  Key Concepts: 
  An overdue purchase order is a purchase order that has not been fulfilled by the supplier within the agreed upon timeframe. This can occur when the supplier fails to deliver the goods or services on time, or when the supplier fails to provide an invoice for payment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SRM, an overdue purchase order can be identified by running a report that shows all purchase orders that have not been fulfilled within the agreed upon timeframe. The report can be filtered by date range, supplier, and other criteria. Once identified, the overdue purchase order can be addressed with the supplier to ensure timely delivery of goods and services. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to monitor overdue purchase orders regularly to ensure timely delivery of goods and services. Additionally, it is important to have a process in place for addressing any overdue purchase orders with suppliers. This could include sending reminders or escalating the issue with the supplier if necessary.
