Replace with catalog in sourcing

[Former Member]

Hi all,

In sourcing cockpit, I replace a free text shopping requirement to a catalog item and then process it to create a PO.

But when i check the shopping cart, the free text does not get replaced by the catalog product.

This information is available only in the PO

Where in the shopping cart can I see the replaced catalog item

Basically I'm trying to determine whether the shopping cart item is a catalog product or not

HI Venkat...

Which version u r using?

If it is SRM 5 am afraid...it wont support... We replace item with Catalog item from SRM 2007 (SRM 6.0) onwards...

Hi Venkat

Question not clear?

1. Are buyer expected to change the free text product category ?

Answer: - NO

only Requester able to change before he ordered a cart . since now the cart is in Purchaser work list ,requester may not do this request. Admin can do it if he has access on behalf of REQUESTER.

Hi,

I'm devising the solution to find out which are catalog item shopping carts

I was checking the shopping cart using BBP_PD

If there is any way that I can find out that the free text was changed to a catalog item in carry out sourcing

Hi

catalog vendors always has fixed vendor right - so it may not venture to cockpit?

free text item may venture to cockpit upon your sourcing configuration
