Extended classic scenario, SRM po creation automatically

[Former Member]

Hi

This is reg Extended Classic scenario

SC--> PO [SRM]-->PO [Back end]

My question is once SC is created and approved, SC can have

1. No Source assigned

2. Prefered supplier is entered

3. Supplier is entered in supplier filed

We chose option "Sourcing allways carried" in IMG Define sourcing for product categories

Can some one please tell me

1. Does SRM creates PO automatically if prefered vendor is entered? do we need to make any settings to acheieve this or its standard behaviour

2. What is the diff between "supplier" and "prefered supplier" fields in Shopping Cart [I know meaning of prefered supplier, just want to understand how SRM reacts reg PO creation automatically

Thanks

In case of preferred supplier, SC will go to SOCO aftervapproval as per the configuration.

In case of fixed source (contract, catalog or vendor list), PO will be created automatically after SC approval.

In the supplier field if a different supplier is selected frm SRM data base manually, Draft PO will be created after SC approval automatically for extended classic scenario, else PR will be created in ECC system.

Hi,

Automatic PO creation is standard behavior.

After creation and approval(if any) SC; PO is created automatically.

If you set 'Sourcing is always carried out'; even though you assign fixed vendor SC will go to SOCO.

When vendor is selected from contract, info-record & catalog then you can call it as a fixed vendor.
