Question on Self Service Procurement Scenario?

Hai friends
Self Service Procurement is used for automatic generation of PR and shop on Behalf of.
So how is SSP possible in creation of PR in extended Classic Scenario
Is SSP possible in Classic Scenario only? If its possible in all scenario then what is the use of Self Service Procurement
Regards
krishna

Hi Krishna,
SSP (Self Service Procurement) scenario is possible in both, Classic and Extended Classic Scenario's. In classic scenario, the follow-on doc. say PO created w.r..t SC will be created in backend system and in case of Extended Classic Scenario, the PO will be created in SRM and a copy will be posted to backend.
PR can be replicated from backend to SRM system in both the cases. It falls under Plan-driven procurement business scenario.
In extended classic scenario, if you want to replicate the PR to SRM, it can be listed in sourcing cockpit as an external requirement and ca be processed further to follow bidding process in SRM.
In classic scenario, you can configure to create a SC in SRM and transfer it to the backend system to create PR / PO as a follow-on document.
I hope this answers to your question.

Self service procurement and plan driven procurement in classic scenario

hai friends,
i have configured self service procurement and now i am configuring plan driven procurement in classic scenario.my doubt is suppose a shopping cart is created and placed in a sourcing application of the professional buyer.And assume he accomplished sourcing activity and created purchase order .Now purchase order is created locally or in the backed.i am using classic scenario ,now can u tell where the purchase order is located? if i want to place that particular purchase order in SRM it self what will i do? thanks in advance.

Hi Chandra
before going to select Business scenario (self service, plan driven..etc), you must freeze the technical scenario. Depends upon your technical scenario, your PO will be created .
Where PO is created it is called leading system. It is SAP standard.
If you were selected Classic- Po created in R/3.- R/3 is a leading system .
if you were select ECS- > PO will created in SRM and Copy also will be created in R/3 system. In EBP only you can edit the PO not in r/3. here SRM is a Leading system.

Central Confirmation in Self-Service Procurement Classic Scenario

Hi all,
can you confirm that we can not use the Central Goods Confirmation where we are using the Self-Service Procurement Classic Scenario? Just to be sure!
We are working in SRM 7.0 SP4 and ECC 6.0.
Thanks!
Maria

Question answered by myself. Was a mistake.

Do you have to implement SRM to use the self service procurement?

I was interested in possibly using the self service procurement functionality. Do you have to implement SRM for this to be available? Thanks!

Invoice in Self Service Procurement

Hi,
When we work with Plan Driven (Procurement of Direct Materials) as our business scenario, The suppliers can create an Invoice directly in SUS, then the invoice is automatically released to SAP R3, but what happend when the PO is created directly in SRM EBP (Procurement of Services and Indirect Materials, scenario SUS-EBP or Self Service procurement)????
How the invoice works in Self Service (SUS EBP) scenario????
Is there a document about it????
Thanks.

Self service procurement

Hi ,
I am sorry asking this qestion ..i know it is very basic question. but i don't know the exact meaning
What is menat by Self Service Procurmet?
I read SRM 210, but i am not understanding..Please explain me.
What's the flow of Self service Procurement??
Thanks,

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

Hi,
1. Ask system admin to download the latest Solution Manager contents ST-ICO 150_700 * and import.
2. Transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN. Create a project. Just give name.
3. Transaction SMSY. Generate logical component for SRM and ERP.
4. Transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN. Add logical component in System landscape tab.
5. Transaction SOLAR01. Go to Business Scenario node then select Structure tab. Select Business Scenario.
6. Transaction SOLAR02. Go to Configuration node then select Structure tab. Change Configuration Structure. select SRM and ERP.
7. Transaction SOLAR02. Navigate Configuration node then select configuration tab. You see many configuration documents are linked.

Ipc for SRM self service procurement

we are setting up our SRM server for self-service procurement, when I try to configure IPC server, the administrator tool ask me which system for IPC to connect to: DATABASE, CRM system or R/3 system. there is not an option for SRM system. which one should I choose? I picked CRM system and IPC seem to work fine, is SRM considered CRM system in this case?
Thanks
Jane

Dear Jane
At many places specially for middleware settings Srm uses CRM middleware settings as SRM in not fully concise with middleware settings.
Like where we define the sites in transcation SMOEAC we use R/3 and CRM sites to define the SRM and r/3 sites.
Many at places SRM uses CRM infrastuture for middleware settings.

Self-service procurment

Hello everybody.
I would like to know how the documents created in Self-service procurement are sent to the supplier , can I use SUS for it?
Thanks
Nilson

Hi
Yes it is possible to use the documents .
It's better to maintain two seperate systems - SUS and EBP.

Standalone scenario of self-service procurement

Hi all,
I'm testing SRM5.0 right now. I'm new about SRM.
In the standalone scenario of the self-service procuremnt, only accounting data goes to R/3. Does anyone know how to verify the accounting data on R/3 through EBP? In other words, which tracsaction code of R/3 can I see the accounting data transferred automatically after I created the invoice on EBP?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Yuko

Hello Yuko,
invoices are sent to R/3 via IDOC BBPIV (transfers invoicing information to the back end in FI).
Checklist:
- check LS and backend definition
- check distribution model in SRM
- check distribution model in R/3 (created manually or distributed)
- check generated partner profiles in SRM
- check generated partner profiles in R/3
- check outbound IDOCs in SRM
- check inbound IDOCs in R/3
With transaction BD87, you can reprocess erroneous IDOCs, if for example the posting period is not opend in FI.

Any Badi required for service procurement scenario?

Dear Guru's
I am configuring the service procurement classic scenario in SRM 7.01. Our requirement is as below:
If the service requisition has backend contract available as a source of supply, it will create a purchase order in the backend ERP system.
However, when it comes to contract, service hierarchy is supported in the srm contract as well. So, unlike srm 7.0, we can create follow-on contract with service hierarchy both in SAP SRM system and backend ERP system. How the system will decide whether to create the contract in the backend system or local SRM system?
If I want to create local contract only from the purchase requisitions with service hierarchy, do I need to take help of the BAdi 'BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS'? Or i Need the BAdi only if I need to create the contract directly in the backend system.
Secondly, Will the local contract be available as a source of supply in the sourcing cockpit or only the backend contract will be available as a sourcing?
Thanks in advance,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Dear Ricardo,
Thanks for the confirmation. Till SRM 7.0, service hierarchy was not supported in the contract document in SRM. The system behaviour is to create contract with service hierarchy in the backend system. In case of multiple backend systems, we need to use the BAdi 'BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS'.
Since we are in the SRM 7.01 where the central contract supports service hierarchy, we are proceeding with the approach suggested by you.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

This topic should help for creating the user programitcally: http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum83/HTML/000146.html
I don't know about the email too much. I know that there is an SMTP package with iAS. I haven't used it and only briefly glanced at it on technet. Here's the link on it: http://technet.oracle.com/products/emailserver/listing.htm
But maybe someone else will know more about the email.
