Process Steps with SRM ROS

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We donot have ROS system, so it will be really helpful if some one can answer few queries.

Below are process steps as per standard SAP and the assigned queries below to the steps. The reason for asking such minute details, is because we are trying to Integrate ROS with a 3rd party system to facilitate the upload of documents during the process of Registration.

1. In ROS, when the outside person, clicks on the “Register” link, a new page is opened
2. In the portal page, there will be Company details, bank details, prod cat he wants to assign himself to and mail ID (?)
3. When he submits, as per standard process, a new mail with a link is sent to the person. (?)
4. The portal link will have the prod cat specific Qs.
5. The person fills and submits the details
6. Purchaser will check the details in ROS portal (?)
7. Checks the Qs and accepts to make the person as Supplier
8. Transfers the approved Supplier to SRM for sourcing purpose (?)

In the step 2, will there be some number generated for the respondent? If not at this step, which step will it get generated?

In the step 3: Will the link requires log on credentials?

In the step 6 How the Purchaser will know who responded with what answers? Will there be a registered number created before the person is accepted as supplier?

After step 8:  Will the supplier be able to edit his data, create bidder for himself in the ROS portal?

Please respond to this ASAP.

Thanks,

Krishna

Hi Krishna,

In the step 2, will there be some number generated for the respondent? If not at this step, which step will it get generated? - Yes, business partner number is assigned to the potential supplier

In the step 3: Will the link requires log on credentials? - No logon credentials are required to open the link

In the step 6 How the Purchaser will know who responded with what answers? Will there be a registered number created before the person is accepted as supplier? - Yes business partner number is used to identify questionnaire answers

After step 8:  Will the supplier be able to edit his data, create bidder for himself in the ROS portal? -  Not very sure but I think an admin contact person is created for the potential supplier that can edit supplier details like bank details etc.

Thanks,

Hi Anubhav,

          Thanks a lot for the quick response.

We were trying to conceptualize the Integration with third party document maintaining system.

So before the Supplier number is created. We wanted to know if there is a BP number created ass soon as the person submits the basic details including E mail ID. So that we can take that number as reference in the 3rd party system.

Thanks for your response about creation of BP in the step 2.

Regards,

Krishna
