How to order material for a production order

Various other processes within a company can initiate the purchasing process. Does a sales order contain products that need to be purchased immediately? Is the inventory level of an item falling below the specified minimum? Or is there a demand for materials or outsourcing for products in production orders? The purchasing process consists of four steps: creating an order, ordering, receiving goods, and entering the purchase invoice.

The Order action is a process step, where the purchase order is processed and the status is changed to 'Ordered'. Additionally, the Purchase Order (8405) report is generated. Follow these steps to place a purchase order on order.

Step 1: Open the purchase order

Search and select the order on the module homepage. The purchase order will open.

Step 2: Place the purchase order on order

Above the purchase order line, click the Order

Step 3: Print the order

Depending on the set report definition, the Purchase Order (8405) report will appear on your screen. You can print this report if desired.

In the purchase order line, the Order field now contains a checkmark. You will now need to wait for the order to be delivered by the supplier.
