Lesson Summary

In the third party process, various steps are involved:

• When a sales order is created, a purchase requisition is generated.
• The purchase requisition is then converted into a purchase order (PO).
• The PO is delivered to the vendor.

There are two variants of this process:

• Individual purchase order process - where the PO is delivered to you.
• Third party process - where the vendor delivers the PO to your customer.

For a smooth third party process, the creation of purchase requisition is crucial:

• Creation of purchase requisition is automatic in the third party process.
• Details like document type, item category, and account assignment category for the purchase requisition are essential.
• These details are determined automatically based on the schedule line categories configuration.

Key points about schedule line categories:

• They include the purchase requisition order type, item category, and account assignment category needed for the process.
• The configuration in the schedule line category is critical for the success of the third-party process.
• Specific schedule line categories are required for third party scenarios to ensure the correct creation of purchase requisitions.
