In Third-Party Order Processing(BD3/BDK/BDN), SAP automatically generates a Purchase Requisition (PR) as soon as a sales order requiring external procurement is created. While this standard behavior supports seamless procurement execution, many organizations need greater control over when procurement activities should actually start. For example,
- customer downpayment have not been received
- customer confirmation still outstanding
- pricing negotiations not finalized.
In such situations, automatically generating Purchase Requisitions can result in unnecessary procurement demands and additional operational effort.
This blog demonstrates how the Supply Block functionality can be used together with a schedule line delivery block to prevent Purchase Requisition creation in Third-Party Processing until the order is ready for procurement.
