This lesson develops controlled application of Source Determination, Purchasing Info Records, Contracts, and Scheduling Agreements. The activity uses a procurement team standardizing supplier selection, purchasing approvals, goods receipt, and invoice verification across business units and contributes to the wider objective to execute and control end-to-end sourcing and procurement processes in SAP S/4HANA.
The instructor traces Source Determination, Purchasing Info Records, Contracts, and Scheduling Agreements through a realistic case involving a procurement team standardizing supplier selection, purchasing approvals, goods receipt, and invoice verification across business units. The walkthrough connects navigation, process logic, settings, system messages, and the evidence retained in sourcing and procurement configuration workbook. It also demonstrates how to investigate the condition where purchasing info records produces an inconsistent result for the selected business condition.
Complete a controlled activity covering Source Determination, Purchasing Info Records, Contracts, and Scheduling Agreements and preserve the final result in sourcing and procurement configuration workbook.
Begin where expected SAP behavior first differs from the observed result. Check organizational assignments, master data, configuration sequence, authorization, integration, and transaction evidence separately. Treat “purchasing info records produces an inconsistent result for the selected business condition” as a testable hypothesis until relevant settings, logs, documents, and outcomes confirm the cause.
Learners can apply Source Determination, Purchasing Info Records, Contracts, and Scheduling Agreements, explain the resulting SAP behavior, and defend the outcome through sourcing and procurement configuration workbook.
