Hi

once you add the sc into workarea , you can negotiate the vendor and assign the vendor and create a follow on document like bid inviatation, purchase order , contract, auction or propose source of supply.

but this space is only for stratergic buyers.

You can source goods using auctions or RFx (request for information, request for proposal, and/or request for quotation). You can source goods with or without integration of Sourcing. As a professional purchaser, Sourcing helps you to process your requirements and to determine the best source of supply.

The Sourcing application is the main entry point for the purchaser to identify sources of supply. Here, you can create:

Purchase orders

Auctions

Contracts

RFxs

Hello

Assign Requirements to a Purchasing Group

...

1. Select items from other purchasing groups in the search results.

2. Choose Assign to me.

As long as an item remains unprocessed, it appears in the worklist of your purchasing group.

Hello Shrinivas,

Add Work Area Functionality

Work Area

You can select relevant requirements from the overview (individually or all at once), you can add these to the work area, and remove them. Requirements that you return to the worklist are available to other purchasers immediately. You can use other functions to process the requirements that you have selected in your work area, for example, to create follow-on documents:

1.Hold

You can save requirements in the work area in order to process them later. Requirements that you have held also appear in the worklist of the other members of your purchasing group. When you leave the application, other purchasers can then process these requirements.

2.Propose Sources of Supply

3.Document Preview

4.Group Requirements

5.Create Purchase Order

6.Create Bid Invitations

7.Create an Auction...etc

For the issues,please check the attributes maintained,and also if inherited or not

Hi,

'Assign to me' functionality requires you to put yourself under a purchasing group.

You are getting this error because you have not assigned yourself to a Purchasing group in org structure. Go to ppoma_bbp txn and put your position/user id under a purchasing group. Alternativey right click on the position id, select Goto> Purchaser assignments. Then Assign> select a suitable purchasing group.
