Hi,

Q no 1:

Sourcing Cockpit is an area from where you can source the requirements..There are two ways by which sourcing can be done.

1. The Purchase requisiton created from ECC 6.0 can be pushed to SRM for Sourcing . Either direct material with Part no or

Service requirement without part number

2. The shopping cart created in SRM can be converted to sourcing.

once the requirments are flown from ECC 6.0 and SRM . in the SRM server in sourcing node--click Carry our sourcing.

you can get all the requirements.

From this you can convert it to Purchase order,contract,Auction. Bid invitation.

Q. no 2 :Business Rule Framework.(BRF)

This is related to Workflow .From SRM 7.0 this workflow is called Process controlled workflow. Only by simple rules the

Workflow for Approval process for P.O ,Contract,Bid invitation can be done.
