Can you create a purchase order with reference to a scheduling agreement for ordering materials?

A purchase order can indeed be created with reference to a scheduling agreement for ordering materials, making the assertion that it cannot be true. In SAP, scheduling agreements are used to provide long-term agreements between a vendor and a buyer, encompassing planned delivery dates and quantities over a period.

When a buyer needs to procure materials based on a scheduling agreement, they can create a purchase order that references that agreement. This allows for a streamlined procurement process, as the details outlined in the scheduling agreement, such as prices and delivery terms, can be automatically populated in the purchase order.

Creating a purchase order with reference to a scheduling agreement is a standard feature of SAP's material management module, promoting efficiency in the purchasing process. Therefore, the correct understanding is aligned with the functionality that purchase orders can be generated based on existing scheduling agreements.
