BBPSC18 - Request for external staff - Classic Scenario in SRM 5.0 possible

[Former Member]

Hello Community,

one of my customers wants to use "Reqest for External Staff". As far as I remember, in SRM 5.0 it is only possible in "Standalone Scenario".

Is this assumption correct? So not possible in Classic Scenario?

How about "Extended Classic"? Probably not possible either, right?

Thanks for any help or input!

Cheers, Julian

Hi Julian,

As of SRM7.01,

In Classic Scanrio, Request External Staff process is not supported,

In SCS, Request External Staff scenario is partially supported, including partial SRM-SUS (on Purchase Orders only).

In Standalone scenario, Request External Staff process is fully supported, including full SRM-SUS (on Purchase Orders, Service Confirmations and Invoices).

Hope this will help you..

Thanks,

Hi Rahul,

thanks for your answer!

Actually I am only looking into the part "Request for External Staff" - "Acceppt Bid" - "Create PO (Classic in ERP)".

I have seen that this part works in SRM 7.01.

But currently we are not planning to upgrade. We are still on 5.0.

I tested the abovementioned process in our DEV-System. I behaves fine, no error messages. But when I want to create the PO out of the "Check Status" (yes, in SRM 5.0 this was possible), the system pretends to create a PO but it never gets created. So I just wonder if I missed some customizing, or if this also only works in Standalone or if there maybe is a smart technical workaround (some custom coding etc...).

Cheers, Julian
