RFx Response Submission Outside Firewall in SRM 7 Enhancement pack 1.

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

As you know, the bid response part has been moved to SUS in srm 7 enhancement pack 1 to enable the suppliers to respond to bid invitation from SUS system itself.

Does it mean that the suppliers cannot respond to bid invitation in SRM server directly or there is an option for customers to activate the customizing switch for that?

SUS system may not be used by all suppliers of a buyer.

Could you please throw some light on it?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Ranjan,

Option on if you want the bidder to create response in SRM or SUS is controlled in the transaction type with a field called Bid system

Here choose External supplier system or Internal SAP SRM system.

When you create an RFX you will have a field called Bidder system where you choose External supplier system or Internal SAP SRM system. This field be already populated depending on what is set in your transaction.

Here External supplier system will be your SUS (decoupled concept) and Internal SAP SRM system will be EBP (normal sourcing)
