Button "Purchase request" (= create Purchase request)

Button "Report Purchase request"

From 2020 versions we split the SAP Variant settings to:

- SAP Variant - Add to existing (Default)

- SAP Variant - New Purchase Request

Setting

Description

SAP Variant - Add to existing (Default)

The system searches for an existing open document for the same requester, and the dates are the same in which it adds the request.

If no purchase exists, it creates a new one with "Valid to" = today + 30 days.

Note:

- Requester must be the same

- Purchase request must be open

- Valid to Date from Purchase request must be tomorrow or later

- will always use the latest existing purchase request

- "Valid to" must be smaller as the defined delivery date.

SAP Variant - New Purchase Request

It always creates a new SAP purchase request document.

Note: Purchase requests are generated per line regardless of how many lines are using the same supplier.

The Button "Purchase request" directly creates a new SAP Purchase request document.

If an open Purchase request for the current user is existing, Beas inserts the request in the existing document.

The button "Purchase request report" opens the related SAP Report window. From this you can create a Purchase quotation and Purchase order.

The Default Variant is the SAP Variant. If you make an update and used beas Variant in an older beas Version, then the beas Version is the default Variant.

Up to SAP 9.1 no Purchase request function was available inside the SAP software.

Yet, this was an important function and the Beas Addon has delivered a good solution for this since SAP 8.8.

With SAP 9.2 a complete purchase request function is available.
From the beas side it is not possible to disable existing functions without losing compatibility.

This is the reason why 2 different purchase request variants are available.

Function	Beas Variant	SAP Variant
Completely SAP integrated	no	yes
Usability	good	good
using beas stand alone modus	yes	no
functionality	good	very good

If you do not require a special functionality, which is only inside the beas Variant, then you can simply use the SAP Variant.
