Hilary Davies Shelby Oct 17, 2005:
Ahhh! Thanks very much for the clarification.
rainerc (X) (asker) Oct 17, 2005:
It's part of our SAP system (R/3) we use in the company (transaction sterm)
Hilary Davies Shelby Oct 17, 2005:
Is it the SAPTerm CD? or something else? Terms do change/get added, etc, so sometimes it does make a difference.
rainerc (X) (asker) Oct 17, 2005:
I'm using the latest version, but that realy shouldn't make a difference
Hilary Davies Shelby Oct 17, 2005:
@ Stephen and Rainer - I'd be interested to know which (version number, etc) "SAP dictionaries" you are looking up? This info would be very helpful for those of us who post/answer SAP questions to see. Thanks a lot!
rainerc (X) (asker) Oct 17, 2005:
My official SAP dictionary only uses 'order' for Auftrag in the MM context.
Stephen Sadie Oct 17, 2005:
SAP distinguishes this as "job record" = "Auftragssatz" although Auftrag is often "order" in SAP lingo
rainerc (X) (asker) Oct 17, 2005:
there is a difference between 'Auftragssatz' (order record) and 'Bestellsatz'!

Purchase order record

I looked in SAP's internal terminology DB and this term isn't an official SAP term. However, the term "Bestellentwicklungssatz" IS used, with the corresponding translation of "purchase order history record".

So I suggest "purchase order record" to separate it clearly from just an "order record".

This is from the MM component

More research using other official SAP terminology: "Bestellpreisentwicklungssatz" is translated as "order price history record" with "purchase order price history record" as a permitted synonym.

Again, this SAP terminology DB (issued by SAP) does not contain Bestellsatz, but I think the use of "purchase order" to separate the term from Auftragssatz (which has the official translation of just "order record").
Note from asker:
thanks very much Joanne!

agree Hilary Davies Shelby : this is what I would have gone for too - they're usually (at least in MM and Retail) quite clear about distinguishing PO from order. Hi Joanne ;-)
