Stock Purchase in SRM

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I need some urgent help. We are on ECC 6.0 and using SRM as an Add-on component.

We are planning to create SC for Stock items also. We also use special stocks i.e. Consignment, Sub-contracting.

OSS Note 586231, says that we can't post to Special Stock if we are using Account assignment. But I could not find any information regarding the Inventory Procurement.

So I've two questions.

1. Can we use SC for Stock Items (Let me remind you guys that we dont have Plan Driven Procurement)

2. Can we handle special stocks

Can anybody throw some light here quickly.

Thanks

When you create a shopping cart, if you goto the basic data tab there should be a button "Order as direct material". This button removes the account assingment data and allows you to order to inventory.

As for special stock support, there is nothing in the standard to flag an item as consignment or subcontracting.

I havent tried, but perhaps you can add those item categories on the PR or PO afterwards?
