Central Receiver role in Classic Scenario

[Former Member]

Hi All

We have a requirement for a user who can enter goods receipt in SRM on behalf of other users.

We tried to set up the central receiver role provided by SAP , however encountered some issues:

1) In the POWL for the central receiver, only the PO's created locally are visible. So none of the Classic PO's in ECC could

be seen

2) When in the" Create Confirmation" screen, I manually searched for a PO, It allowed me to proceed One screen, however I couldn't enter a confirmation as I got an auth error:

Partner xxxxx not found with partner function type xxxx.

I thought the central receiver was entitled to confirm all PO's without question.

Kindly advise

Thanks

Hi Kedar,

Ideally, the central receiver will have the work center 'Goods and Service Receipt' assigned to him. In such cases, he should be able to create confirmation for all purchase orders.

Or he can find shopping cart to create confirmation.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Ranjan

The only tab I have is Central confirmation & worklist.

I didn't modify the role , but just using the standard portal & SRM role offered by SAP for Central receiver.

Inside central conf, I have the 2 problems I mentioned.

I cannot find backend PO's & secondly when I try to confirm other person's PO/shopping cart I get the partner function error.

Is central confirmation from SRM , even supported in classic scenario?

Thanks

Kedar
