SRM Workflow for external Purchase requisitions ECC

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

We are in SRM 7 Classic scenario , ECC 6. Using SRM process controlled workflow . We want to enable SRM workflow for external Purchase requisitions. As per SAP note 505030 topic 16 , approval is not triggered in SRM for external requirements. So we need to find a new solution as it's a clinet requirement.

Current scenario:

External purchase requisition created from ME51N or Plant maintenance are sent to SOCO for buyer completion. External PRs generate a SC BUS2121 EXTR in status approved.

Desired scenario:

We want those external requirements to be sent to SRM for approval (approval with completion + approval)

After implementing changes suggested in Prasannau2019s document (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770 ) , the Workflow is still not triggered for the external PRs, the SC is created but remains in status awaiting approval. No work item is created (neither in BBP_PD not in SWI6, not in SWIA).

Can anyone provide some guidance on what else need to be changed in order to activate SRM Workflow for external PRs?

Many thanks in advance,

Nuria

Hi Any one got answere this issue. I also implemented the steps provided in the document created by Prasannau2019s. The workflow is getting triggered for external requisitions now but when we are changing the PR in ECC and transferring again that time its not gettign triggered neighther its restarting the exisiting approval workflow in process (if any).
