Hi

Please follow answers

a) What is direct procurement and what will be the process in CS and ECS?

Ans -

Direct procurment mean procument if direct material (production material)

b) What is the difference with Plan-Driven procurement and Direct procurement?

Ans - both the things are differant

direct procurement is normal procument cycle .. SC - PO - GR IV ..

after SC other doc can be created in back end depending upon the senario.

Plan driven procument is degined to get requirements from other back end system in sourcing cockpit directly, they does not require any approval flow in SRM as that of normal approch.
