When you create a blanket purchase order for several minor repairs that may occur during the year, you must enter the following data:

• An account assignment category, which determines how the costs for the repairs are allocated to an account assignment object such as cost center or order.
• An overall limit value, which specifies the maximum amount that can be invoiced for all items within the validity period of the blanket purchase order. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 2, Lesson 1.

SAP S/4HANA stores low-level code in the following objects:

• Bill of material (BOM), which is a structured list of components that make up a product or assembly.
• Planning file, which is an internal table that contains information about materials that need to be planned by MRP. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4525, Unit 1, Lesson 1.

To enable partner role determination in purchasing, you must assign a partner schema to relevant document types. A partner schema is a configuration that defines the possible partner roles and functions for a purchasing document such as purchase requisition, purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement. You can assign a partner schema to a document type in Customizing under Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Partner Determination -> Assign Partner Schemas to Document Types. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 3, Lesson 2.

Material requirements planning (MRP) is a process that calculates the net requirements and generates planned orders or purchase requisitions for materials based on various factors, such as demand, supply, lead time, lot size, safety stock, etc. To carry out MRP for a plant, some prerequisites are needed. Two of them are:

• Maintain MRP data in the material master record for the materials to be planned automatically: This prerequisite is necessary, as the MRP data contains the parameters that control how the system plans the material, such as MRP type, MRP group, MRP controller, lot size, procurement type, special procurement, etc. Without these parameters, the system cannot determine the optimal quantity and timing of the material requirements.
• Maintain plant parameters for the corresponding plant in Customizing: This prerequisite is necessary, as the plant parameters define the global settings that apply to all materials in the plant, such as planning horizon, planning calendar, opening period, scheduling margin key, etc. These settings influence how the system calculates the dates and quantities of the planned orders or purchase requisitions.

Contract leakage is a key performance indicator that measures the percentage of purchase orders that do not have a contract reference, although an existing contract could have been used. It indicates how well the procurement organization is utilizing its contracts and avoiding unnecessary spending. Off-contract spend is a similar concept, but it measures the absolute value of purchase orders that are not covered by contracts. Unused contracts are contracts that have not been used at all or have been used below a certain threshold. Purchase order value is the total value of purchase orders created in a given period.

A scheduling agreement is a long-term agreement with a vendor for the supply of materials or services according to a predefined delivery schedule. Some features of a scheduling agreement are:

• A material master record is optional in a scheduling agreement item. You can use item category M (Material unknown) to enter a short text and material group instead of a material number.
• A scheduling agreement can be used for a consignment process. You can use item category K (Consignment) to indicate that the materials are stored at your premises but are still owned by the vendor until you consume them.
• A scheduling agreement item is always plant-specific. You must specify a plant for each scheduling agreement item and you cannot change it afterwards. References: SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement | SAP Learning, Course S4520, Unit 5, Lesson 1.

To completely block a material for procurement in a plant, you can use the following methods:

• Create an entry in the source list with a blocking indicator and NO supplier, which means that you prevent the system from finding any valid source of supply for the material in the plant.
• Use a relevant plant-specific material status in the material master, which means that you restrict the procurement transactions that are allowed for the material in the plant. For example, you can use material status 01 (Procurement blocked) to block all procurement transactions.

The agreement type controls the creation of a scheduling agreement with release documentation. A scheduling agreement is a long-term agreement with a vendor for the supply of materials or services according to a predefined delivery schedule. A release documentation is a document that informs the vendor about the delivery quantities and dates for each scheduling agreement item. You can use agreement type LP (Scheduling agreement with release documentation) to indicate that you want to create a scheduling agreement with release documentation.
