Create Shopping Cart from a Sales Order

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a Shopping Cart from demand driven by Sales Orders i.e. how to create a shopping cart from a Sales Order?

Please post any suggestion. I will reward all responses with points.

Hi,

Presently we are using sales order (CRM) to create requirements in SRM system through plan driven procurement.

Sales order --> PR (ECC) --> External requirement (SRM ).

External requirement is similar to shopping cart in SRM, you can use this to create PO or other sourcing activities.

Reach me for more details.

Hi Shreedhar,

We have SRM 4 with Classic Scenario. Can we do the Shopping Cart approvals in SRM once it is created from a PR?

And can we create a backend PO once this Shopping Cart is approved?

Please let us know how to go about this if it is possible.

Thanks,

Hi,

Once the SC goes to Sourcing Cockpit,its status is already "APPROVED" .So you approval of SC is not possible.However you can have the approval process for PO (follow on doc).

See these very useful threads which explain different workarounds for your requirement:

Hi,

How about this process ?

A. SD Sales Order ->(IDoc) -> MM Purchase Requisition -> Transfer to SRM,Shopping Cart.

B. SD/CRM Sales Order ->(XML)PurchaseRequestRequest_In -> SRM Shopping Cart

Hi Masa,

Thanks. Will this process (your 2 suggestions) work for Classic Scenario with SRM 4? We would like to have Shopping Cart approved in the SRM system and then a PO be created in the R/3 system.

Are we correct in saying Plan Driven Procuremnt will not work for our scenario described above?

As far as I understand, It is not possible to create shoppingcart directly from sales order.
