• Key Concepts: 
  Internal Request Processing (IRP) is a component of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) that enables companies to manage their internal requests for goods and services. It allows companies to create, track, and approve requests for goods and services from internal departments or external suppliers. IRP also provides a platform for collaboration between internal departments and external suppliers. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Internal Request Processing, companies must first create an internal request in the SRM system. This request can be created by an internal department or an external supplier. Once the request is created, it can be tracked and approved by the appropriate personnel. The request can then be sent to the supplier for processing. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an internal request, it is important to provide as much detail as possible. This will help ensure that the supplier understands the request and can provide the necessary goods or services in a timely manner. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all requests and their status so that any issues can be addressed quickly.
