Hi Muthu,

Yes there are three steps.

Step 1: Assigning item to the work area

Step 2: Assigning source of Supply

Step 3: Creating follow-on document (contract, bid, PO)

Hope this helps,

Kind Regards,

Hello Muthu,

In Assign Sources of Supply activity view, you can find the button "Propose Source of Supply" which proposes the supplier for you.

Answer to the other question.

In some SRM applications like Shopping Cart, Carry out Sourcing etc, SAP uses GAF(Guided Activity framework) functionality for the business objects and this is intended for better usability.

Hello Muthu,

Guided Activity Floorplan (GAF) is a design template that dictates the structure and behavior of a user interface of a guided activity.
