  How to use it: 
  In SAP SRM-Supplier Relationship Management, unplanned items can be requested and approved through the SRM system. The buyer can create a request for an unplanned item, which is then sent to the supplier for approval. Once approved, the item is added to the purchase order and can be tracked and managed through the SRM system.
