Notification and Order category for external service procurement process

[ezlyn]

Dear Experts,

Currently the process of acquiring any external service (Consulting) in our organizations is not mapped to SAP. Now we have to map the process in SAP.

So the steps are:

1. A request will be raised by the concerned user departments for the consulting service. (General Notification in SAP)

2. Another follow up notification created by the coordinating departments for approvals

3. Work order created with control key for external services (With reference to the notification in Step 2)

4. PR automatically created from Order.

5. PO Created once vendor selection is done.

So require your expert advice on what category of notification to be used in step 2. General, PM or CS? An order needs to be generated with reference to this notif.

What category of order should be created in step - Pm Order or Service Order?
