SAP Purchase Requisition – 3
Features of the Purchase Requisition
In this article, we will start discussing the most important features of the purchase requisition: account assignment category unknown is allowed and then valuation price will be discussed.
Account assignment category: Unknown
If you do not know the account assignment object for which the material is being procured when you create the purchase requisition, you can use account assignment category U (unknown) in the purchase requisition
Then you do not need to enter any more account assignment details. If you create a purchase order with reference to this purchase requisition, you must specify precise account assignment information because account assignment category Unknown is not allowed in the purchase orders. Account assignment category U is allowed in purchase orders for external services and blanket purchase orders.

Valuation price
When you create a purchase requisition item for valuated material, the valuation price is pulled from the material master record. For non-valuated material or material without a master record, the creator must manually enter the valuation price. This valuation price can be used for a value-related release procedure. The release can refer to the value of the individual item or to the total value of the requisition. If a previously defined release strategy becomes effective, you can create a request or a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition only after the purchase requisition has been released. You can also dispense with the manual entry of a valuation price and use the missing valuation price as a criterion for your release strategy.
Status and Creation Indicator
If you want to trace whether your purchase requisition items have been processed, evaluate the processing status of the item. You can see the processing status on the Status tab page in the item detail area. The processing status provides information about whether the item has been ordered, not ordered or requested, or whether the item has been converted into an outline agreement. On this tab, the purchase order history of referenced purchasing documents (created with reference to this purchase requisition item) is listed. You can obtain information about previously posted goods receipts and invoices.
