PO not created automatically after creation and approval of SC

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are using SRM7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.

We are able to create Shopping Cart successfully.

For items where a source of supply is not supplied, the Shopping Cart goes through the approval process and then into the sourcing Cockpit.

But for the other Shopping Carts, PO is not getting created automatically after the approval of SC.

Any ideas/suggestions on this issue would be highly helpful.

Thanks,

Priya

Hello,

Check if there is any error in transaction RZ20 for shopping carts. Usually, erro in transmission documents are displayed there.

Hi Ricardo,

There is an error in RZ20 for shopping carts.

Object Name : Shopping Basket

Short Name : Backend Application errors

Status : Active

Alert Text : Shopping cart 1000002078 (PReq. 😞 BBP_PD 655

This error is generated for every SC created and then gets Auto-Completed after sometime.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Priya,

This kind of a message usually comes up due to faulty customization.

Please check note 1173815 and ensure your setting SPRO -- 'Define Objects (purchase requisitions, reservations, purchase orders) in Backend System' is correct. * entries are not allowed.

Hope you have maintained attribute Document Type in PPOMA_BBP for this user

Hi priya,

First of all Please check wheather P.O.automation rule is defined or not there in the respective SRM system.

Or what is the default document type mentioned,if its PR then after SC approval it will create the purchase requisition but if we ahev defined vendor while creating SC it will satisfy the condition mentioned in P.O. automation cockpit and craete the P.O.for that vendor.

Hi priya

Hope carts are approved and now sc reached in the sourcing cockpit for BUYER action since sc does not have source of supply(vendor)

Here you need to assign vendor / or propose source of supply and you have option to create a Purchase order.

Hi Nikhil,

The customization in spro and for the user are already done. But we are still facing the same issue.

Hi Muthu,

The SCs which do not have suppliers associated with it are going to the Sourcing Cockpit. But for SCs which have supplier the POs are not created automatically. We are able to create them manually. Our requirement is that they should be automatically created.

Buyer intervention is required to assign a best source of supply.

Buyer can assign a vendor after discussing with vendor with terms or already there may be contracts or some other sos exits buyer can compare among all and assign best one.

the above one is standard.

Are you expecting system should assign best vendor and assign to the requisition ?

Priya,

Can you check this configuration in Sourcing for particular PCat?

*Automatic requirement grouping; sourcing for items without assigned*

source of supply:

Then run the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED which will automatically group requirements together for

the creation of a PO.

And, If the requirement does not have a source of supply, it appears in the work list of the sourcing application for manual assignment. Once you have assigned a source of supply, you can submit the requirement to the report.

Let us know if it works, and should help you this one.

Thanks,

Hi Muthu,

The supplier is being selected while selecting a product from the catalog and then the SC is created. After approval of SC we need the PO to be generated automatically. Can you please help us in this issue.

Hi Rahul,

We do not need grouping of SCs. We need to create PO for every SC separately.

Hi Muthu,

We have defined 'Sourcing never carried out' for the product categories where the supplier is present.

Hello Priya,

This thread is a cock-and-bull story...

First of all, what are the document status and their workflow status for your SC with supplier and approved by all your assigned approvers ?

Knowing this, we will be able to tell you what is necessary to check.

Regards.

Laurent.
