Hi All,

I have below doubts on the Xpress and CPO section of SAP Sourcing 7.0:-

1>CPO:- Is CPO Central functioanlity a part of Sourcing installable or I need to buy seprate business object to get the Xcelsius Template for the dashboard. In my SAP Sourcing 7.0 we dont have the Xcelsius Template for CPO Central and dashboard is blank. We do have Xcelsius Template as attachments for Supplier scorecard dashboard and RFx response dashboard.

2>Xpress:- can we use Xpress for spotbuy functionality.

Please provide your view.

Deepak!!!

The CPO functionality is part of SAP Sourcing and it is kind of splash screen which you can activate by checking the checkmark in an user profile which you want them to be able to see a CPO page. (Show CPO Central).

The pre-requisites are:

1. Create a workbench page which will contain the channels you want to display within the CPO screen. When you create the workbench page do check the CPO Splash Page checkmark or it will not work. If you do not have a workbench page then you will see a blank page even tough you have checked the CPO Page in the user profile.

2. In the workbench page you have created do not forget to put the collaborators in who has to be able to see this specific workbench page. Best practise would be to add groups to the collaborators as it is easy to maintain (e.g. CPO, Purchasing Managers, etc...depending on your requirements). You can create different CPO Pages and by means of the collaborator list in the workbench page display different CPO pages depending on a user group.

When you an user log in, which has CPO page checked in his user profile and is part of the collaborators in a workbench page specifically created as a CPO screen he/she will first see the CPO screen with the reports you have included in the workbench page. They can later on continue to the SAP Sourcing workbench page by selecting SAP Sourcing (normally in the right top part of the screen).

The xCelsius templates are already present for the reports you have mentioned and some others and it is those reports which make use of them you would include in your workbench page configuration.

Xpress - this depends on how you configure it.

Hope this helps you to get started.
