Business Case
The case is for an European life science & industrial product manufacturer. It is observed that in business
savings up to 40,000 USD can be achieved if procurement of materials from one vendor can be done in
more than one currency. Existing structure of SAP design enables only one currency for each vendor and
hence enhancement or upgradation is required in terms of functionality in which procurement process is
handled when dealing with different currencies.
Proposed Solution
SAP offers a functionality of Vendor Subrange which can be used to maintain different purchasing data
for the same vendor.
Vendor Subrange
This functionality is utilized to ensure that different currencies can be used for the same vendor. All
possible currencies need to be maintained in vendor master which can be used in the purchasing
document like purchase order (or scheduling agreement).
