Shopping Cart status during Upgrade

[Former Member]

Hi All

We are upgrading from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.03. We are in extended Classic scenario. Had few questions.

There would be Shopping Carts in the exisitng SRM 5.0 system. What would be the best policy during upgrade.

• Have the SC in Held status during upgrade and later on process them in new system.
• Have all the SC in ordered status and Approval 'In Process' status so that they can be approved in new system. We are keeping the Application Controlled Flow only and not making any changes to the logic.
• Have all the SC in approved state and thereby have PO created in SRM system. In the new system just do the confirmation.
• Would we face any issues to do the confirmation for the PO's created in old system.

If someone can throw some light on the best policy to be adopted during the cutover stage then it would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

The input that I have is related to displaying old carts in POWL (Purchaser worklist).
This functionality is available in portal and it has been added as of SRM 7.0.

Read notes 1675413 and 1444299.
Some activities will be needed to display such carts in POWL.

Hi Ricardo

Thanks for the notes.

However what should be the strategy with regards to the status of the SC during upgrade. Is it advisable for the SC to be in submit status during the upgrade or 'Held' status too would hold valid and the same can be progressed through after upgrade in POWL. Also is it advisable to have the SC in awaiting approval status or the approval should be completed in the old system.

Any more thoughts on the above would be highly appreciated.
