SRM automatic Purchase Order Creation

Former Member
0 Kudos

Is it possible to automatically create a purchase order after the shopping cart has been approved even if the shopping cart was not created from a catalog. We want to have the buyer as the first release point for the shopping cart, where the buyer will have the opportunity to put in the correct price and supplier detals. But we dont want the buyer to have to create the PO manually after final approval. Thankyou for your help.

Hello Derek,

Yes it is possible.

Use the following configuration to create PO from SC if the SC has complete source of supply information:

Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders); External Proc = Purch Order if item data is complete otherwise PReq

Buyer can maintain price & fixed supplier in Shopping cart, this would result in PO in backend.

Hope this solves.

Dear Derek,

Please maintain the following -> SPRO -Supplier Relationship Management - Sourcing - Define Sourcing for Product Categories.

While creating shopping cart assigned source of supply purchase order will be created. I have seen cases where developments were made to identify which categories should or shouldn´t allow non catalog shopping carts.

Dear SAP 4ALL,

Would like your help to understand one specific scenario on SRM 7.0.

Is there anyway to make a Shopping Cart create PO automatically based just on Info Record as Source of Supply? I´ve been told that you can only Create Automatically PO if the SC is based on contract.

Thanks for you help,

Hello,

Yes, it is possible. In extended classic scenario, once cart is approved and sourcing cockpit is not active, PO will be created. If PO is not completed (without vendor), PO will be created in held status.

In classic scenario, if cart is not completed (without vendor, info record or contract), PR will be created. If you want a PO to be created in this scenario, ensure that these data is available.

Hello Derek,

If you maintain supplier list in for product category and while creating shopping cart assigned source of supply as soon as shoping cart is approved purchase order will be generated.
