• Key Concepts: 
  Purchasing Info Record (PIR) is a component of the Materials Management (MM) module in SAP. It is used to store information about a vendor and the materials they supply. This information includes the vendor’s contact details, pricing, delivery terms, and other relevant data. The PIR is used to create purchase orders and to track the status of orders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The PIR can be accessed through the Fiori UI for Materials Management (MM-FIO). To create a PIR, you must first enter the vendor’s details into the system. Once this is done, you can enter the material details such as pricing, delivery terms, and other relevant data. Once all of the information is entered, you can save the PIR and use it to create purchase orders. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a PIR, it is important to ensure that all of the information is accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that purchase orders are created correctly and that vendors are paid on time. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the PIR so that they can be updated in the system.
