ERS indicator of PO item is not checked for Contract assigned SRM POs.

[Former Member]

Hi Team

We have SRM PO which is assigned to contract as source of supply and vendor for the contract document is assigned with ERS functionality (Aut. setlement in vendor master) for Invoice settlement.

Issue faced: When the contract is selected as sources of supply for Shopping cart and ordered as release order in MM (classic deployment) MM PO line ERS flag is not defaulted. Scenario works for normal procurement with vendor assigned Purchase orders.

Did any one faced similar issue in their landscape.

Hi Prashanth,

This surely relates to Data maintenance and synchronization as informed by Muthu.

It definitely looks like the Vendor Master ahs been updated at a much later date with ERS option after the Contract has got created for that vendor.

Try checking the scenario by updating the ERS check box in contract and in P.O.

Also check whether the ERS check in vendor master is replicated to SRM using Manage Business Partners.

Let us know in case of any further clarifications.

Hi

SRM Vendor master is in sync with ECC. And with normal vendor assigned PO scenario ERS indicator replicated to backend.

As per your suggestions I created a new contract to check for inconsistancy but we have same result. (BP of vendor too is updated with ERS flag on SRM side).

And we are using a central contract which does not have ERS check option in ECC, gets replicated to SRM with price, quantity and other mandatory details only.

I think this is one of the vendor data synchronisation issue like OA vendor .

Vendor master team might change some data but in contract it will not be synched automaticaly. we may require action on CONTRACT equivalent to vendor master maintenance.

if the contract has ERS .It might be available in PO too when you refer contract.

debate come here like who takes precedence vendor master or contract ?

However customer may expect this ERS falg has to set in the contract as well as it may replicate the same in po as well.

for testing manually EDIT via ECC contract and flag ERS.

Hi Prashant

If the Contract is in ERP for this procurement, then check the Purchasing info record for the vendor/material combination. PIR should not have NO ERS indicator selected.....

If the contract is in SRM, then check your data which is transferred from SRM to ECC after Shopping cart approval to see if the flag is passed to ECC or not.
