  1. A) if it is a Plant specific contract, the contract price will be copied to the PO (Contract Release Order). However, if it is a Central Contract without Plant, the Enterprise IMG for Central Contract decides if the price should come from either the Plant conditions in the Central Contract OR searching for Info record based on the vendor, pur org, and plant of the PO (Contract Release Order)

  2. B) Back in R/3 version 4.0, SAP release a feature for generating a PO at goods receipt without a PO. This depend on the Auto PO indicator assigned to the movement type in the IMG. You may want to define a different movement type for this scenario so that movement type 101 can only be used for GR to PO. In such a case, we do not expect the goods receipt person to enter the purchasing organization. Therefore in order to locate the info record, the standard purchasing organization assigned to the receiving plant will be used.

  3. C) The subcontracting scenario do not use the standard purchasing organization for any price determination, when creating the PO for aubcontacting material, the system search for Info record with the 'subcontracting' info category. At point of goods receipt of the subcon PO, the PO price is used for debit to purchase expenses account and its GR/IR clearing account; the consumption account will be created for the components used to produce the subcon material and its price comes from the component material master accouting view depending on its price control.

  4. D) Consignment material has no price as it belongs to the vendor. At goods issue of the consignment material and transfer of consignment stock to own stock, the store will only enter vendor, material, and plant; the purcahsing organization is determine via the standard purchasing org assigned to the plant in the Enterprise IMG. In this manner this info record will be located for the price use to post the transactions.

  5. E) Pipeline material has basically no ourchasing and inventory management. We assume supply pf such material from the vendor via a Pipe. In performing goods issue or backflushing (retrospective goods issue), the store will enter only the vendor, material, and plant; the last piece of data which is the purchasing organization so that the info record can be determined is coming from the standard purchasing organization in the Eneterprise IMG. Bare in mind there are no jnventory movements in this transaction.
