Service Procurement with Multiple Service Line items

[former_member526144]

Dear Experts,

We have the following Business Scenario. Request your inputs in addressing this issue.

Business scenario : Most of the Procurement for our client is of services. So, we need to configure services with multiple service line items. This Shopping cart to create PR in ECC. PR to PO conversion to take place in ECC. Now onwards client needs Supplier integration for confirmation of services and sending invoices by Vendor.

Guidance required in the following

1 In Shop functionality if we select services, PR is being created in ECC with only one Service Line item. Whereas if we go for Request functionality, then always it is routing to Bidding process (which is not required for client). Can we create SC with multiple service line items with out request functionality?? Or Can we root the Request functionality with out Bidding process??

2 If we convert the PR to PO in ECC (Classic Scenario), can we go for SUS integration. In such case which is the best way of supplier integration. Can you please guide us on basic steps on installation (can we go for different client in the same server) and configuration.

Request your inputs in this regard

Thank you,

Ravi

Hello,

We suffered the same problem in our company. We have found a way to work with the SRM shopping cart multiple line rollup to ECC single line purchase order.

If the multiple shopping cart line items contain the same location code and cost assignment they will rollup into one ECC purchase order. The system seems to 'think' it is helping you by consolidating your information.

In the Basic Data section of the shopping cart there is a Service line item field. If you enter something in each in that field for each line it will keep it's own line in ECC.

Your implementation may differ slightly from ours but I recommend playing with the location code, cost assignment and Basic Data service line fields until you can see a pattern. Basically you need to find a method to make each line a separate entity so they don't rollup.

Good luck,

Hi Taylor,

Thank you for your reply. Can you please elaborate on the method you followed to achieve this. What are the developments you have done. What kind of BADIs you have used and how you could manage this in consolidation of different line items to single PO line item.

Need your inputs please

Thank You,

Friends,

Even we have a business scenario for which we need multiple lines ECC service PO to be created for multiple lines SRM service PO. The reason is due to consolidation the CO commitment entry is also consolidated and passed for the line 1 delivery period and year combination which is not acceptable by Finance.

Even we are working on technical feasibility study.

Hi,

As per SAP, SRM will not support mulitple service lineitems. But we observed some workaround solution as a standard. hope you might be knowing.

Replicate the service products from R/3 system and create a shopping cart with mulitple services(please not all are planned services) and then it results a service PO in R/3.

thanks
