Supplier unable to see service PO

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am transferring Service PO from ECC (Ehp 4.0) to SUS.

However the supplier is unable to see the services in SUS.

Please note : I am sending the PO in XML format , not via IDOC.

Kindly let me know about the hierarchial settings to be done on the SUS side for supplier to be able to see the Service PO.

Pl reply asap.

Thanks & regards,

Nikhil

Hello,

what have you done to send an XML-PO from ECC to SUS.

I receive an error message in the workflow.

Do I have to configure SOAMANAGER?

Hi Nikhil

see SAP limitations on SUS

Note 1355601 - Service PO not posted in SUS

Classic Scenario: The restriction with regard to service procurement can be lifted by a consulting solution as described in OSS note 868192 (MM-SRV-SUS). Here, also confirmation documents can be used within the operational purchasing process

No scenario is provided for service procurement using MM-SRV and SAP Supplier Self-Services (SUS) in the standard SRM system up to and including SRM 6.0. As of SRM7.0, but only in combination with ECC6.0 Enhancement Package 4, SAP has standardized the solution as far as possible.

For detailed information about the release strategy, contact your sales contact or the relevant contact person in SAP Solution Management.

SAP Consulting offers a consulting solution that provides the processing of purchase order for external service using SUS and MM-SRV. The implementation of this solution is a service subject to charge.

The following prerequisites apply for the implementation of the consultation solution:

SAP Supplier Self-Services as of Version 3.0 (contained in SAP SRM 4.0).

SAP R/3 as of Version 4.6c or SAP ERP.

SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 (contained in SAP SRM 4.0).

SRM 7.0 in combination with ECC6.0 with an Enhancement Package lower than Enhancement Package 4

Solution

The SUS-MMSRV consulting solution allows you to process external service orders from an SAP R/3 system or a SAP ERP system using SAP Supplier Self-Services. The solution tries to avoid modifications to the standard system if possible.

The standard MM-SUS scenario is extended to include the following functions:

The transfer of external service items from R/3 or ERP purchase orders (item category D) to the SUS system.

The distinction between material orders and service orders in SUS. The relevant subsequent processes expire differently after the order confirmation.

The combination of planned and unplanned services (limits) in a purchase order item is possible. Therefore, each standard case may be displayed with flat structures when you enter the purchase order in MM-SRV.

Purchase order confirmation is possible at service package level (including possible limits). Services cannot be confirmed separately in the R/3 system or ERP system. The package ensures that the complete original purchase order item is confirmed.

Service entry:

A service entry in SUS is transferred to the R/3 system or ERP system using an IDoc after you submit the entry screen. Service entry sheets are created there and they are then available for release. You can perform the service entry in a number of ways:

Service entry of planned services: you can confirm planned services in the service entry in SUS. An overdelivery may occur if quantities are still open.Service entry using time recording: planned services, for which a time recording is useful, can be split up. Time recording by the hour or by the day is possible.

Service entry for limits: You can use the free-text entry of new items and also the OCI-enabled catalogs to implement limits.

You can create invoices for the relevant service entries and send them to the ERP system.

In addition to the standard MM scenarios, the solution supports an integration with the Plant Maintenance (PM) module and the Project System (PS) module of the R/3 system or ERP system.

Before an implementation, it is useful and necessary to perform a Fit/Gap analysis. To do this, we usually require a two-day workshop together with the customer.
