Auto -order / automactially create a shopping cart setup in SRM

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can any one suggest me whether there is any functionality available to set up so that It will avoid the creation of shopping cart for same product with the same vendor and for the same quantity.

So that it can avoid the creation of shopping cart every time.

Basically the idea is that you can make a time set-up for a order/supplier mapping, with a given order quantity for the next 10 orders or orders within the next 2 years.

If this option is not available in SAP SRM system, is there any feasibilty that we can get this thru some development.

Please suggest !!!

When we do this type of activity we do one of the following.

1. Set up a Limit order for the supplier with a limiting value. A limit order can take as many GR's as required and the shopper only needs to GR the Value of each invoice received and not the quantity. This is limited to one item per order though and is normally used for utility bills such as electricity and telephone charges.

OR

2. Set up a multi-line Purchase order with the same item/s many times but with different delivery dates. We work our commitments on delivery date so budget commitments appear in the correct period. The user can add more lines to the PO if they require them or just GR the items on the specified date.

Hope these suggestions are useful?

I would suggest option (2) to be more appropriate.
