Goods Confirmation in SRM 7.0: requester, recipient, in behalf of

Question

Hi GURUS,
I tried to find out in the others threads, but I still have dubts regarding Goods Confirmation creator.
We are working on SRM 7.0 SP3, with basic employee.
In the previous release of SRM when an employee went to Goods and Services Confirmation could decided the role in the document: Receiver or Requester. (Today we can search the Goods Confirmation ALREADY created with this kind of roles, but doesn't help in the creation).
Now in SRM 7.0 we have in the "Create Confirmation" iView the following text / fields:
To create a confirmation, you need to select a purchase order as a reference
Proceed as follows: search for the required purchase order, then select it from the search results below
Purchase Order Number:
Item Description:
Timeframe:
Product ID:
Shopping Cart Number:
Shopping Cart Name:
That is not enough.
Moreover if an employee creates a Shopping Cart in behalf of someone (we give the professional iView to the employees), this other user doesn't have the opportunity to create a Goods Confirmation in the POWL of the Shopping Carts.
So: did SAP forget some functionalities?
We are working on the Classic Scenario and the list of the Purchase Order ready for the Goods Receipt is horrible.
Did you have the same problem?
Do you know a way or manual workflow to have the old funcitonality?
Thanks!
BRs,
Maria

Hi Raj,
The requester attribute is used for Shop on Behalf functionality. This makes creating shoppingcarts and confirmations available for employees. Therefore i believe that the configuration of this attribute in your central recipient scenario is obsolete.
I think that you havn't configured the SYS attribute in your organizational schema. This attribute tells the system where to look for your inv/confirmation documents. Include all systems here, in your case: Add your local SAP SRM logical system name. This should resolve your problems.
Ps. Also try giving a (couple) of parameters when searching for your PO document from the central recipient transaction, this helps (speed up) searching for a reference document.
Kind regards,
Tim
