ROS- Supplier registration

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

We need to implement Supplier registration process (ROS). We have plan driven procurement with MM-SUS scenario.

As per the MM-SUS process, vendor should be created in MM and transferred to SUS using BD14. To enable the same vendor to do bidding in SRM system, we need to do BBP_GET_VD. But if we have ROS, what would be the right approach?

We have referred even SAP help but not clear (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/b2/a298403de08368e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)

Can anyone give step by step approach for ROS process with MM-SUS scenario.

Rgds,

Hi Prasanna,

you are facing a typical situation. The registration process by standard was not thought thru completely.

With the Supplier Registration Scenario, the master record is created in SRM and with version 7.0 be downloaded to ERP. From there an upload can take place again. SAP's assumption is, that ALL vendors are registered and then downloaded to ERP. Practically this is not the case. Most companies have a central ERP based driven process. A process you would expect is not possible within the available standard. What you can do is the following:

Use the registration till the point of master record creation. Manually follow procedures and create master records centrally in ERP, replicated them then to SRM and SUS,

Or, when possible, separate out SUS-MM suppliers and depending on process follow the different standards.

Or define registration as the main process and let all suppliers register via the page (that is the non-practical way of the process) and make SRM as the central repository for all master records (which I have not seen any company doing it)

Or manipulate the process with programming to fit the environment.

Cheers,

Hi Prasanna,

For suppliers registered through ROS , and approved vendors can be transfered to ERP through the option bussiness partner monitor--> transfer to backend.
