Further Information
The Planning Supply business process enables your company to effectively carry out material and capacity planning. You are provided with an up-to-date overview of the demand and supply situation for either a product and supply planning area combination, or a product, product specification, and supply planning area combination. The multi-level planning run calculates the required supply and then creates the supply and demand pegging network accordingly, also taking into consideration the selected product specification. If planned order is created manually product specification must be provided for specified products.
If there are planning issues, the system raises exceptions to alert you to them. You can then decide what action to take, for example, you can manually create or update planning proposals. The load leveling function is also available to verify the feasibility of the supply plan and level out the load if it is not possible to increase capacity.

The Processing Requests for Quotation business process enables your purchasing department to bundle your company's purchasing requirements and to find appropriate sources of supply for the materials and services required.

You can invite new or existing suppliers to participate in requests for quotation and compare the quotes received easily in the system to determine most suitable supplier for your requirements.
Once you have determined the winning quote, the bidders are notified about the outcome of the request for quotation process, and follow-up documents, such as purchase orders or contracts, can be created.

The Processing Purchase Orders business process enables you to work on automatically created purchase orders or to manually create a purchase order with or without reference to a contract or a list price. You can also search in a supplier catalog for the products to be ordered. The purchase order can contain stock material with or without product specification, services, or non-stock material that can be ordered for different purposes (for example, for cost centers, projects, or as an individual material within an asset procurement process). You can also create third-party purchase orders for materials and services manually, which can be assigned to sales orders, service orders, or customer projects. If all relevant data is maintained, the purchase order is sent to the supplier, which can also be an affiliated company that uses either SAP Business ByDesign or SAP ERP. It is also possible that an approval procedure depending on the purchase order value is in place. Optionally, a purchase order acknowledgment can be used. The process can have multiple degrees of automation.

Alternatively, your supplier, which can also be an affiliated company, can send you these documents electronically as XML messages. An automated invoice-verification process compares all supplier invoices with their corresponding purchase documents, if available.
You can also charge supplier invoice items to partner companies, and you can distribute additional costs, such as freight, among all other supplier invoice items.
When the supplier invoice is complete and correct, you post it. The supplier invoice is then used to pay your suppliers. If relevant, the system also creates new fixed assets automatically.

The Processing Payables and Payments business process enables the processing of outgoing payments initiated either internally by your company or externally by your suppliers.
Payments can be made manually or automatically via a payment run in which the system proposes the open items for payment. You then release the payments and the system posts them to accounting. You create the payment medium, either manually or as part of an automatic run. The standard work center provides checks, outgoing bank transfers, credit memos, as well as other country-specific payment methods. Once the payments have been debited from the bank account, the bank statement is entered in the system, in which it is uploaded electronically or entered manually, before being confirmed. If payments are initiated externally, the bank statement provides the notification that a payment has been made. The payments are matched in the system to the open invoices before being cleared.
