code settings in the system. So that directly I am doing stock transfer process.
6.1 Transferring Stocks- Plant to Plant Manually- (T.Code-MB1B)
In the below scenario, I am transferring the values from one Plant to another Plant.
Enter the Document Date, Document header text, Movement type, Plant, and Storage Location for the Sending Plant. Click on enter
In the below screen, In the Header part enter the Plant and Storage location of the Receiving Plant. In the Items level, enter the material, Quantity, and Storage location of Receiving Plant and then Save. The system will generate a document (MM document & FI document).

9. Scheduling agreement Process PO
A scheduling agreement (SA) is a long-term agreement with the Vendor by predefined conditions. It has certain validity and specific quantity. We can create the SA with or without a Material Number.
SA can be created with reference to PR (Purchase Requisition), Outline agreement, RFQ, or another Scheduling agreement.
Scenario: We have created a Scheduling Agreement with the Vendor for a total of 25 Quantities, and we have split these 25 quantities into 10 and 15 respectively, as per our requirement. So, we need to ask our vendor to dispatch 10 quantities on 03/17/2021 and balance 15 quantities on 03/20/2021.
Advantages of SA: It reduces the processing time and paperwork as it replaces the traditional creation of standard PO. It enables negotiations with the vendor for more favorable conditions. Available Item Categories for Scheduling Agreement:
- Standard
- Consignment
- Third-party
- Text
Document types for scheduling agreement:
- LP- Without Release Documentation- It is used to transfer the message to the vendor once SA created.
- LPA- With Documentation
