Hello Sachin,
You can create a shopping cart in an SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system for a collaboration in the competitive scenario.
Prerequisites
· You are in the competitive scenario.
· To create a shopping cart, you need administration authorization for the collaboration in question.
· In addition, a valid Category ID must be maintained in your Settings on the User tab page. This refers to the product category in the SRM system.
· Finally, your system administrator must have made certain system settings:

Integration with mySAP SRM
Purpose
cFolders supports the integration with the SAP Enterprise Buyer of mySAP Supplier
Relationship Management (SRM). You can use the integration of cFolders with mySAP SRM
to order a shopping cart in a connected SRM system (which triggers a follow-up process, in
which a bid invitation, a purchase order, or a strategic contract will be created). An External
Reference to the shopping cart in mySAP SRM is automatically created in the cFolders
collaboration from which the shopping cart has been ordered,. Inside mySAP SRM, the
follow-up objects created during the triggered workflow also contain a reference to the
cFolders collaboration concerned.
Prerequisites
mySAP SRM 3.00, SP 03 or higher
Process flow
1. Create an RFC connection from the cFolders system to the SRM system using
transaction SM59. For more information on how to create an RFC connection, choose
Help → Application Help in transaction SM59. Test the connection. This connection
requires a particular dummy user.
This dummy user needs certain authorizations and SAP roles within the SRM system.
For more information on authorizations and SAP roles, see SAP Library → SAP Cross-
Industry Solutions → mySAP Supplier Relationship Management → Enterprise Buyer
Professional Edition → Integration → Integration of Applications → Procurement of
External Requirements and Prerequisites for External Requirements.
2. Create an RFC connection from the SRM system to the cFolders system using
transaction SM59. Test the connection. You must use the same dummy user in both
RFC connections. This dummy user needs the SAP role SAP_CFX_USER and the
authorization to create collaborations. When a shopping cart has been created from
cFolders, this particular dummy user will automatically receive administration
authorization for the corresponding collaboration. For the follow-up process, SRM
users (for example, purchasers or suppliers) will need to obtain access to the
collaboration. The above mentioned dummy user for the RFC connections will
automatically assign the relevant authorization to these SRM users.
3. Edit the settings for the integration with mySAP SRM in accordance with "Making
WebDAV Settings for cFolders Integration with mySAP SRM"
SAP recommends that you use Single Sign-On to switch more easily between
the systems.
Restrictions
• Both mySAP SRM and cFolders structure information. However, it is not possible to
transfer one system structure to the other automatically.
• Master data such as materials will not be integrated. Therefore, no help will be
available. Instead free text will be used.
• After having created a shopping cart from cFolders, the corresponding data can only be
viewed in mySAP SRM. cFolders only contains the link to this data in mySAP SRM.
• Creating a shopping cart is only possible in the cFolders competitive scenario.
• Shopping carts and the follow-up objects created during the triggered workflow can
only be created locally in the SRM system. They are not sent to any back-end system.
Security
Note that you have to set up an RFC connection to an SRM system, which is may be behind
your company firewalls, while cFolders is usually located in your demilitarized zone (DMZ).
This is a potential security risk, because it opens a system connection from the outside (DMZ)
to the intranet. However, this connection can be additionally protected by placing a SAProuter
between the systems to cross the intranet border in a controlled manner. The system
connection will be used exclusively for the RFC protocol. HTTP is not necessary.
Making WebDAV Settings for cFolders
Integration with mySAP SRM
Use
cFolders determines the RFC connection you created through a settings file located in the
WebDAV directory.
Furthermore, you can tailor the appearance of the cFolders Create Shopping Cart screen to
your personal needs by defining the fields you want to appears on it.
You edit the settings for the integration with mySAP Supplier Relationship Management
(SRM) in XML format, adhering to a predefined XSD description and store the SRM settings
with all other cFolders system settings in the WebDAV directory.
Prerequisites
You have set up a WebDAV client for cFolders.
Procedure
1. Create the new folder SRM in the WebDAV settings folder.
2. Edit an XML file according to the schema, which can be found under XSD for
Integration with mySAP SRM.
3. Name this file SRM.xml and insert it into the new subfolder SRM of your WebDAV
settings folder.
Result
cFolders is ready to use the integration with mySAP SRM.

SAP recommends that you use the current example XML file as a template. You only need to
change the RFC destination attributes. This example XML file provides all fields that are
necessary for ordering a shopping cart (except for the category ID, which is taken from the
user settings). You can add further fields according to your needs.
