Subject: ME57 - Assign and Process Business Process

SAP client currently has settings to ONLY allow for assignment of vendor (auto or manual) in ME57 transaction My experience is that ME57 typically is setup that Purchasing can do all their work in this transaction before creating PO e.g. update price, add notes in header or line item etc. Client is not really utilizing ME57 right now because of the pre-work they do outside the system prior to create PO. Instead they are using a manual process of ME5A and print...they write notes (outside system) of req status (waiting for pricing etc, email sent to vendor for info). Once they have all the required info they just call up the req and drag/drop to create PO. I'm thinking if we change ME57 to allow them to keep notes on req, add pricing to req etc...that could eliminate their need to print ME5A (manual processes outside system). ALSO, there is an issue with their current ME5A print as if there is 1 material assigned to 2 Outline Agreements...the outline agreements don't print on the list...so they don't know there is an agreement (not using auto assign on ME57) and therefore the req is not getting assigned to either agreement. Looking for feedback on what process others have seen with respect to ME57 (update req/add notes etc). Have done a quick search on the internet for "best practice" and not finding one.
