SRM 5.0 - Standalone - PO not created when SC is approved

[Former Member]

We have the following system/scenario: SRM 5.0/Standalone

A shopping cart (with no vendor assigned) has been created and approved.

The follow on document tab says that shopping cart xxx is in the purchaser's worklist.

When looking in the SAP backend system, there has not been any POs created.

When login in as the purchaser, there is no new items in the worklist.

Any ideas on why this happens?

Is it a batch job that needs to be setyp? (other than bbb_get_status_2 and clean_req_req)

Could it be workflow related? (perhaps the PO creation is not run correctly?)

Thanks for any input!

Cheers

Hi Teodor,

In my opinion, Please consider this (SRM 5/ Standalone)

When looking in the SAP backend system, there has not been any POs created.

If you are in standalone, Po shouldn't be created in backend

When login in as the purchaser, there is no new items in the worklist.

When login? the purchaser should go to Tx BBPSOCO01, to assign vendor to the SC

I hope this help

Hi thanks for your input!

Sorry for writing SAP backend, what I meant to write was SAP GUI, i.e. the SAP SRM system, of course no POs should be created in the backend system when running standalone scenario.

I assigned vendor in the shopping cart and retested approving it.

Still there is no PO created in the SRM system.

Could there be a missing batch job or some problem with the workflows?

Problem solved!

sourcing should never be carried out for product category and it works fine
