Portal Role for Approve SC in SRM 7.0

[Former Member]

Dear All

I'm very new to SRM 7.0 with portal. We have just implemented it, and now i'm testing some scenarios. I've created a shopping card and now it is waiting for approval. But i couldn' find the right Role to assign to the related approver (manager)

Can anyone guide me about this ?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

Basically, you do not need a special portal role to approve a shopping cart.

Workitem can be found under UWL (Universal Work List).

Check as shopping cart creator if there is any approver assigned to your cart.

If not, probably there is an issue with workflow customizing.

Dear Richardo,

Hi,

I hope UWL has been configured properly by the Portal consultant.

Please try with assigning manager role (/SAPSRM/MANAGER) in the Back end system as well as Portal system.

If you are using Z roles, mapping should be done properly with Portal and SRM roles.

You can see the workitem in the Portal (Home - Overview - Task tab).

Dear Mishrankur,

I've checked the task list as you advised. There is no SC in the list. But in BBP_PD i can see that the SC is assigned to the manager and waiting for approval.. But it is not in the task list. So this means that UWL is not set up properly, right ?

Hi Adam,

it seems UWL is not configured properly, I believe you wont b having access for Portal configuration.

Please ask your portal consultant to recheck.

Please let me know if you need further information.

Dear All,

Thank you all for your help. I finally managed to make the configurations for UWL and manage to approve my SC.

Now the shopping card has the status approved. And when i check it from BBP_PD, i can see that soource related indicator is 'X' .. And again i can see from BBP_PD that SC is assigned to the right purchasing group.

I log on with the purchasing user. I gave a role "Strategic Procurement", under this tab i choose strategic sourcing but i cannot see my SC ? Is there again some more customising for me to create PO from this sc ? How am i going to see the sourcing cockpit ?
