purchaser cannot able to see purchase orders in the worklist

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am working on SRM 5.0 SP 10 and i have an issue related to PO.

I cannot able to see the created purchase orders from the purchasers view.

I have assigned the user organization in the responsibility tab of the purchaser.

I have assigned the product category in the responsibility tab of the purchaser.

Can any body suggest me what are required changes to see all purchase orders.

Thanks,

Hi Mahesh,

Please correct if i understood you wrong. You are trying to list PO created using 'Carry out sourcing'.?

If so, then this is not possible. Because once requirement is sourced i.e. PO is created it will never be listed in sourcing cockpit. This is Standard functionality.

Hi Sashi,

I am not looking for purchase orders in " carry out sourcing ".

I am looking for PO's in the Process Purchase order transaction.

and i am running Classic Scenario.

Thanks,

Hi Mahesh,

In SRM system you will not be able to see the PO's which are created in the Classic Scenario.!! When running the classic scenario, you will have to got to the ERP system to view the PO since the PO will be stored in ERP not in SRM.

Hope it answers your question.

Hi Atul,

Thanks for your answer ,

i have implemented the Note 1104589 and

Note 947838 is not relevant to my support package level.

But still the purchaser cannot able to see the PO's those he created in the Sourcing cockpit.

I am in SRM 5.0 with SP 10

Hi Keith,

I entered the PO Number in to the search selection.

Nothing is coming out.

Sounds like some sort of authorisation issue....

Is it possible for you to give the user a wider profile, ie SAP_ALL so you can see if this is the case?

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the reply, I tried with SAP_ALL to the respective user.

No improvement its the same thing.

I think you are using a Classic Scenario, we are all trying to give you a ECS solution. You need to get into your backend system to see your PO not from the SRM menu.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Imtiaz,

If i activate Extended Classic Scenario then the Purchasers will see all the PO created from SRM.

My scenario is like this , i want to run a Purchase order workflow in SRM system.

The approvers should be purchaser and purchasing manager.

Can you suggest me what are the possible ways of doing the same process in classic scenario or only this process runs in Extended Classic Scenario.

Thanks,

What role has the purchaser got ? Is it the SAP standard one or have you created a bespoke one ?

When you select the 'Find' Tab in 'BBP_POC - Process Purchase Order' and click 'Start', do you get anything returned ?

If not, select 'Extended Search' and ensure that there are no restricting parameters and click 'Start' again.

This should return all the POs

Hi Keith,

I have assigned the standard role to the purchaser.

When i click on Tab BBP_POC(Process Purchase order ) i am getting the screen.

But i unable to find any Purchase orders created by the Purchaser in the Carry out sourcing option.

The user who created the shopping cart is able to see the PO as the follow on document to the SC.

I tried with both the available search options and i am not getting any thing.

Thanks,

Atul's listed a couple of notes that look like they may well help you.

What version and patch level are you on ?
