Sourcing Function In SRM7.0

[Former Member]

HI, My Experts:

I work in SRM7.0 ECS.

I have 2 questions about Sourcing Function .May I get your help?

1、I defined "Define Sourcing for Product Categories" as "Sourcing is always carried out".But I confused following : I create one SC (without supplier),then the item do not go to the purchaser's sourcing application(purchaser's worklist).The Following Document of the SC is a incomplete PO and the status of PO is"Saved". Why?

2、I actived the PDP scenario ,I can get the data about the requiments in ECC only if the requiments have one source of supplier.If not ,the SRM will dispay "Enter exactly one partner of type Supplier"in SLG1. Must the PR have source of supplier?

Hi Alex,

regarding your first question, the SC is supposed to go to the Sourcing Cockpit / Purchaser's Worklist.

Check your settings for the product categories, maybe you are missing a range. It also is possible, that there is a BADI active overruling the standard setting.

Hi Alex,

did you put a "*" into the table to control the sourcing for product categories?

You need to specify the categories for which sourcing is supposed to be carried out.

Hi,Claudia

I do like this :

Category ID Sourcsys sourcing

01 BNWCLNT600 sourcing always carried out

02 BNWCLNT600 sourcing always carried out

I did not use "*" in the Category .

hm - by standard with these settings it is supposed to go to the sourcing cockpit.

Are you also using this categorywithin your shopping cart?

Is there BADI "SRM_SRC_DETERMINE" active with a specific implementation for your case?

Hi Alex

01 and 02 product category shopping carts always go purchasers worklist though they have a valid source of supply..

Sourcing is always carried out

SAP Enterprise Buyer transfers each item to the purchaser's sourcing application.

Hi Alex,

by standard all shopping carts containing the product category 01 or 02 are supposed to go to the sourcing cockpit.

When this not the case in your environment, something has been implemented to influence the standard.

I am asking if the BADI has been implemented and activated. Is it?

Which service level is your system?

Hi Alex,

seems you have the same product categories locally as well within the Backend (01 for SR2CL100 as well for BNWCLT600).

The system does not know, what to do. Remove the local categories. Just put one category for "Sourcing always carried out" and test the process.

What are you ordering - free text, material?

Hi,

Question

I defined "Define Sourcing for Product Categories" as "Sourcing is always carried out".But I confused following : I create one SC (without supplier),then the item do not go to the purchaser's sourcing application(purchaser's worklist).The Following Document of the SC is a incomplete PO and the status of PO is"Saved". Why?

Ans: while creating SC you have to enter the vendor then only it will be in the Purchaser's worklist .It you are creating a SC without vendor it is a incomplete P.O it will show as P.O is saved.

Ques

、I actived the PDP scenario ,I can get the data about the requiments in ECC only if the requiments have one source of supplier.If not ,the SRM will dispay "Enter exactly one partner of type Supplier"in SLG1. Must the PR have source of supplier?

Ans: In the PDP scenario the PR is coming from ECC if you know the Soruce of supply better assign in the ECC ,in SRM the P.O iis created otherwise you have to assign the soruce in the SRM then only PO is created in SRM

Hi.Ganesh:

Thanks for your reply.

But,Ans: while creating SC you have to enter the vendor then only it will be in the Purchaser's worklist .It you are creating a SC without vendor it is a incomplete P.O it will show as P.O is saved.

I do not think I must add a vendor in the SC,the purchaser can assign one to the SC in the Sourcing .If I active "Sourcing always carriede out ",the SC will be in the "Purchaser's worklist",not generate one Saved PO.

Ans: In the PDP scenario the PR is coming from ECC if you know the Soruce of supply better assign in the ECC ,in SRM the P.O iis created otherwise you have to assign the soruce in the SRM then only PO is created in SRM
