Hello,

Standalone scenario: As the name suggests, All the procurement functions are done in SRM & financials are handled by backend system.

The customer does not have a productive Materials Management system and wants to handle the

entire process locally within the Enterprise Buyer, integrating only to an accounting system.

- Accounting processes (including FI, CO, and AM) must still be handled by a back end system. All

validations and approvals are handled directly within Enterprise Buyer rather than in a back end

system.

- A shopping cart is created locally and will be further processed locally to create a purchase order.

Self service procurement Yes, PDP- No

Hope this helps.

Can we say Standalone scenario is nothing but SRM as an addon

can we also perform Service Procurement with this scenario

Hello,

In one way you can say as Add on to clients financial system but we also have SRM as add on ECC, so we should not confuse between Standalone & Add on.

Simple service procurement is supported. (No complex hierarchies).

Can SRM be an addon to ECC's planning System such as PP.

Does SRM as an addon support SP,SSP,PDP.

Hello,

As per documentation SRM as add on supports Self service procurement, service procurement & PDP scenario, but I have not worked on this solution, so I can not comment much. See the details in the link.
