How to find out whether the system user is a vendor or a purchaser

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working in SRM 5.0. I have a requirement that some fields of Bid invitation can be visible by purchaser but not to bidder.

How to find out whether the system user (user id though which system logged in) is a vendor or a purchaser. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Hi,

You can search the User ID in the SRM Org Structure in PPOSA_BBP or Vendor Groups PPOSV_BBP.If its there in the Vendor groups, it will be a vendor, depends on assignment.

Hi,

How about checking the role assigned to the user ?

Customers usually use employee ID for user ID.

Thanx Masa for your quick response .

I am also using Employee id as user id but how to know, that user id is a bidder's id or purchaser's id

check his role.

is surrogate bidding available for that bidder.

via surrogate bid , purchaser can submit bid on behalf of the bidder.

masa is correct

pposa_bbp - search via user . so he might be a purchaser.

maintain business partner -supply your bidder bp number -edit

go to bidder data .Under bidder data you must flag "PERMIT PROXY BIDDING"
