Purchase Requisition

Interview questions covered

• During hypercare of an Ariba integration project, sales order-driven procurement (third-party/drop-ship) records migrated from ECC are creating mismatched Ariba requisitions because SD-linked purchase requisition migration objects didn't carry over the sales order reference correctly. How do you troubleshoot this?
• Buyers across multiple purchasing groups report that certain fields on purchase requisitions are mandatory for one group but should be optional for another, yet the field selection is being applied globally. As the architect, how do you diagnose and resolve this?
• In a Central Procurement hub scenario connected to multiple S/4HANA Public Cloud execution systems, sales order-driven third-party purchase requisitions from an SD-integrated execution system are not appearing in the central procurement worklist. How do you troubleshoot this?
• As solution architect, how would you design purchase requisition document types to support both self-service (employee) requisitions and centralized strategic sourcing requisitions across a multi-country S/4HANA rollout, considering downstream FI-AP posting consistency?
• During an S/4HANA Public Cloud migration, sales order-driven third-party purchase requisitions migrated via Migration Cockpit are missing the SD sales order reference (VBAP/VBEP linkage), causing procurement teams to lose traceability between the PO and originating sales order. How would you troubleshoot and fix this using the available migration objects and APIs?
• During a P2P migration to S/4HANA, purchase requisitions created for SD-driven third-party sales orders are migrating successfully via Migration Cockpit, but after a subsequent release upgrade the sales order reference on some migrated requisitions is lost, breaking third-party billing. How would you troubleshoot this?
• What is the purpose of purchase requisition document types in SAP MM, and how do they influence downstream processing?
• After go-live, sales orders created for intercompany stock transfer are not triggering the expected Ariba purchase requisition flow in a hybrid SD-MM-Ariba landscape. What integration points would you check first?
