Standalone Scenario for services procurment.

[Former Member]

Dear All,

we are working on SRM 5.0 Classic scenario with ECC 6.0 as a backend system. Now we want to include External Service Management (ESM) through SRM.

Now the problem is for services only can we have standalone scenario, where in only FI documents will be posted in ECC, Rest of the stuff like PO/ POC/ GR/GR Confirmation will happen over SRM only.

Kindly suggest the Process flow for this business scenario & the customization needed.

Regards,

Hello Vivek,

SRM 7.0 shopping cart & PO do not support service hierarchies. Good idea will be to use the supported service hierarchy scenario, which works well in classic implementation:

1. Create a service PReq in ECC

2. Send to SOCO or create a RFx

3. Trigger ECC PO from SRM

4. GR/Confirmation can be done ECC or SRM

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

To set the scenario to local, you can use bbp_determine_logsys badi for services. Standalone scenario gives you option of Time recording in SRM which you can use for services. If you are comfortable with non po based invoicing, then it should not cause you any problems.

Hi,

You can configure the Service procurement in the current Classic scenario what you are using .

Please configure the necessary steps for service procurement .

Standalone scenario is one of the technical scenario where the company which is implementing the SRM does not have

SAP R/3 as Backend, they will have some other non sap system for FI
