By integrating SAP Sourcing with SAP ERP, you can do the following:

  • Send a request for quotation (RFQ) from SAP ERP to create a request for proposal (RFP) in SAP Sourcing.

  • Send an RFP award from SAP Sourcing to create an outline agreement in SAP ERP.

  • Send an RFP award from SAP Sourcing to create a purchase order in SAP ERP.

  • Send a master agreement/subagreement from SAP Sourcing to create an outline agreement in SAP ERP.

The process can begin in the following ways:

  • In SAP ERP with a requisition or set of requisitions that are converted to an RFQ in SAP ERP and then sent to SAP Sourcing to be sourced.

  • Directly in SAP Sourcing, without being initiated by a requisition and RFQ in SAP ERP.

In addition, you can update specific fields in an outline agreement in SAP ERP based on updates to specific fields in a master agreement or subagreement in SAP Sourcing.
