Hi ,

I am not getting you exactly.

Actually Requestor will create the SC in SRM. depends on the data PR/PO will create eithere in EB or backendsystem(depends on the scenario).

So where selfservice will come into picture??

actually purchasers will do if we forgot price or we forgot vendor data.. if we givee all the data...then self service procurement where it will vary??

Please explain me.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Hi Viswanath,

The person who can create Shopping cart can also create P.O provided the setting is maintained in the Sourcing in SPRO.

SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM Server > Sourcing > Determine Sourcing for Product categories

In that you maintain the sourcing setting as "Sourcing never carried out" or "Sourcing never carried out for assigned source of supply". In such a case the P.O will be created directly even though you don't have purchaser's role.

In case you want to process P.O you should have purchaser's role.

You can always create confirmation and invoice.

Hope this will make you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.

Hi Viswanath,

You can ask any question irrespective of its criticality as far as it is SRM related.

Self Service Procurement : It is the basic P2P (Purchase to Pay) cycle which can be executed by the individual.

The person who can create the Shopping cart (like P.R in R/3) can confirm the goods and can post the invoice himself.

The P2P cycle :

1. Creation of Shopping cart (like P.R in R/3)

2. Creation of P.O (after the approval of shopping cart through sourcing)

3. Confirmation of goods (like G.R in R/3)

4. Posting of Invoice

The approvals can be customized at each level using the work flow.

Hope this will make you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.

Rgds,

Teja

In layman terms , self-service procurement means you are procuring for yourself.

purchaser will not procure for you , and you will do shopping for yourself,
