HI Everyone,

I remember, in SRm 5.0, buyer can change shopping cart whole sourcing from sourcing cokpit. Has this been changed in SRM 7.0? We are nota able to change the SC in Sourcing cockpit.

Hello,

Yes, you cannot change the shopping cart in sourcing cockpit in SRM 7.0.

In sourcing process, you can only add a vendor and create a draft follow-on document. You are not changing the document here, you are just assigning a vendor during the sourcing.

This behaviour has been changed as of SRM 6.0.

Kind regards,

Ricardo

Ricardo is right - you cannot change SC inSourcing Cockpit. However, after selecting the supplier and selecting 'Create PO Draft", buyer can go and edit the PO draft document from Sourcing Cockpit. And the PO is probably where you would want to change the information anyways.

Hi Gin

SG wants to change the product category in the cockpit.

Are SRM 700 allows the below property?

for ex REQUESTER order free text for WHEELS product category . now BUYER wanted to change TYRES product category instead of WHEELS product category

SAP rules says that

You cannot change a shopping cart directly from the sourcing application.

Since REQUESTER department requested only BUYER department has to source.

BUYER can identify the vendor and add / price only in the cockpit.

Since conflict between REQUESTER and BUYER department.

BUYER duty is whatever REQUEST department has requested needs to be sourced.
