• Key Concepts: 
  Purchase Request Processing (PRP) is a component of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) that enables organizations to streamline their purchasing process. It allows users to create, manage, and track purchase requests from the initial request to the final approval. It also provides a centralized platform for managing supplier relationships and tracking supplier performance. 
  
  How to use it: 
  PRP can be used to create purchase requests, which are then sent to suppliers for review and approval. Once approved, the purchase request is sent back to the organization for further processing. The organization can then track the progress of the purchase request and monitor supplier performance. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a purchase request, it is important to include all relevant information such as item description, quantity, delivery date, and payment terms. This will ensure that suppliers have all the necessary information to accurately process the request. Additionally, it is important to keep track of supplier performance in order to ensure that they are meeting expectations.
