Making Settings for Purchase Orders 

Use

In the standard configuration of SRM the sourcing application of the purchaser is not enabled and the system automatically creates purchase orders for shopping carts that have a unique source of supply assigned to them.

Since this can lead to great number of purchase order documents for the same supplier, SRM provides report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED that allows you to automatically group requirements belonging to the same supplier before creating a purchase order.

Prerequisites

If you use the extended classic scenario and want to transfer purchase orders to the backend system:

·        you have set up an RFC user in the backend system for the RFC communication with Enterprise Buyer.

·        you have set up an RFC connection between Enterprise Buyer and the backend system that uses the same RFC user in Enterprise Buyer.

Procedure

       1.      Schedule report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED periodically. You have to define a variant for running this report, in which you can specify your selection.

For further information on the automated grouping of requirements, see also the report documentation in your SRM system.

       2.      (Optional) If you want to use default values for overdelivery and underdelivery tolerances, make sure the system contains a tolerance group to which the tolerance key CF is assigned.

See path in the Implementation Guide for mySAP Supplier Relationship Management: SRM Server  ®  Cross-Application Basic Settings  ®  Set Tolerance Checks.

Users can enter tolerance values even if you do not specify default values.
