Approved SHC not appearing in carry out sourcing

[Former Member]

HI SRM Gurus,

In SRM Web, after the creation and apporval of shopping cart, the buyer checked the items in carry out sourcing (professional purchaser- Sourcing- carry out sourcing). In find tab, seacrh using extended seacrh and then filling out the shopping cart number. The items should show under requirements, but in our case the system did not behave normally as expected because only one of the three items appeared.

I have checked the items using transaction code: BBP_PD then in the table, the sourcing status is "Y" and not "X". Wherein "X" is the ideal status before doing sourcing.

In our company business process is:

1. create Shopping cart (requisitioner)

2. Approval (approvers)

3. Carry out sourcing (to bid invitation-rfi) (buyer)- were some items in shopping cart did not show

4. Process bid invitation (buyer)

5. Vendor quation (buyer)

6. so forth....

please help. What are the possible causes of this error and solution. Please

thanks in advance!

HI,

Thanks for your reply.

I havent done any sourcing yet, because i was not able to proceed with creation of RFI because my items after approval was not appearing.

FYI.

This sceanrio is already escalated to OSS, i need to verify if this is an isolated case, product error or user error.

Please help!

many thanks!

HI,

Im still in start of creation of RFI, some items are not appearing.

Before saving RFI then goes to the approver's inbox. Im caught in between the Approved shopping cart and Creation of RFI. I cannot proceed with creation of RFI because my items where not in the list so with approvals of RFI.

thank you!

 Remove requirements from the worklist using (Complete Item) Green tick mark in the worklist

If the requirement originates in Enterprise Buyer, the requester receives an e-mail with possible reasons for the removal, for example, because a product cannot be obtained in sufficient quantity.

If the requirement is a planned external requirement, the planning system receives a notification that the requirement has been dealt with and will not be processed further in Enterprise Buyer.

I would say they are dead shopping card. no more valid.

As already NMK clarified.

When you select 'Complete Item' in the sourcing cockpit, the system

displays a warning message saying 'Requirement to be completed?'

However will wait for others reply.

regards

Muthu
