Bypass of sourcing cockpit when the user selects an item from catalog?

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

How is it possible to achieve the below requirement? When the user selects an item from catalog (the client is using external catalog) in a shopping cart, they want the system to create a purchase order directly. Otherwise, they want the shopping cart to pass through the sourcing cockpit.

They are using classic scenario here.

Note: I have checked in the SRM IMG configuration and I see the option of 'sourcing carried out or not' only based on product categories and purchasing group.

Thanks in advance,

Ranjan

Hi

catalogs always has a fixed vendor and it may not venture to cockpit.

since catalog sc item has a negotiated price and vendor why do you want to sent the sc catalog item to cockpit.

if it is your requirement to forcily sent to cockpit , you can do it by BBP_src_determine BADI.

you need to identify the field from bbp_pd (source from catalog) and write a custom logic by using this field.

Hi Muthu,

Thanks for your reply. So, I can assume that it is SAP SRM standard behaviour's not to send the shopping cart with item selected from catalog to sourcing cockpit.

Yes. since it has fixed vendor.

try to create a sc with catalog items and see in bbp_pd - the vendor has partner function as 19 so srm system creates a PO immediately.

However you want take all sc items need to take cockpit

do this config ALAWAYS SOURCING

so this config all sc items ( though it has fixed vendor refered ) venture the cockpit but BUYER loads swell to process all the cart.
