Feeder Workflow
When you create a feeder, you are creating a procurement request in the SAP GUI, in SAP Fiori or via the xSuite web client. This feeder comprises a request for materials to be ordered. The request moves through the workflow to enter the procurement process, in compliance with company signature policy.
This is how employees requesting materials are integrated into the digitized procurement process.
When creating the feeder, you can enter detailed information such as account assignments or suppliers.
For more information on account assignment, see Account Assignment.
Your feeder can connect to a catalog via the OCI (Open Catalog Interface), or to a company catalog system in xSuite. If you are using OCI, you can adopt supplier information to your feeder.
Once the feeder has gone through the workflow and approval and realease has been completed, an SAP purchase requisition will be automatically generated.
Notice
For the purchase requisition to be created automatically, the feeder must already contain all the necessary information for the creation of an SAP purchase requisition.
If the system fails to generate a purchase requisition, you may need to edit it. For more information, see "Edit Feeder" (Role PFET).
