In the materials management processes within an ERP system such as SAP, the purchase values<\/strong>They represent a set of key parameters that allow you to control and automate different aspects of the purchasing cycle. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These purchasing values, which are configured in the material master within the purchasing tab, include data such as dunning days, tolerances, shipping rules, and automatic supplier reminders. Proper configuration is essential to ensure an efficient purchasing flow aligned with the organization's needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchasing Values Settings in SAP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When configuring a new material in our material master, we have settings in the purchasing tab that we can assign to them to determine the purchasing values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These values can be assigned and configured and we can change them according to our needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The values we have assigned will be moved through the different documents that are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To view this configuration by default, we will access the purchasing tab of the material master:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Purchase values<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each of the values we assign will be marked with a key, which is parameterizable and we can assign different weights to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Purchasing Values Key<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Key that defines the claim days and tolerance limits, as well as the shipping rules and the indicator for obligatory order confirmation of the material for Purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have selected a key purchase values<\/a>, the system fills in the fields with the values stored in Purchasing Customizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the purchasing documents, this data is proposed by the information record system or \u2013 if it does not exist \u2013 by the material master record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In our example we have these values marked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If we subsequently connect our system to supplier systems, automatically, if those days of complaint have passed, an email is sent or the system that we have parameterized, with a text that we have selected, to the supplier itself to remind them that "x" time has passed since the order was placed and it has not arrived or shipped, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
