Guide to create Purchasing Info Record

Purchasing Info Record

Purchase info records contain details on the conditions of ordering a certain item from a vendor. They are maintained at the vendor and material combination and may include information on pricing and terms, over delivery and under delivery thresholds, scheduled delivery dates, and availability periods.

Both at the level of the purchasing organization and the plant, purchase information records might be maintained.

Four different procurement types—listed below—can each have their own information record.

Standard

Standard orders are detailed in the Standard Info Record (orders include details of vendor and material). This information record will indicate the vendor's cost for providing the specific material

The creation of information records for products and services is possible both with and without master records.

Subcontracting

Orders under subcontracts are detailed in the subcontracting information record. This information record will reflect the cost of assembling the raw materials that the ordering party supplies.

Pipeline

Information on material supplied by the vendor via pipes is contained in the pipeline information record.

Consignment

Information on the items maintained on the ordering party's premises is contained in the consignment info record. The vendors' pricing for removing materials from consignment stock is listed in this information record.
