Hi Friends, let us look at some of the exciting features in purchase requisitions for the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2502.
Order Acknowledgment and Advance Shipping Notification for a Purchase Requisition Item
Using the app My Purchase Requisitions - New, in the context of central requisitioning, you can now view the follow-on documents for a purchase requisition item such as Order Acknowledgment, which is a confirmation from a supplier to deliver specified quantities of products at specified prices within specified times, and Advance Shipping Notification, which contains information provided by the supplier about times of issue and receipt for specific quantities of ordered materials.
As an employee, in the My Purchase Requisitions – New app, you can now view the Order Acknowledgment and Advance Shipping Notification in the Status Details of the purchase requisition item.
For service items or enhanced limit, the order acknowledgment and advance shipping notification document is not supported and will not appear in the Status Details.
View Parked Invoice in the Status Details of a Purchase Requisition Item
Using the app, My Purchase Requisitions – New app, you can now view the parked invoice as a follow-on document for the purchase requisition item.
It can be viewed in the Status Details of the purchase requisition item. The parked invoice is a type of supplier invoice, where the already entered data is retained until the required information to post the invoice document is obtained.
Support of Advanced Purchase Order Scenarios in Process Purchase Requisitions (V2)
You can now create purchase orders for purchase requisitions with advanced fields from the Process Purchase Requisition (V2) app.
For instance, when you are creating a purchase order for a purchase requisition with purchase requisition item category U (stock transfer PR) or purchase requisition document type UB, a message is displayed with simulation check performed for Manage Purchase Orders, then the purchase order is automatically created and you are navigated to the Display Purchase Order - Advanced app to view the purchase order.
Process Purchase Requisitions
This app is deprecated and will be removed from the SAP Fiori Launchpad in a future release. We recommend that you switch to the successor app Process Purchase Requisitions (V2) at your earliest convenience.

OData V2 API: Purchase Requisition
The API service API_PURCHASEREQ_PROCESS_SRV is deprecated with the release SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2402. We recommend you switch to the successor API service API_PURCHASEREQUISITION_2 as soon as possible.
