Hi,
1) We have a process flow in which the PR from R/3 will be transferred to SRM for sourcing and then the follow on documnet will be created in MM.========Classic Scenario
2) We have a process flow in which the PR from R/3 will be transferred to SRM for sourcing and then the follow on documnet will be created in SRM and copy of the same to MM.========Extended Classic Scenario.
Please let me know which of the above scenario can be used for stock /non -stock irems and which can be used for both.
Thanks,
Manu
Hi Manu,
It is good that you thought upon this.
Your scenario 1 holds good only for Indirect Material i.e. PRs with account assignment category. You will not be able to create a Classic PO for Direct Materials in standard SRM. However this can be achieved through enhancements.
Your scenario 2 holds good for both Direct and Indirect materials.
I am not sure if you want both the process in parallel.

Hi,
In Classic scenario only the PR can be generated in SRM Server (EBP)all the other things like P.O ,GR, Invoice verification happens in backend SAP R/3 that is why only INDIRECT material procurement is preferred.
Stock items cannot be used in classic Scenario
In Extended Classic both the Direct material (Stock items) & Indirect material can be used since
P.R and P.O can be processed in SRM server, GR and Invoice verification happens in SAP R/3
There is nothing related to account assignment ,in both cases you have enter the G/L account.
Hope it is clear

Hi Manu,
I have had this issue earlier and realised that direct material PRs do not create classic PO and only create a local PO in SRM. Also this was confirmed by SAP.
And yes acc assignment category is the key. PR without account assignment marks the field DIRECT_PROC i.e. for direct material.
Refer the which can give you the resolution.
Let me know if any clarifications required.

Only account assigned PRu2019s will be transferred to SRM , in case client is not looking to use SRM for stock procurement (Classic Scenario)
Also, in case NON-account assigned PRu2019s are transferred to SRM will it result in Backend PO.
Please let me know.

Yes the distinction is with account assigned PR. If acc ass is there system treats as non-stock item and visa - versa.
So even for a stock Item if you pass the acc ass (dummy) it will create a PO in ECC. For an actual non-stock (acc assigned ) PR it will anyway create an ecc PO.
I hope this clears your doubt.
