The purchase exchange offers the possibility to start price inquiries from the service specification and to retrieve the updated prices in a document.
The purchase exchange is called up via Actions in the navigation menu under Process. A card opens in which the supplier can be selected. It should be noted that a vendor must be defined for the supplier. The receipt for the purchase exchange is then opened.
