This means the following for use:

• If such an article is copied into the requirement request, the description is not taken from the master data but from the order item.
• The cost price of the order item is taken as the order price.
  (This is the case regardless of the "Unspecified item" identifier, but results from the fact that the order item will not have any supplier agreements nor a standard procurement price).

Minimum order quantity for the part in an order. The following functions are available:

When creating a new order article, it is not necessarily necessary to select a part of the parts master. If the parts combo box is empty when saving, a message box will appear to confirm whether it is a pure order article. If this question is confirmed with "Yes", the system creates a virtual part which cannot be found in the parts master. This is then referred to as a pure order item.

In the field 'Procurement data', in the lower part of the mask, you can enter all purchasing-specific data, such as price and quantity. (Documentation of the price maintenance)
The price can be maintained in 2 different ways:

1. Menu item Edit->Price->Edit price (old price NOT in history).
   - The price is overwritten, changes are not traceable later.
2. Menu item Edit->Price->Create new price (old price in history)
   - The old price is given a validity date with today as the end date. A new price with a validity from tomorrow is created. The validity date can be changed as desired and is only to be interpreted as a suggestion by the system.

The "New" button next to the price creates a new price with corresponding validity and serves as a shortcut for the more complicated way via the menu as described above.

When a purchase order item is included in a purchase order, the characteristics of the part assigned to the purchase order item are transferred to the purchase order item. these are the characteristics that completely describe a part. In addition, however, there may be characteristics or properties of a part that are to be given to the supplier for the delivery of the part, such as tolerance values, container weights, etc.

These characteristics can be assigned to an order item here and are then transferred to the order item.

The first column only indicates whether it is the A supplier, the so-called main supplier. This is followed by the supplier name with its supplier number and the order number belonging to the order item.

Price: This is the price negotiated in a supply agreement with this supplier, which has become or will become valid from the date below. Only in the case of real supplier agreements is this price displayed in green, in the case of movements that have been made via a supplier with whom no supplier agreement has been made, this priceis displayed in grey.
The price is also greyed out if the supplier does not have his own price on his supplier agreement (price type: no value). In this case, the currently valid price is taken from the purchase order item master record.

Last price: Here the last price of the ordered article with date at this supplier is indicated.

The creation takes place via the selection of the supplier agreement, after pressing the button "Insert" the selected supplier is taken over into the conditional list. This is also possible via Drag&Drop. The variables can be defined via the "Columns" button and the entry can be edited by double-clicking.

When determining the A-supplier, the information of the conditional supplier is always evaluated first. If no suppliers have been specified here or no condition applies, the "normal" path is taken and the supplier agreement indicator is evaluated.

Of the documents, the description of the document reference is displayed next to the Type. This can be either the short title in the operating language or the description text. The type and file name are also displayed.

(Description of the buttons for maintaining the assignments to the document references)

For procurement documents the control can be set by double click whether this document should be delivered with the order process.

These tabs can only be selected if the part is a purchased part with own supply. For these parts, the costs do not only result from the order costs, but also from the material and labour costs of the parts provided.

A description of the fields can be found in the tab of the same name on the production roll.
