In project planning, a common question arises about how to initiate the procurement of critical components or assemblies (&#8216;long lead items&#8217;) at an early stage. An effective method for this is pre-procurement for projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6524b0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6524b0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is pre-procurement?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-060038e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"060038e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Pre-procurement is a process where the necessary materials for a project are procured in advance. Often, procurement of these materials is intended to start early due to long lead times, even before the construction\u2014especially the bill of materials\u2014of the end product is completed (keyword &#8216;growing bill of materials&#8217;). This can help companies avoid potential delays and bottlenecks during the project and minimize the lead time for the end product. Pre-procurement ensures that the required materials are available at the right time. However, in many cases, it happens that the materials procured in advance go back into the procurement process after the completion and approval of the bill of materials. Thanks to pre-planning within the pre-procurement process with SAP PS, this error can be easily avoided.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15c0db4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"15c0db4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How does pre-procurement work with SAP PS?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d328ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d328ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To use the process, it must first be ensured that the corresponding material is correctly set up.

Other prerequisites include having a project and having the pre-procured material listed in the bill of materials for the end product. For the transfer of &#8216;long lead&#8217; materials into the project to initiate procurement early, it is recommended to use the bill of materials transfer. With this transaction, bill of material positions\u2014rather than the end product itself\u2014can be transferred into the project. It is advisable to define a selection profile in advance, ensuring that the indicator for pre-requirements is activated. In the bill of materials transfer, the created profile is then selected. In the upper part of the entry screen, the operations of the project being considered are selected (e.g., using the project definition). In the lower part of the entry screen selection criteria for the BOM components are entered:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39fc451 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"39fc451\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CN33_1_EN.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"CN33 - Bill of Materials Transfer Entry Screen\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NzEzOTcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cucGlrb24uY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8xMVwvQ04zM18xX0VOLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CN33_1_EN.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-71397\" alt=\"CN33 - Bill of Materials Transfer Entry Screen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CN33_1_EN.jpg 797w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CN33_1_EN-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CN33_1_EN-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pikon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/CN33_1_EN-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">CN33 - Bill of Materials Transfer Entry Screen<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95cbf55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95cbf55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After executing the selection, the subsequent screen displays the selected bill of material positions on the left side and the operations of the project on the right side.
