MEAN Transaction in SAP – Purpose
Sometimes, you may raise a purchase order to a Vendor. At this time of course, you need to let him know where he needs to deliver the same. Now let us look at the below business scenario.
An automobile company named Fast Motors Inc. has an assembly plant in Berlin. It raises a PO to ABC Wipers LLC, to deliver wipers to its factory. However due to supply chain related considerations, Faster Motors wishes to order wipers a bit in advance and stock it up.
There is not enough space in the assembly plant, and for this reason, the company has a storage facility a few miles way. Thus, these additional Wipers need to be delivered there.
By using MEAN, you can define such an address and use it in Purchase Order.
