Purchase Requisition creation, change and release
Performer: Customer Service
Role: C.S. Representatives
Transaction : ME51N


Overview

When funds availability is in place the procurement of services and goods is started by the creation of a Purchase Requisition.

NOTE For procurement of goods or services is worth less than 5000 USD, purchase process can be undertaken thru Micro Purchase procurement (POMP type), which does not require the issue of Purchase Requisition. Also procurement of transport services and procurement from UN entities or thru Cash Repayment from external Partner's stocks does not require a purchase requisition, as it is processed thru a Procurement Order for Joint Statutory (POJS type).

If Customer Service is asked to procure a specific item (not considered in our current LTAs) then should be discussed with Procurement before making firm commitment to the Partner. In this way, Procurement can check to see if may be procured competitively (at least three vendors available) or a waiver would be required. If it seems that a Waiver would be required then we check with UNHRD Procurement Authorities first to see if they concur with the justification. This logic applies also to the Loans & Borrowing cases.


NOTE Only in exceptional cases the Procurement of goods can be also performed through the use of Petty cash. For these cases, it is strictly required to provide a Note for the Record to detail the reasons for that exceptional use; if required the upload of Inventory Stock can be sub-sequentially performed by Support Office upon receipt of a aforesaid Note for the Record, as justification of manual upload. Procurement thru Petty cash can be adopted also in case of Loans/Borrowing process. All relevant costs have to be captured and reflected in the final Debit Note indicating the Petty Cash document registered in Wings. Anyhow it is recommended to avoid the use of Petty Cash to procure NFIs meant for Inventory Stock and to restrict it only to exceptional cases.

Create Purchase requisition

These instructions to create a Purchase Requisition apply specifically to UNHRD sales processes. Anyhow they are also applicable for procurement of goods and services for office use purposes.

To create a new Purchase Requisition follow the path below or go to transaction ME51N:

Logistics > Material Management > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Create Purchase requisition

Prc 1.png

• Select the appropriate Purchase requisition by selecting it from the scroll down menu:

Prc 2.png

The PR types most typically used are those listed below:

Prc 2.1.png

• Select the appropriate Purchase requisition by selecting it from the self-explanatory option on the scroll down menu:

Prc 3.png

NOTE: Create a PR NFI-Goods Waiver only in case authorization for waived procurement has been obtained from management thru procurement section by specification of reason for waiving.

• Enter in the Header text as many details as possible to better define the reason for procurement (e.g. CS and PI number, long description of services or goods):

Prc 4.png

• Depending on the funds details provided and the purpose of PR raise, select one of the Account Assignments listed below:

Prc 5.png

Other specifications to be entered in the Purchase Requisition depend on the specific sales process type:

Procurement of services and goods thru Project Number

Most typically in case of procurement for Sales process, standards WBS structure is applied. Below specifications apply for the creation of the Purchase Request in case of standard sale:

- Account assignment: Enter “P” as account assignment category in case of procurement for External Partner of NON WFP NFI, otherwise select “Q” to procure WFP NFI materials for Internal Partner prepositioned stock in UNHRD warehouses:

Prc 7.png

- Material code: it has to be selected from the range of generic material codes starting with the letter "BO" (e.g. BO71622001); in case the material is not available in the system, a specific request should be submitted thru the Material Master Creation Form to contain minimum specifications required for the creation of the generic new material code. The new material code can be created immediately, and the PR will be completed in time for Finance final release. It could be helpful to enter the text 'On-demand procurement' in the PR header text, to clearly identify the type of sale associated to it. Entering of material code once created and prior to Finance release requires adjustment for Valuation Type and for the valuation price that have to be re-entered. It is strong recommend to select the material more similar to what is going to be procured, and that "BO" materials with batch management are applied to allow the tracking of the items thru Free-zone management.

- Storage location: Storage Location '0002' applies to standard procurement of Goods of items that undertake full WMS process; in case of procurement for External Partner,, storage location is not applicable.

Procurement of goods under Direct Delivery process

Direct Delivery procurement is applied to those sales that foresee the shipment of goods directly from Supplier's location to consignee's. It can be both applied to Internal and to External Partners. Below specifications have to be entered when creating a PR for Direct Delivery sales:

- Account assignment: is P for procurement for both internal or external Partner

- Material code: it has to be selected from the range of material codes starting with the letter "B" (e.g. B71622001). In case the material is not available, the most similar material code can be applied. If there is not suitable material code, this field can be exceptionally left empty (even if Q is applied as Account Assignment) and entered when the proper material code is created (i.e. when Procurement activity is completed and material specifications are available). Release from Finance can be requested even if the material code is not entered, by clearly specify that the process includes direct delivery procurement. It could be helpful to enter the text 'Direct Delivery procurement' in the PR header text. Entering of material code once created does not effect the PR release. When material code is entered on a later stage, Valuation Type has to be entered and valuation price has to be re-entered before saving the PR.

- Material group: in case the material code to be adopted does not exist in the system, select the proper material group that applies to the goods to be procured.

- Storage location: no Storage Location is applicable for 'Direct Delivery' procurement.

- Funds Reservation: apply the FR provided by Finance unit. In line with related SO, entering the FR and the FR item in the account assignment view triggers the WBS element associated to the Internal Partners i.e. S.0001.4.05.012 with description 'UNHRD Int. DD' or to External Partners S.0001.4.05.013 with description 'UNHRD Ext. DD' applies. By entering the FR, system derive automatically all other budget details associated.

- In case of Internal Partner, the plant of reference is the CO/RB plant available in the system; in case of External Partner, the UNHRD Plant of reference applies. Procurement staff amends the delivery address that match with consignee's at PO stage.

Procurement of on-demand goods (limited to HRD Dubai)

On-demand procurement is applied to those sales that involve procurement of items that don’t fall under the standard variety of goods procured by UNHRD. These non-standard goods are neither those procured thru WFP LTAs nor those classified as Corporate Response Stock; they consist of any non-standard item that might be requested by either Internal or External Partners. Below specifications apply for the creation of the Purchase Request in case of on-demand sale:

- Account assignment: is either Q in case of internal Partner or P in case of external Partner

- Material code: it has to be selected from the range of generic material codes starting with the letter "BO" (e.g. BO71622001); in case the material is not available in the system, a specific request should be submitted thru the Material Master Creation Form to contain minimum specifications required for the creation of the generic new material code. The new material code can be created immediately, and the PR will be completed in time for Finance final release. It could be helpful to enter the text 'On-demand procurement' in the PR header text, to clearly identify the type of sale associated to it. Entering of material code once created and prior to Finance release requires adjustment for Valuation Type and for the valuation price that have to be re-entered. It is strong recommend to select the material more similar to what is going to be procured, and that "BO" materials with batch management are applied to allow the tracking of the items thru Free-zone management.

- Storage location: Storage Location '0004' applies to 'ON-DEMAND PROC'.

- Funds Reservation: apply the FR provided by Finance unit. In line with related SO, entering the FR and the FR item in the account assignment view triggers the WBS element associated in the SO to the External or Internal Partners, if existing in UNHRD WBS structure. In case of Sale from Internal Partners, being non-Corporate Response Stock items, the generic WBS element 'S.0001.4.01.005' to be applied in order to receive the items in stock as generic "WFP" material.

Procurement of goods under in-transit process (not applicable to HRD Dubai)

In-transit process is applied to those sales that involve procurement of goods that transit in UNHRD Warehouses for a short lapse of time (i.e. not exceeding 10 days) with the purpose to expedite the outbound process and minimise the efforts from Logistics team when managing such time of cargo during both inbound and the outbound processes. Below specifications apply for the creation of the Purchase Request in case of in-transit sale:

- Account assignment: is P for either Internal or External Partners

- Material code: it has to be selected from the range of material codes available in the Material Master Database or selected amongst the most similar range of materials; in case the material code is not available in the system, the material code field can be left empty

- Material group: in case the material to be adopted does not exist in the system, select the proper material group that applies to the goods that are required to be procured.

- Funds Reservation: apply the FR provided by Finance unit. In line with related SO, entering the FR and the FR item in the account assignment view triggers the WBS element associated in the SO to the External or Internal Partners.

- Storage location: no Storage Location is applicable for 'in-transit' procurement.

NOTE No POWM has to be issued in case of procurement for external partner when in-transit process is applied.

Procurement of goods with Incoterms EX-WORKS/FCA

In case the transport of goods to UNHRD warehouses (i.e. in case of stock implementation, replenishment or on-demand procurement) is established separately due to any contingent reasons, e.g. global volatility and uncertainty of transport, when the validity of offers are subject to changes, and and in line with change of LTAs incoterms to reflect EX-WORKS/FCA, the hubs can be asked to compare the transport cost proposed by the supplier with offers for same transport service coming from the local freight forwarders. In case of procurement EX-WORKS/FCA of WFP NFIs for stock implementation or replenishment of stock and when transport is procured separately by UNHRD, storage location 0005 for "In-transit" should be applied:

0005.png

Then Storage Location 0005 is derived directly by the PO that is raised from the PR; thereof, when Suppliers make the goods available to appointed freight forwarded as per Incoterms EX-works or FCA, the Warehouse team posts the Good Receipt and items result "in-transit" until their receipt to UNHRD warehouses.

NOTE The above storage location is only required when procuring goods for internal Partners (i.e. WFP NFIs) as receipt of goods for external Partner into WMS is performed by posting a POWM as detailed in Chapter 10.2 paragraph 6 Create Purchase Orders Warehouse Management - External Sales.

Procurement of services and goods thru Internal Order

Exceptionally, it might be required to apply an Internal Order as funds detail to be entered in the Purchase Requisition for standard Sales Order, or generically for goods or services to be procured for office purposes. Below specifications apply for the creation of the Purchase Request in case of use of internal order:

NOTE Account assignment: is F for either Internal or External Partners, or for procurement for office purposes.

- Material code: it has to be selected from the range of generic material codes starting with the letter "BO" (e.g. BO71622001); in case the material is not available in the system, a specific request should be submitted thru the Material Master Creation Form to contain minimum specifications required for the creation of the generic new material code. The new material code can be created immediately, and the PR will be completed in time for Finance final release. It could be helpful to enter the text 'On-demand procurement' in the PR header text, to clearly identify the type of sale associated to it. Entering of material code once created and prior to Finance release requires adjustment for Valuation Type and for the valuation price that have to be re-entered. It is strong recommend to select the material more similar to what is going to be procured, and that "BO" materials with batch management are applied to allow the tracking of the items thru Free-zone management. In case of procurement for office purposes no material code is required.

- Material group: in case the material to be adopted does not exist in the system or in case of procurement for office purposes, select the proper material group that applies to the goods or services that are required to be procured.

- Funds Reservation: if required, apply the FR provided by Finance unit. In line with related SO, entering the FR and the FR item in the account assignment view triggers the WBS element associated in the SO to the External or Internal Partners. If FR is not available, apply the Internal Order number provided by Finance unit.

- Storage location: no Storage Location is applicable for procurement thru internal order.
