prerequisites of the shopping cart:

the log in user should have necessary roles

backend systems must be defined in SRM customing

RFC should be working

SC is generally mabe in WEB page i.e. ITS page only

Hi

<b>User Roles in Enterprise Buyer</b>

<u>Employee</u>

Employees are responsible for the procurement of the goods and services that they need for their work area. To do this, they search for suitable products in electronic catalogs and order them. They can check the procurement status at any time. 

Once the goods have been delivered or the service has been performed, they can create a confirmation. Afterwards, they can create the invoice for their purchase order.

Manager
Activities
Managers are responsible for various approvals that are necessary in the approval process. This includes, for example, the approval of:

User master records requested by employees in the manager's organizational unit 
Shopping carts created by employees in the manager's organizational unit 
Settlements for procurement cards that are assigned to employees in the manager's organizational unit

Secretary, Office Assistant
Activities
Secretaries can define templates for recurring procurement processes. Employees can then use them when creating shopping carts. 

Secretaries can confirm goods receipts or service entry sheets centrally for the employees in their department. Afterwards, they can create the invoice for the purchase orders that belong to it.

Purchaser
Activities
Professional purchasers are responsible for processing and issuing purchase orders in Enterprise Buyer. If the requester creates a shopping cart with incomplete data (for example, the vendor is missing for an item), purchasers receive the incomplete purchase order in their worklist. They can complete the data and send the purchase order to the vendor. 

Creating public and restricted bid invitations and comparing received bids also belongs to this work area. 

Purchasers can define templates for recurring procurement processes, which employees can then use when they create shopping carts.

Purchasers are also responsible for processing the purchasing data in the business partner master records.

Administrator
Activities
Administrators are responsible for setting up and monitoring the Enterprise Buyer system. They are responsible for analyzing and solving problems that occur in the system itself, in the interfaces to the back-end system, and in the applications. System administrators also manage user master records for internal employees and external business partners.

Vendor
Activities
Goods and services are procured from vendors. In Enterprise Buyer, vendors can confirm that they have delivered goods or performed services. They can also create invoices for their purchase orders.

Vendors can submit bids against bid invitations and reverse auctions.

<b>Three options for adding an item to a shopping cart:</b>

1)Catalog: the catalog is able to supply the product ID, product text, product category, price, vendor and other data. It can be displayed in a separate window or inframe. 

2)Special Request: it can either be entered a text description or a product number 
 
3)Favorites: Single items, personal templates, public templates, ordered shopping carts

Hope this will help.

Please reward suitable points.

Regards
