SAP MM Interview Question

1. What is the difference between a Purchase Order and a Purchase Requisition?

A Purchase Requisition is a document type that gives notification of a need for materials or services. 

A Purchase Order is a document type that is a formal request for materials or services from an outside vendor or plant.  Procurement types may be defined at the line item and can be standard, subcontracting, consignment, stock transfer, or an external service. 

2. Under what conditions are “Planned Orders” created?  What may planned orders be converted to and how is that conversion accomplished?

Planned orders
are always created when the system creates an internal procurement proposal.  In the case of vendor procurement, the MRP Controller may create a planned order or directly create a PR.  The next step for a planned order is to be converted to a PR so it goes to purchasing and is to eventually become a PO.  A planned order can be converted to a PR using transaction code MD14. 

3.What is an Indirectly or Directly created Purchase Requisition?

An Indirectly created Purchase Requisition has been initiated by CBP, the PS Project System, PM Maintenance, and Service Management, or PP Production Planning and Control.

The Directly created Purchase Requisition, is created by a person manually in the requesting department specifying what materials/services, units, and a delivery date.
