Is it possible to make Supplier field Mandatory in Shopping Cart (SRM7.0)?

Former Member — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 03:57:39 GMT

Hi Experts,

We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 ( Ehp4) having Classic Scenario.

We are only using Shopping Cart functionality and most of the Material and services will have Contract & Pur. Info Records in ECC B/E system.

in SRM, if any Product don't have any SoS , then user can assign Supplier code and Price manually in S/C and Classic PO creates automatically. But if User missed to enter Supplier code then, in that case we neither want to sent the S/C to the Sourcing Cockpit nor want to create ECC PR from it.

If there is NO any SoS ( ECC Contract or Pur Info Record) exist , then user MUST have to enter Supplier code & price manually and so we want to set the fields SUPPLIER & PRICE MANDATORY.

Is it Possible ? if yes , then how this can be done ?

Thanks

But if User missed to enter Supplier code then, in that case we neither want to sent the S/C to the Sourcing Cockpit nor want to create ECC PR from it. - If the REQUESTIONER enter prefered vendor - it can create only PR IF NO SOURCING . if REQUESTIOTIONER selected fixed vendor - Then PO created .
here you are giving more control to REQUISITIONER department than Purchasing department.

you can validate any field to make mandatory...and spit error by doc check BADI.

Though business allows REQUISITIONER wants to create PO directly from the shopping cart without BUYER intervention and WITHOUT Fixed vendor . no issues . Asimple logic to change preferred vendor 39 to fixed vendor 19 logic by doc change badi

so whenever REQUESTIONER assign a preffered vendor it can create a Purchase order.

Assigning source of supply decision is very critical to business . Business wants always it should be competetive best price.

Hope you understand ..

Thanks Muthu.

I understand it. But our business have some what different type and in fact there is no any REQUISITIONER , everyone is BUYER here. I know we can make any field mandatory in SRM , but requierment is quite differnet as below

If there is NO any SoS ( ECC Contract or Pur Info Record) exist , then ONLY user MUST have to enter Supplier code & price manually and so we want to set the fields SUPPLIER & PRICE MANDATORY

There are two fileds 1.Prefered supplier and 2. Supplier.We will hide Prefered supplier field.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hello,

You should check if such fields are filled through BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI.

In metadata you can set the field as mandatory (star icon), but this will not check the field automatically. You should implement the badi to validate the field content.

Best regards,

Ricardo
